For better research and protection, elephants in the reserve (保护区) should wear GPS collars (项圈). Last June, it was Rommel's turn to wear a collar. He was a huge and bad-tempered elephant, weighing about six tons. One morning, searching around the reserve, we found Rommel playing by the river. A tranquillizer (镇静剂) was carefully shot into his bottom so that we could safely place a collar on him. Normally it takes seven minutes for the drug to act, but for Rommel's size it could take longer. 

He was crossing the river when the drug did work. Slowly, he fell down into the water. This could lead to a disaster- Rommel's death, because his trunk would be submerged (淹没) in the river.     ★     . Only by doing this could we ensure his survival. The problem was that the river was deep and filled with crocodiles (鳄鱼). 

In a flash, I decided to act. I jumped in and lifted his heavy trunk above the water. The water level reached my neck. 

I stayed there for at least 10 minutes as the team tried to fit him with the collar. It was rather hard to keep my cool as my arms became exhausted. Small fish swam past my legs. Each time, fear hit: was it a crocodile? There was also another risk that other elephants might come and cause trouble. 

As soon as his ears started to flap—a sign of consciousness (意识) returning—I dropped his trunk and moved to safety. Then he completely awoke and crossed the river. What a wonderful moment, for both him and me!

Have you met someone who kept talking and talking, and you couldn't get them to stop? You don't want to be impolite by telling them to shut up, but you really want to get out of the conversation. Here are some ways to help you.

Use body language. While it may feel impolite, you could turn away, put your headphones on, and avoid looking at his or her eyes, which will show that you don't want to talk. This may save you from directly telling someone to stop talking.

Keep working on whatever activity you are doing. Get up and move around, be active and find little things to do instead of listening.

Interrupt them as soon as you can. Saying things like "I'd like to add something" or "If I could interrupt you for just a minute" will often let someone know that they are talking too much.

Lead the conversation. This is especially helpful when dealing with someone you often talk to. Let them know that you heard what they said and guide the conversation in a different direction.

Mention that you don't have a lot of time to talk. Expressions like "I would love to chat but I have to go for a movie right now" and "Today's not a great day to talk. I have a lot of tasks" will make you easily end the conversation.

Remember: It is a skill to back out of a conversation without saying "You are boring. Shut up."
