“Wolf!”
Lydia Angiyou's five-year-old nephew Paulussie whispered with alarm as he touched her
arm. At first, she didn't believe him.
Angiyou, Paulussie, her another newphew Lueassie, also five, and her youngest son Jessie,
seven, were walking to her mother's house one night last February. Animals were often sighted
near lvujvik--a village of 274 Inuit on the shore of Hudson Bay--but rarely on its streets.
The 41-year-old teacher and mother of five turned around. Looking behind her into the
darkness, at first she thought that Jessie was the wolf. But a meter behind the boy was 350kg
polar bern -no wolf in sight--standing on the icy road. Jessie turned and saw it, too, then ran,
screaming, to his mother.
Angiyou felt a rush of blood to her brain. "Get as far away as you can!" she shouted to the
boys as she ran towards the bear. She stopped just in front of it, then faced it quiedy. It made a
move to go around her to get to the boys, who must have seemed like the easier meal.
But Angiyou moved with the bear to maintain her position blocking the children. Finally she
got the animal's attention. In response, it rose on its hind legs to its full 2.5m height. The bear
charged, and knocked her into a seated position. The skin under her nose tore. Falling onto her
back, she screamed for help and kicked at the animal in a bicycling motion. She soon passed out.
Sirqualuk Ainalik, a fellow teacher, had been at his brother's house nearby when Jessie
dashed inside for help. Grabing a rifle, the 33-year-old ran to the road, firing a warning shot into
the air. He then aimed his gun at the huge bear.
With two more shots, Ainalik killed the polar bear.

    As the first woman Chancellor (总理) in German's history, Angela Merkel topped Forbes magazine's list
of "The World's 100 Most Powerful Women" in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. She has even been compared
to Margaret Thatcher and many people called her "Iron Lady".
    Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, on July 17, 1954. Six weeks after she was born, her family
moved to Templin. As a small child, Merkel quickly learned to speak but took longer to walk. "I was a stupid
person when it comes to moving," Merkel said. "A normal person could do something naturally, but I had to
think about it in my mind and practice." As a teenager, she was a top student and graduated from high school
with perfect marks. In 1973, Merkel went to the University of Leipzig, where she studied physics. At 32, she
got her doctor's degree in Physics.
    She stepped into politics in 1989. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her
scientific background and strong will proved very useful. In 2005, she became Germany's Chancellor. She
has been re-elected to a second term as German Chancellor on September27, 2009.
    Through her political career, Merkel's persistence (坚持) and patience helped her a lot. "She's bright and
open-minded," said Hubert Markl. "She is the person who wants to know exactly what is going on, and how
never giving up will influence our society and future."
