Do you want to see majestic lions roaring, rare rhinos running and colorful birds flying?

You’ll find this incredible display of nature in the Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley.

First stop

Fly into Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This great city is known for its fashion markets and

beautiful art. And be sure to pick up some rich Kenyan coffee while you’re there! Then head

for the countryside.

Plan your trip

The largest of the three lakes in the system, Lake Nakuru, is less than 175 kilometers from

Nairobi. But Lakes Bogoria and Elementaita are equally worth a visit. You can stay at one of

several choices of luxurious cabins in the valley. And if you sign up for a trip, be sure to put

flamingos, the white and pink birds, at the top of your list.

Paradise

The Kenya Lake System is shallow and alkaline ( 碱性的). That means it supports

vegetation such as green algae, a food source for many waterfowl. Hundreds of species of birds

flourish here, using this area as a major breeding and nesting ground. Water buffalo, leopards,

monkeys and the endangered Rothschild giraffe also make this area their home.

Other sights

Wildlife isn’t the only natural wonder in the Great Rift Valley. The valley marks a place

where the earth is divided far below the surface. This rock separation below ground leads to

noticeable features above ground. Walking around Lake Bogoria especially, you will see steam

rising from hot springs.

Other activities include golfing, horseback riding and hiking. The fun doesn’t stop when

the sun goes down, either. The river valley is far from city lights, so many visitors gaze at the

stars shining above.

If you are ready for a wildlife experience, don’t hesitate!

A year after I left college, I was given the opportunity to host the 6 o'clock news in

Baltimore. The whole goal in the media at the time I was coming up was try to move to larger

markets, so getting the job at 22 was such a big deal. And I was so proud，

because I was finally

going to have my chance to be like Barbara Walters, who had been my idol since the start of

my TV career. I was 22 in 1976, making $22,000 a year, it didn’t feel right yet.

The first sign was when they tried to change my name. The news director said to me at the

time, “Nobody’s going to remember Oprah. So, we want to change your name. We’ve come up

with a name we think that people will remember and people will like. It’s a friendly name:

Suzie.”

I grew up not loving the name, but once I was asked to change it, I thought, well, it is my

name and do I look like a Suzie to you? I thought, no, it doesn’t feel right. I’m not going to

change my name. And whether people remember it or not, that’s OK.

And then they said they didn’t like the way I looked, so they sent me to a salon where they

gave me a perm (烫发). After a few days all my hair fell out and I had to shave my head. At last,

they really didn’t like the way I looked, because I was black and bald and sitting on TV wasn’t

a pretty picture.

But even worse than being bald, I really hated being sent to report on other people’s

tragedies as a part of my daily duty. And after eight months, I lost that job. They said I was too

emotional. But since they didn’t want to pay out the contract, they put me on a talk show. And

the moment I sat down on that show, the moment I felt like I’d come home. I realized that TV

could be more than just a playground, but a platform for helping other people lift their lives.

And the moment I sat down, doing that talk show, it felt like breathing. And that’s where

everything that followed for me began.

4. What can we infer from paragraph1?

A. The writer’s aim after graduation was to leave Baltimore.

B. Barbara Walters was a host the writer admired most.

C. The writer didn’t feel right because she thought she could earn more.

D. The writer was proud because she could work with Barbara Walters

5.. What caused the author to dislike her first job?

A. Reporting tragedies every day.

B. Not being good at reporting on other people’s tragedies.

C. The boss’s wanting to put her on another talk show.

D. Being black and bald and sitting on TV.
