24、iceBThe Brown BearMy wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home inAlaskawhen we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!”
25、An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hun
26、ger.I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this
27、 was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into m
28、y side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. The
29、n, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack- The first time I felf panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for u
30、s could hardly have been better. Im proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.60.

31、 went away after it _.A. felt safeB. got injured C. found some foodD. took away the camera62.

32、ed to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you w
33、hat to do with the sail.Lets start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90 angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from t
34、he side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45 angle to the boat.Itneeds to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动). It shouldnt look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far
35、, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you cant go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When y
36、ou are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.63. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors strength. B. Wave levels. C. Wind directions. D. Size of sails.64.

38、ight I was drivingHarrisburg to Lewisburg，distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.At one point aan open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light.
39、I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, thehuman being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering wh
40、y I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly noman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why Id stopped for thatcame back to me. I think I stopped because its part of a contract (契
41、约) we all have with each other. Its notthe law, but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination (倾向).

42、t, not distrust. We do what we say well do; we show up when we say well show up; and we pay when we say well pay.
