16．Mac was cycling along a road in Canada's Yukon，halfway through a 2，750-mile bike tour to Prudhoe Bay，Alaska．He was carrying a 30-pound camping bag，（41）sohe wasn't moving very fast．Suddenly he heard loud breathing behind him．"Man，that's a big dog!"he thought．He looked to the side，but to his great（42）fear，he saw that it wasn't a dog，but a wolf，running hard to（43）catch up withhim．
Mac's heart jumped．He reached for the（44）sprayfrom his bag．With one hand on th e handle bar，he（45）firedthe spray．A bright red cloud covered the wolf（46）in time，and it fell back，shaking its head．But a minute later it was by his side again．He sprayed a second time，and the wolf fell（47）backagain，but only to quickly restart its（48）attack．
The wolf was getting closer and closer，（49）justa dozen yards away．Mac waved and yelled at passing motorists，but meanwhile（50）rodehard．He knew clearly that he must be（51）carefulnot to slow down．Otherwise，he would become a（52）competitorof the wolf．
Paul and Becky were driving along the same road．From a distance，they spotted what they5（53）assumedwas a dog running after a man on a bike．As they got（54）closer，they realized it was a wolf．
Mac heard a car coming up behind him，and he slowed down．The car veered （改变方向）around the（55）cyclist，then suddenly stopped in front of him．Mac（56）jumpedoff his bike and dashed for the back（57）doorof the car．It was locked．Paul quickly（58）unlockedthe door so as to let Mac in，and the（59）frightenedman dived in，shutting the door behind him．
It was quite a while before Mac became（60）calmand cried out："I thought I was going to die!"And Paul and Becky were glad that they had given a helping hand to people in need．

Chinese traders were recorded as making voyages to the north coast of Australia from the 1750s，but were probably visiting Australia long before．Chinese men arrived in Australia in small numbers after the 1788British settlement as free settlers and criminals．A small population grew rapidly after 1848under a system of indentured（契约的）labour，after China had （41）K its ports to foreign trade in 1842．They worked in rural New South Wales as cooks，farm labourers and etc．
Indentured Chinese（42）G worked in all colonies variously as station hands，plantation workers，miners，on public works，cabinet makers，personal servants and in laundries．Most came from the south-eastern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian．
Due to labour （43）E in West Australia，the Colonial Government organized Chinese contract labour between 1847and 1898，most working as labourers，cooks and gardeners．Many Chinese people came from rural backgrounds and brought with them （44 ）B and water management skills．By 1885，there were 54Chinese market gardens in Sydney．By 1901，67% of New South Wales market gardeners were Chinese．
Gold rushes in Victoria in the 1850s and New South Wales in the 1860s significantly（45）H the population of Chinese immigrants in Australia； about 45，000prospectors arrived in Victoria alone in 1854-58．Numbers continued to increase as gold and other（46）A were discovered in Queensland，Northern Territory and Tasmania．
When mining became less（47）C，many Chinese people worked successfully to provide goods and services such as furniture making，market gardening，fishing and，particularly，store-keeping including the import and export of goods from overseas．Chinese goods，especially tea，silk，vegetables，herbs and other spices were highly sought after items of trade by non-Chinese people．Tea rooms，importing and selling many varieties of tea，were very popular．Chinese silk was turned into（48）G evening wear and cloaks by Chinese tailors and seamstresses．
Today there is a culturally diverse Chinese（49）I in Australia with links to south-eastern China as well as Vietnam and Hong Kong．The Chinese communities in Australia are brought together every year by（50）F of Lunar New Year．
