 MELBOURNE,Australia- A kangaroo frightened by a man walking his dog attacked the pair,throwing the pet underwater and hitting the owner in the stomach with its back legs. The Australian,Chris Rickard,was in stable condition. The attack ended when the 49-year-old man struck the kangaroo in the throat.

  Rickard said he was walking his dog,Rocky,on Sunday morning when they surprised a sleeping kangaroo in Arthur’s Creek. The dog chased the animal into a pond,when the kangaroo turned and knocked the pet underwater.

  When Rickard tried to pull his dog free,the kangaroo turned on him,attacking with its back legs and tearing a deep cut into his stomach and across his face.

“I thought I might take action to drag the dog out from under his grasp,but I didn’t expect him to actually attack me ,” Rickard,49.told The Herald Sun newspaper. “It was a shock at the start because it was a kangaroo,about 5 feet high. It doesn't go around killing people. ”

  “I was stuck having to hold on to the dog with both hands because it was half drowned and I couldn’t really see anything because the kangaroo just attacked me. ”

He added, “All I could do was just keep pushing for the bank and he was trying to push me under the water,so at that point I struck him in the throat and that made him back off a little bit. ”

  “I don’t think I,ll ever be able to watch kangaroo programmes quite the same as I used to—it might bring back a couple of bad memories. ”

  Kangaroos rarely attack people but will fight if they feel threatened.

 LONDON—A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison,saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.

  It is believed that James McCormick got about $ 77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors—which were based on a kind of golf ball finder—to countries including Iraq,Belgium and Saudi Arabia.

  McCormick,57.was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced on Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.

  “Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people ,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick, “and you have neither regret,nor shame,nor any sense of guilt. ”

The detectors,sold for up to $ 42,000 each,were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.

  McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya,the prison service in Hong Kong,the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.

“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.

   C. He made detectors.

   A. increased the cost of safeguarding

   B. lowered people’s guard against danger

   C. changed people’s idea of social security

   D. caused innocent people to commit crimes

(   ) 3. Which of the following is TRUE about the detec tors?

   A. They have not been sold to Africa.

   B. They have caused many serious problems.

   C. They can find dangerous objects in water.
