There are endless opportunities to enjoy fishing in the Lake District. Many of our rivers hold good stocks of all kinds of fish. Several of the larger lakes are particularly good for their coarse fishing (捕捉杂鱼活动) better.
Much of the fishing within the National Park is controlled by local Angling (钓鱼) Associations. These welcome visitors and offer a range of daily or weekly permits. Visitors can also enjoy fishing for free on Windermere, Ullswater and Coniston Water.

Jacob hated finishing things almost as much as he loved starting them. As a result, he had gotten into a million hobbies and activities, but he never stuck with any of them long enough to get any good.
He begged his mother for months for a guitar so that he could play songs to Angie a girl he liked, but after he finally got one for Christmas, he found out that guitars didn’t play themselves. He took a few lessons, but the strings hurt his fingers, so now the five-hundred dollar guitar lives under his bed.
After reading an ad in the back of one of his comic books, Jacob decided that he wanted a metal detector (探测器), so that he could find buried treasure. By the time spring came he had saved $200 and purchased the metal detector. He beeped it around the park for a while, but soon found out that no one had ever left any treasure in his neighborhood. He buried the metal detector in his closest.
Given Jacob’s history with hobbies, it was no surprise that Jacob’s father was unwilling to buy him a magician’s kit (魔术包) for his birthday. “Dad, this time I’ll stick with it for real. I promise!” Jacob begged. Jacob’s father sighed. But he was reminded of his own youth long ago, when he quit football and started boxing practice before hardly getting his equipment dirty. So when Jacob’s birthday came around, he was both surprised and pleased to find the magician’s kit that he had desired so badly. As Jacob continued pulling plastic thumbs and giant playing cards out of the kit, an ad on the TV caught his attention.
“Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to go to space For only $195 you can go to space camp and live life like an astronaut for a whole weekend!” As the ad continued playing, Jacob walked away from the magic kit and stared at the TV screen eagerly. Jacob’s cry rang throughout the house as he yelled, “MOM!” He now knew what his true purpose in life was.
4. Why did Jacob stop playing the guitar
A. It was too expensive. B. He disliked the lessons.
C. It hurt his fingers. D. He became interested in comic books.
5. Jacob’s father decided to buy him the magician’s kit because ________.
A. Jacob reminded his father of himself B. Jacob’s birthday was coming
C. Jacob quit many expensive activities D. Jacob insisted on having it
6. Which of the following is Jacob most likely to do next based on the end of the story
A. Become a great magician. B. Raise money to go to space camp.
C. Detect an incredible hidden treasure. D. Learn to play guitar well.
7. What can be learned about Jacob according to the passage
A He was determined in pursuing his dreams. B. He finally found his true purpose in life.
C. He has always wanted to be a magician. D. He never stuck with anything for long.
C
This fall, students at the University of Massachusetts found a new menu at their canteens: the “diet for a cooler planet” menu. This meant herb-roasted lamb, raised with a carbon-friendly approach. It included sweet potatoes that had been picked from a local farm’s field. The options were plant-heavy, locally grown, and involved little or no packaging.
“We wanted to let students participate in climate action by making choices about their food” says Kathy Wicks, sustainability (可持续发展) director for UMass Dining The university is not alone in this effort. Increasingly, American consumers and institutions are thinking about how their food choices impact climate change. For many, small choices at the grocery store and restaurant can be more accessible than big-ticket options like buying a fuel-efficient car.
Small changes in eating habits may make a big difference. Studies point to the food system as a significant cause of global warming. According to Project Drawdown, a research organization that evaluates climate solutions, the way food is grown, transported, and consumed accounts for about 1/4 of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (排放).Beef is a regular target. “If, on average, Americans cut 1/4 pound of beef per week from their diet, it’s like taking 10 million cars off the road a year,” says Sujatha Bergen, director of health campaigns for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Food waste ranks third among climate solutions. While much waste occurs before consumers are involved, Americans also throw out a lot of food they have purchased (购买) about $1, 600 worth a year per family of four.
