My name is Sarah. I like animals very much. When I left school at eighteen, I got a job at a zoo as a
student keeper. Now,five years later, things have changed-I have passed my exams and I am a full animal
keeper. 　　
     The money is not good. I only get￡9,000 a year. You have to be outside in rain and snow, which is
hard work, and you get very dirty. But this doesn't matter to me because animals are the most important
thing in my life! 　　There are a hundred monkeys and fifty deer in my part of the zoo and I give them
their food and clean their houses. I also need to watch them carefully to be sure that they are all well. In
fact rhinos (犀牛) are my favourite animals and so last year I went to Africa (非洲) with a workmate for
a month to study them. 　　
     The zoo is open every day and I work five different days each week. I live in a small flat (公寓) twenty
minutes away and I get up at ten to seven and start work at eight. The first thing I do when I get home at
quarter past five is to take a shower!

　　There are Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) , which live on the Qinghai-Tibet
plateau (高原) have been used to the high speed trains flying by above them.
　　"The heavy use of the underpasses (铁路下过路口 )shows the animals'
migration (迁徙)habits have not been affected by the railway," said Yang Qisen,
who has been studying the railway's impact (影响) on wildlife since it opened
five years ago.
　　Yang, who is a researcher with the Institute of Zoology under the  
Chinese  Academy of Sciences  (中科院动物研究厅), said a group of 3,000
antelopes live mostly in eastern Qinghai Province. However, every June, some
of them migrate to the Kekexili region of western Qinghai and northeastern Tibet
to give birth to their young.
　　The animals make their return journey in August, which means they pass
under the railway twice a year, he said.
　　For the past five years, between June and September, Yang and his team
have stayed near the railway to find out what it had done on local wildlife. They
have paid close attention to the migration patterns of the antelopes.
　　In 2004, 96 percent of the migrating antelopes were seen using the
underpasses. After 2005, the figure rose to 98 percent, Yang said.
