Alexis,17,sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car,looking out of the window.Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them.“Dad,there’s a deer there!” Alexis said.
As the car moved closer,Alexis heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head.Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman.Sue,a 44-year-old mother,had been out for her morning run.The deer followed her and edged closer.“I knew I was in trouble,” Sue says.She went to pick up a stick for self-defense,and the deer charged.It lifted her with its antlers(鹿角) and threw her into the air.Sue could feel blood flowing down her leg.
When Alexis and her father pulled up,the deer was throwing Sue like a doll.Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes,and before her father had even stopped the car,the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer.“I was kicking it to get its attention,” she says.Then her father,who had followed his daughter,tried to push the deer away from the women.
Alexis helped Sue into the car,and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg.“We’re going to get you to a hospital,” Alexis said.Then she heard her father shout loudly.He had been knocked to the ground.Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back.She beat the deer’s head and neck,but the blows didn’t scare it away.“I was losing faith,” she says.“A couple more strikes,Alexis,” said her father.“You can do it.” Turning the hammer around,Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength.When she opened her eyes,the deer was running away.Alexis’ father got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.

The last school bell rings and your kids are off for the summer.For most kids those thoughts of schoolwork and lessons are a distant memory that they won’t be thinking about again until fall.So it’s important for them to continue some learning.

Learning to express your thoughts.The writing in a logical manner is a skill that is often lost.To help your kids,have them write about things during the summer.If your kids love something such as animals,have them write a short report about them to share with the family.If you are going on a trip,have your kids keep a travel journal.

3.答案 on

9.答案 parents

10.答案 kindness
解析 考查词性转换。根据后文and warmth可知,应填名词kindness,表示“善良”。故填kindness。