“People are beginning to understand that their food choices have a big impact on climate,”says Megan Larnner, director of regional food at the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming in New York. But she adds that substantial change will need to come from the whole food system.
8. What is the purpose of the new menu at the University of Massachusetts
A. To market the cold dishes. B. To reduce the cost of packaging.
C. To raise low carbon awareness. D. To popularize the plant-heavy diet.
9. What can be inferred from Parngraph 2
A. Food choices matter much to global warming.
B. Food is a decisive factor for climate change.
C. Universities are working together in climate action.
D. Fuel-efficient cars are not affordable for consumers.
10. What does Sujatha Bergen say about beef
A. It plays a significant role in American’s diet. B. It is popular among millions of car drivers.
C. It has no relationship with gas emission. D. It has great influence on carbon reduction.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Food System Reform: A Successful Trial B. Low Carbon Diet: A trend, or More
C. Carbon Emission: A Killer or Healer D. Global Warming: An Approaching Danger
D
In habitats across the planet, animals periodically drop everything to walk, fly or swim to a new place. Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.
Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory’s shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.
Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals’ movements.
But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration-refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.
Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.”
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A It describes animals’ habitats. B. It talks about migration models.
C. It compares different species. D. It introduces a tracking technology.
13. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The opening for learning and practice.
B. The unique living habit of Cory’s shearwaters.
C. The way Cory’s shearwaters form their migration patterns.
D. The process scientists track Cory’s shearwaters’ movements.
14. What does Letizia’s study find about the younger Cory’s shearwaters
A. They travel as much as adult birds. B. They move in a predictable manner.
C. They lower the speed for exploration. D. They look for a course with their parents.
15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Man-made changes make migration easier.
B. Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track.
C. Course exploration contributes to birds’ adaptability.
D. A combination of strategies assures migration success.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was a huge pond just a few kilometers from where we stayed. Since moving into our new home in the countryside, my brother, Jim and I used to often sneak out to the pond where we would meet another friend. Mom had warned us not to get close to the pond, especially after a friend informed her that an alligator(鳄鱼) had been spotted there. We ignored her advice though.
On this particular afternoon, the three of us had fun in the pond. As evening approached, we finished swimming. Jim and Syed were unwillingly making their way towards the place where they had left their clothes. I stayed back and was bathing in the water when I suddenly became aware of ripples(涟漪) forming on the surface of the water. I raised my head and looked at the ripples. My eyes caught a motion in the water. A log, I thought. Then I saw it—its scary nose and its two mean eyes. “Jim…” I cried. Then I screamed with all my might.
Jim turned his head in my direction and immediately recognized the danger. “Get out of the water, Jeff. Hurry! It’s just behind you.”
I waded(瞠水) clumsily(笨拙地) in the water. With great effort, I reached the edge of the pond. I looked over my shoulder. Moving quickly towards me was a huge alligator. I froze. Then suddenly I felt a great pain in my leg. Meanwhile, Jim and Syed screamed and started throwing stones at the alligator and managed to distract it. The alligator went for them now. As it opened its jaws, I could see its sharp teeth. I tried to move but a pain shot through me. I was in a pool of blood. Jim and Syed were scared.

Jacob hated finishing things almost as much as he loved starting them. As a result, he had gotten into a million hobbies and activities, but he never stuck with any of them long enough to get any good.
He begged his mother for months for a guitar so that he could play songs to Angie, a girl he liked, but after he finally got one for Christmas, he found out that guitars didn’t play themselves. He took a few lessons, but the strings hurt his fingers, so now the five-hundred dollar guitar lives under his bed.
After reading an ad in the back of one of his comic books, Jacob decided that he wanted a metal detector (探测器), so that he could find buried treasure. By the time spring came he had saved $200 and purchased the metal detector. He beeped it around the park for a while, but soon found out that no one had ever left any treasure in his neighborhood. He buried the metal detector in his closest.
