3.The Brown BearMy wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,"Dad!The bear is right behind us!"An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back----the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so,this was a fight I had to win:I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back toward the forest,before returning for another attack-----The first time I felf panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I'm proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy.But Lola Walter,a 13-year-old gymnast,is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills,Lola(36)trainsfor four hours a day,five days a week.At the state championships in March,she finished seventh out of 16girls.
That's especially impressive,(37)sinceshe is legally blind,born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly.She often sees double and can't (38)tell how far away things are.
When she was little,her mom(39)noticedthat even though she couldn't see(40)well,she was fearless.So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three.She loved the (41)sportright away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more (42)differentfor her than for some of her tournaments,she has never quit.She doesn't let her (43)condition stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport.Her biggest (44)challengeis the balance beam.Because she has double vision,she often sees to beams.She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine.Sometimes she even closes her eyes."You have to (45)trustyour mind that it'll take you where you want to go."says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast,one must be brave.The beam is probably the most(46)fearfulfor anyone because it's four inches wide.At the state competition,Lola didn't fall (47)offthe beam.In fact,she got an 8.1out of 10-her highest score yet.
Lola doesn't want to be (48)treateddifferently from the other girls on her team.At the competitions,the judges don't know about her vision (49)problems_.She doesn't tell them,because she doesn't think they need to know.Her mom is amazed by her (50)positiveattitude.
Lola never thinks about (51)quitting.She is presently at level 7while the highest is level 10in gymnastics.Her
(52)rangeis to reach level 9.She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she's learned to
other kids (53)whenshe grew up.
Lola is (54)proudof all her hard work and success.She says it's helped her overcome problems in her life
outside gymnastics,too.Her(55)advicefor others is"just believe yourself".
