第二十六讲 阅读简答(二) (1)(10 min.) (师大附中2017届高三下学期模拟) He seems an unlikely hero, especially one that would save a kid from the jaws of a wild cougar(美洲豹) . Shen Huigang is just now getting recognition for his bravery in fighting off a cougar on Vancouver Island, Canada, during a family outing on Aug. 30. Shen, also known as Ian, was then an exchange student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University enjoying the afternoon on a beach near Ucluelet, a small town on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar's two grandchildren. Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere. By the time the two adults spotted the cat, believed to be young but still weighing 30 to 35 kilograms, it already had the head of 18monthold Julien in its mouth. Instinctively, the young man gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and tried to scare the beast off with the bag in his hands. On hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the kid and Hagar grabbed his grandson from the cougar's jaws. Shen and Hagar gradually chased the animal back into the woods. “We also moved slowly to our vehicle, as we waved our fists and bags, pretending we wanted to fight with it, ”Shen said.“The vehicle wasn't far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey.” |