Given Jacob’s history with hobbies, it was no surprise that Jacob’s father was unwilling to buy him a magician’s kit (魔术包) for his birthday. “Dad, this time I’ll stick with it for real. I promise!” Jacob begged. Jacob’s father sighed. But he was reminded of his own youth long ago, when he quit football and started boxing practice before hardly getting his equipment dirty. So when Jacob’s birthday came around, he was both surprised and pleased to find the magician’s kit that he had desired so badly. As Jacob continued pulling plastic thumbs and giant playing cards out of the kit, an ad on the TV caught his attention.
“Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to go to space For only $195 you can go to space camp and live life like an astronaut for a whole weekend!” As the ad continued playing, Jacob walked away from the magic kit and stared at the TV screen eagerly. Jacob’s cry rang throughout the house as he yelled, “MOM!” He now knew what his true purpose in life was.
4. Why did Jacob stop playing the guitar
A. It was too expensive. B. He disliked the lessons.
C. It hurt his fingers. D. He became interested in comic books.
5. Jacob’s father decided to buy him the magician’s kit because ________.
A. Jacob reminded his father of himself B. Jacob’s birthday was coming
C. Jacob quit many expensive activities D. Jacob insisted on having it
6. Which of the following is Jacob most likely to do next based on the end of the story
A. Become a great magician. B. Raise money to go to space camp.
C. Detect an incredible hidden treasure. D. Learn to play guitar well.
7. What can be learned about Jacob according to the passage
A. He was determined in pursuing his dreams. B. He finally found his true purpose in life.
C. He has always wanted to be a magician. D. He never stuck with anything for long.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jacob是一个喜新厌旧的孩子，他有很多爱好，从吉他到金属探测仪，到魔术工具包再到太空旅行，但是没有一个爱好他能坚持下来。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He took a few lessons, but the strings hurt his fingers, so now the five-hundred dollar guitar lives under his bed.(他上了几节课，但琴弦弄伤了他的手指，所以现在这把价值五百美元的吉他就放在他的床底下。)”可知，Jacob不再弹吉他的原因是琴弦伤了他的手指，故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“But he was reminded of his own youth long ago, when he quit football and started boxing practice before hardly getting his equipment dirty. So when Jacob’s birthday came around, he was both surprised and pleased to find the magician’s kit that he had desired so badly(但是他想起了很久以前自己的青年时代，当时他放弃了足球，开始练拳击，几乎没有把他的装备弄脏。因此，当雅各布的生日来临时，他既惊讶又高兴地发现了他渴望很久的魔术师工具箱)”可知，Jacob的爸爸决定给Jacob买魔术师工具箱是因为Jacob让父亲想起了自己的经历，故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to go to space For only $195 you can go to space camp and live life like an astronaut for a whole weekend!” As the ad continued playing, Jacob walked away from the magic kit and stared at the TV screen eagerly. Jacob’s cry rang throughout the house as he yelled, “MOM!” He now knew what his true purpose in life was.(“嘿，孩子们！你想过去太空吗？只要195美元，你就可以去参加太空夏令营，像宇航员一样度过整个周末！”当广告继续播放时，雅各布从魔术工具箱旁走开，热切地盯着电视屏幕。雅各布的喊声响彻整个房子，他喊道: “妈妈！”他现在知道他人生的真正目的是什么了。)”可知，根据故事的结尾，Jacob下一步最有可能筹集钱去太空营，故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“As a result, he had gotten into a million hobbies and activities, but he never stuck with any of them long enough to get any good.(结果，他有了无数的兴趣爱好和活动，但是他从来没有坚持足够长的时间，以至于没有获得任何好处。)”可推知，Jacob对任何事都不会坚持太久。故选D。
C
This fall, students at the University of Massachusetts found a new menu at their canteens: the “diet for a cooler planet” menu. This meant herb-roasted lamb, raised with a carbon-friendly approach. It included sweet potatoes that had been picked from a local farm’s field. The options were plant-heavy, locally grown, and involved little or no packaging.
“We wanted to let students participate in climate action by making choices about their food” says Kathy Wicks, sustainability (可持续发展) director for UMass Dining The university is not alone in this effort. Increasingly, American consumers and institutions are thinking about how their food choices impact climate change. For many, small choices at the grocery store and restaurant can be more accessible than big-ticket options like buying a fuel-efficient car.
