I graduated in 1998 from a university located in Makassar. One year later, I had an opportunity to be a researcher at Indonesian Science Institute.
After passing the written test, I was one of the 12 candidates who moved to the interview session, competing for the 6 positions offered. More than 400 applicants applied at the beginning. So most of the 12 candidates thought that it was a great achievement to be in the last stage. Of course, all of us prepared to perform well in the interview, which was going to be held two days later.
But I faced a serious problem: we were advised to bring our undergraduate paper (毕业论文) at the time of the interview, but I didn't bring it. I made a phone call to ask my brother to mail the paper to me as soon as possible. The interview was to be held at 10:00 AM. At 9:50, the package didn't show up.
I waited a little longer, and then I decided to attend the interview without the paper. I thought it was just advised but not required to show our paper. During the interview, I was the only one who didn't bring an undergraduate paper. The interviewers explored our academic background and other issues related to the position as young researchers. During the interview, I answered all the questions well.
One hour later, the result was placed on the notice board. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my name was placed in number 7. I failed. On the right side, there was an explanation: no paper showed.
I didn't complain. I knew it was my fault. I learnt a good lesson from it. I'd like to tell you that a small stone makes us stumble (绊倒), not a big rock.

You may be fascinated with pictures of animals in the wild. You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are rarely seen in the city. If you do get that chance, you may want to consider the following tips or rules.
First of all, a lot of professional photographer give respect to these animals and the environment they are in. Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or hurt you.
Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real, live, wild animals. A wild animal may bite to protect itself. You must be sensitive while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements. Do not feed the animals, or interact with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.
If you will be going to a place where it is privately (私人) owned, you'd better get the owner's permission first before you start taking pictures.
Change the flash of your camera to natural light, so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting. Animals do not react well when they are surprised.
Be very patient. Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its moods. Be familiar with the animals' natural habitat.
Now if those rules are clear, it is time for planning. Consider the weather; some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain. Therefore, a little research on the weather will not hurt. You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset. Now if the animal is nocturnal (夜间活动的), then you should prepare to battle not only the wild but also the darkness.
An adventure in the wild will make you very excited. However, you should be well equipped, have experts to back you up, and also a permit for doing the photo shoot. If you do not have any of these, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife. But conservation (保护) of the African elephant faces special difficulties. While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. That's why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.
Years ago, overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants' survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.
The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation — land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts (冲突) between local farmers and these big animals.
Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.
AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. The information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.
The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local farmers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.
