My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when 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!” An aggressive 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 of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
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 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 my 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.Then,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 felt 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 us could hardly have been better.I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

B.After it got injured.
C.After it found some food.
D.After it took away the camera.

A.calmness B.patience
C.pride D.cautiousness
3.When the bear moved back towards the forest,how did the family feel
A.Excited. B.Threatened.
C.Relieved. D.Puzzled.

J.K.Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day.Her HarryPotter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.
She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter.So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series,she noticed.Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9-year-old daughter Bailey.
He included a link to his article titled BeingaBrokeParent.He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events.The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV,which means there’s no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter.Since he received the series,the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together.
Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties,but he’s loving reading them now.“We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud,” Burke explains.“This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone,but it gets me directly involved in something she loves,and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book,which has proven to be a ton of fun.”
After hearing Burke’s story,Rowling said how honored she was when HarryPotter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more books.Besides,people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts.For Burke,this experience,far more than gifts,will be what he treasures.
5.Why did Burke thank J.K.Rowling according to the text
A.She guided him how to write a good story.
B.She encouraged him when he was in trouble.
C.Her books helped him through times of confusion.
D.Her books helped him improve his bond with his daughter.
6.What is implied in Burke’s words in Paragraph 4
A.He has found it interesting to read the series.
B.He was too old to understand the series better.
C.He has chosen a better way of reading the series.
D.He hopes to play a role in the drama in the future.
7.Which word can best describe Burke’s experience according to the text
A.Unique. B.Normal.
C.Precious. D.Funny.
8.What is the main idea of this text