Small changes in eating habits may make a big difference. Studies point to the food system as a significant cause of global warming. According to Project Drawdown, a research organization that evaluates climate solutions, the way food is grown, transported, and consumed accounts for about 1/4 of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (排放).Beef is a regular target. “If, on average, Americans cut 1/4 pound of beef per week from their diet, it’s like taking 10 million cars off the road a year,” says Sujatha Bergen, director of health campaigns for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Food waste ranks third among climate solutions. While much waste occurs before consumers are involved, Americans also throw out a lot of food they have purchased (购买) about $1, 600 worth a year per family of four.
“People are beginning to understand that their food choices have a big impact on climate,”says Megan Larnner, director of regional food at the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming in New York. But she adds that substantial change will need to come from the whole food system.
8. What is the purpose of the new menu at the University of Massachusetts
A. To market the cold dishes. B. To reduce the cost of packaging.
C. To raise low carbon awareness. D. To popularize the plant-heavy diet.
9. What can be inferred from Parngraph 2
A. Food choices matter much to global warming.
B. Food is a decisive factor for climate change.
C. Universities are working together in climate action.
D. Fuel-efficient cars are not affordable for consumers.
10. What does Sujatha Bergen say about beef
A. It plays a significant role in American’s diet. B. It is popular among millions of car drivers.
C. It has no relationship with gas emission. D. It has great influence on carbon reduction.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Food System Reform: A Successful Trial B. Low Carbon Diet: A trend, or More
C. Carbon Emission: A Killer, or Healer D. Global Warming: An Approaching Danger
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们可以通过选择低碳食物为应对气候变化做出贡献。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This fall, students at the University of Massachusetts found a new menu at their canteens: the ‘diet for a cooler planet’ menu. This meant herb-roasted lamb, raised with a carbon-friendly approach. It included sweet potatoes that had been picked from a local farm’s field. The options were plant-heavy, locally grown, and involved little or no packaging. (今年秋天，马萨诸塞大学的学生们在食堂里发现了一份新菜单：‘更凉爽星球的饮食’菜单。这意味着以碳友好的方式饲养的香草烤羊肉。其中包括从当地农场采摘的红薯。这些选择以植物为主，在当地种植，很少使用包装或没有包装。)”可知，马萨诸塞大学新菜单的目的是提高低碳意识。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Increasingly, American consumers and institutions are thinking about how their food choices impact climate change. For many, small choices at the grocery store and restaurant can be more accessible than big-ticket options like buying a fuel-efficient car. (越来越多的美国消费者和机构开始考虑他们的食物选择如何影响气候变化。对许多人来说，在杂货店和餐馆里选择一些小的东西比买一辆省油的汽车这样的大选择更容易。)”可知，食物选择影响气候变化，比起节能汽车等昂贵的物品来说，食物选择是人们更容易做到的，由此可推知，食物选择对全球变暖意义重大。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Sujatha Bergen所说“If, on average, Americans cut 1/4 pound of beef per week from their diet, it’s like taking 10 million cars off the road a year.(如果美国人平均每周从他们的饮食中减少1/4磅牛肉，这就像每年减少1000万辆汽车。)”可知，牛肉对减少碳排放量有很大的影响。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中“Small changes in eating habits may make a big difference. Studies point to the food system as a significant cause of global warming. (饮食习惯的小改变可能会产生很大的不同。研究指出，粮食系统是全球变暖的一个重要原因。)”以及最后一段中“People are beginning to understand that their food choices have a big impact on climate.(人们开始明白，他们的食物选择对气候有很大的影响。)”可知，本文主要介绍了人们可以通过选择低碳食物为应对气候变化做出贡献。B项“低碳饮食：是趋势，或是更多？”适合做文章标题，故选B项。
D
In habitats across the planet, animals periodically drop everything to walk, fly or swim to a new place. Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.
Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory’s shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.
Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals’ movements.
But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration-refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.
Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.”
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. It describes animals’ habitats. B. It talks about migration models.
