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.

Dogs often chase kangaroos,which have been known to lead the pets into water and defend themselves there.

At present time,roller skating (滑旱冰) is easy and fun. But many years ago,it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750,people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin.

Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H₂0 as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin,makes you feel pretty good about yourself,right? It shouldn’t. Even when the bottles are recycled,there are all kinds of other consequences of swallowing bottled waterways Melissa Peffers,the air-quality programme manager for Environmental Defense.

The containers are often filled in faraway lands,then shipped from abroad,and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap,filling a glass,and drinking up!

Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided,says Peffers. “Most bottled water is just tap water. ”And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive,especially when compared with the alternative,which is almost free,and it is astonishing that America’s desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy,reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year.

“My parents’ generation never had bottled water”’says Isabelle Silverman,an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free. “You don’t need to fetch it home from the store,and it’s cheaper,” she adds.

Bottled water’s role as a status symbol needs to change,Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers“And what’s your drink?”that,no reason to forget your conviction (信念) .“Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I’ll have tap. ’ Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you”’Peffers says. “And then spend that money on a dessert. ”

( ) 1. In the first paragraph,the underlined sentence “It shouldn’t, ”suggests that people .

A. shouldn’t feel pleased with finishing the water in the bottle

B. shouldn’t feel good about drinking an expensive brand H₂0

C. shouldn’t be content with just recycling empty bottles

D. shouldn’t be satisfied with drinking only bottled water

( ) 2. According to the author,tap water is .

A. as safe as bottled water

B. more likely to be polluted

C. healthier than bottled water

D. less convenient than bottled water

( ) 3. The underlined part “going bottle free”(in Para. 4)means “

A. making bottled water free

B. abandoning bottled water

C. recycling used water bottles

D. providing free water containers

( ) 4. Why does Peffers ask people to say “I’ll have tap. ”

loudly?

A. To encourage them to set an example for others to follow.

B. To advise them to save the money for one more dessert.

C. To remind them to be aware of their social status.

D. To persuade them to speak confidently in public.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a transformational experience for many people. The things that make the mountain hard are the very things that make it so powerful. In the case of my son Josh and I,the walk up Kilimanjaro proved a powerful symbol of his transition into manhood,and a great change in our relationship.

Day three on the mountain,Josh was hit with massive headaches. He told me every step felt like a nail driving into his head. And then,on the night we climbed the crater rim,less than 40 minutes from the summit,Josh fell. I was walking ahead,and did not even see it. He was so exhausted that he could not get up. He recalled our guides,debating whether or not they should take him straight down. Josh snapped out of it. He forced himself to his feet,and shook the guides off. He set his face towards the peak and just kept marching. Near the summit he caught up with me and we reached the peak together.

“I’ve never been in so much pain and so happy at the same time”’he said,as we sat side by side on the frozen rock and looked down over Africa. “You know,in the past when we’d go on camping and rafting trips,you guided and took care of me through it all. But on Kilimanjaro it was different. From the bottom up,I climbed it. I never felt like a kid,even when I was in pain. You never acted like a parent. ”

“That’s not quite true ,”I replied. “When you told me that on the summit you fell and I did not even notice,my first thought was ,‘Oh my God!I’m such an awful parent!^y But then it hit me, ‘ He got himself up. He walked to the peak on his own. He didn’t need me to help.

I realized as I spoke that two people had died that night on Kilimanjaro. A child and a parent. It was just two friends who walked down the mountain together.
