Andy lived high in the Rocky Mountains. He hunted (打獵)wild animals there and he also took other men hunting. That was his work.

One day a letter brought Andy a new job. This job changed both his feeling about animals and his way of hunting. The letter said: "I want to write a story about bighorn sheep. I need pictures to go with my story. Will you get pictures of the sheep for me?"

Andy’s two sons wanted their father to take the job. “We will help you!” they said. Bighorn sheep are very wild. Andy knew it would be hard to get their pictures. “But why not try?” they said.

For days, Andy and his sons tried to get their pictures. They did not want the sheep to hear or see them, so they walked softly. They hid behind rocks, but the sheep always ran away.

Then one day, Andy and his sons walked around a big rock. They met some sheep face to face. But they didn’t run! “Now I know why the sheep run away,” Andy said. “They run because we come up behind them. From now on, we will stay where they can see us.”

The next day, Andy saw some sheep right out in the open. He and his sons walked towards them. They did not worry to hide, but they did walk slowly. They knew that any fast move would frighten them away.

“Don’t look direct at the sheep,” Andy said. “Wild animals do not like to be looked at. They will run away.” They looked off to this side and to that side, and they walked closer and closer. And soon they were close enough to get good clear pictures.

They made good friends with the wild sheep and sent many fine pictures to the writer for his story. Since then, they have never hunted the bighorn sheep again.

1.What was the new job Andy got?

A.To hunt bighorn sheep. B.To write a story about bighorn sheep.

C.To protect bighorn sheep. D.To take pictures of bighorn sheep.

2.What is the correct way to get close to bighorn sheep?

a. Andy and his sons met some sheep face to face.

b. Andy and his sons walked towards the sheep.

c. Andy and his sons hid behind the rocks.

d. Andy and his sons tried to take photos.

A.a-c-b-d B.d-c-a-b C.d-c-b-a D.a-c-b-d

3.What did Andy gain from his new job?

A.He won respect from his children. B.He was well paid by the story writer.

C.He knew better how to use a camera. D.He learned more about bighorn sheep.