C. It compares different species. D. It introduces a tracking technology.
13. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The opening for learning and practice.
B. The unique living habit of Cory’s shearwaters.
C. The way Cory’s shearwaters form their migration patterns.
D. The process scientists track Cory’s shearwaters’ movements.
14. What does Letizia’s study find about the younger Cory’s shearwaters
A. They travel as much as adult birds. B. They move in a predictable manner.
C. They lower the speed for exploration. D. They look for a course with their parents.
15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Man-made changes make migration easier.
B. Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track.
C. Course exploration contributes to birds’ adaptability.
D. A combination of strategies assures migration success.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对Cory海鸥迁徙的模式的研究。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.(鲸鱼和鹅等野生动物通过跟随父母学习迁徙路线。其他鸟类，包括小型鸣禽，通过遗传密码获得迁徙的距离和方向。有些动物利用基因和文化的结合来指导它们的迁徙。)”可知，本段主要讲述动物迁徙的模式。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns.(Cory的海鸥寿命很长，很少能在9岁之前成功繁殖后代。这为学习和实践发展它们的迁移模式留下了空间。)”和“Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”(研究人员称之为“探索-精炼”。)”可知，此处指研究人员称这种模式为“探索－精炼”，第三段中划线的 this指代的是Cory海鸥形成迁徙模式的方式。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.(小的Cory海鸥能飞得和成年海鸥一样快——但它们没有，这表明年轻的海鸥会进行更多的探索，随着它们成熟并适应一个更喜欢的航线，这种探索会逐渐消失。)”可知，Letizia的研究发现小Cory海鸥为了探索降低了它们的飞行速度。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei.(Barbara Frei说，尽管与其他策略相比，这种方法似乎效率较低，但“在一个由于不可预测的人为变化而迅速变化的世界中，探索改进可能对鸟类和其他生物有益。”)”可知，路线探索有助于鸟类的适应能力。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was a huge pond just a few kilometers from where we stayed. Since moving into our new home in the countryside, my brother, Jim and I used to often sneak out to the pond where we would meet another friend. Mom had warned us not to get close to the pond, especially after a friend informed her that an alligator(鳄鱼) had been spotted there. We ignored her advice though.
On this particular afternoon, the three of us had fun in the pond. As evening approached, we finished swimming. Jim and Syed were unwillingly making their way towards the place where they had left their clothes. I stayed back and was bathing in the water when I suddenly became aware of ripples(涟漪) forming on the surface of the water. I raised my head and looked at the ripples. My eyes caught a motion in the water. A log, I thought. Then I saw it—its scary nose and its two mean eyes. “Jim…” I cried. Then I screamed with all my might.
Jim turned his head in my direction and immediately recognized the danger. “Get out of the water, Jeff. Hurry! It’s just behind you.”
I waded(瞠水) clumsily(笨拙地) in the water. With great effort, I reached the edge of the pond. I looked over my shoulder. Moving quickly towards me was a huge alligator. I froze. Then suddenly I felt a great pain in my leg. Meanwhile, Jim and Syed screamed and started throwing stones at the alligator and managed to distract it. The alligator went for them now. As it opened its jaws, I could see its sharp teeth. I tried to move but a pain shot through me. I was in a pool of blood. Jim and Syed were scared.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was about to give up struggling when I thought of the two hunters who passed by just a moment ago. I shouted to Jim and Syed, “Run to the hunters quickly. They can help me.” Waking from the dream, Jim rushed away like an arrow. Syed continued to throw stones at the alligator and I continued to fight against it. Luckily, in a few minutes, Jim and the two hunters arrived. One of the hunter fired a shot in the air. It had the desired effect. The alligator wound its way away in the water. Then, I passed out.
When I woke up, I found myself in a totally unfamiliar environment, a hospital. Mom stood over me. Seeing her, tears flooded down. Later I learned from my mother that I was rushed to the hospital by the kind hunters. My eyes began to water again. I made an apology to Mom. She ran her fingers on my face and wiped my tears. Mom reminded me of how fortunate I was to have escaped from the jaws of the alligator. It was a narrow escape.
