        On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila
    waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. "And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying
    under my car," Leila explained. "I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this wasf dangerous; they
    had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used
    to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my
    car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!" 
        Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides
    (隐匿处) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night.
    For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (荫处)
    out of the wind and rain.
        Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in
    20 is good.

    [     ]

    C. Because it's easy to see the elephants.

        The first walk into outer space was taken by a Soviet astronaut. Astronaut Zhai Zhigang became the first
    Chinese to walk in space on September 27,2008. It showed that it was quite safe for a man to be outside the
    spaceship for a certain period of time. But to walk in space, astronauts have to meet with many kinds of
    difficulties and dangers.
        The spaceship goes round the earth at an altitude (海拔高度) of about 200 kilometers above its surface. At
    such altitudes there is no atmosphere which prtects the life on the earth. The conditions of outer space are very
    harmful to man.
        The boiling point of liquids (液体) goes down with pressure. But pressure outside the spaceship is nearly
    zero. In such conditions the decompression (减压) of the spacesuit may cause the boiling of the blood and quick
    death. There is radiation from space and it is harmful.
        Breathing problems in space can be solved with the help of the spacesuit. Another problem is heat. Man gives
    off heat in the course (过程) of his activity, and the harder the labor (劳动) is, the greater the amount (总量) of
    heat is. In space unless special measures are taken, the heat inside the spacesuit would make the conditions
    difficult.
