第二十六讲　阅读简答(二) (1)(10 min.) (师大附中2012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 Hagars 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 18-month-old 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 cougars 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 wasnt far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey.” “Any hesitation, at any moment, even a second delay, would have resulted in certain death for Julien. The cougar was just about to break his neck and carry him away to be eaten in the forest.”Hagar said. Julien has since made a full recovery. Parks Canada spokeswoman Arlene Armstrong told the National Post newspaper of Canada in an interview in August.“The two men acted properly by maintaining eye contact with the big cat and aggressively scaring it off.” 1.
