　　A 57 - year - old woman was hurt yesterday by “a huge black cat”, as she was walking her two dogs near Bodmin Moor in the West Country. Local police are investigating (调查) her story, which follows a lot of similar reports in the area in recent months. Residents and visitors to the West Country have been warned to avoid the Bodmin area.

　　Mrs Williams, the wife of a local farmer, described the cat as “just like something out of the jungle. It was jet - black all over with a white - tipped tail. It had short legs but was very strong.” More details were not available, as the creature moved too fast and Mrs Williams only managed to take a short look at it. The incident happened when Mrs Williams was taking her dogs for a walk, as she always does on Sunday morning. Suddenly something struck her really hard on the back of the head, causing her to fall to the ground, stunned.

　　“When I came to, there it wasa huge black cat staring down at me with its glittering, green eyes. I got the fright of my life, I can tell you,” said Mrs Williams. “It was a horrifying experience,” she told reporters, as she sipped a cup of tea to calm her down, still visibly shaken. “If it hadn't been for my Labrador, it would have savaged me to death. It was about six foot long, the size of a large Alsatian.” Mrs Williams' description matches that of other eye witnesses (目击者) in incidents involving strange creatures in various parts of the country.

　　Exmoor police have been trying to track the “Beast of Bodmin”, as it's called, since it was first spotted some years ago, but they have so far come up with nothing except for a few very large animal tracks and a trail of dead sheep. Claims that the creature was sighted in a school playground recently are being investigated. “Our policy is to look into all reports of this sort, however ridiculous,” said Chief Constable (警察局长) John Witmoor.

　　Investigations are still going on and local police have brought in zoologists to assist them in the hunt for the Beast of Bodmin. Meanwhile, local people and visitors to the area have been warned not to walk alone on the moor. Parents have been advised to keep their children at a safe distance from the area. Motorists have also been asked to keep an eye out for anything unusual and to report sightings to the police immediately.

D．They say they have heard it all before.

2．According to the text, we know that Labrador is the name of the writer's ________.
