    If you’re looking for the thrill of a lifetime，running with the bull、should be near the top of your list！Thousands of tourists flock to Spain each year to run with the bulls，but it isn’t exactly a walk in the park—it’s actually an extremely dangerous sport！

    The running of the bulls takes place every July during the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona，Spain, Traditionally，the public has an opportunity to run with the bulls down a half 一mile stretch of cobbled（用圆石头砌路的）road, which ends in a bull fighting ring. It happens at 8 AM every morning for a week straight and each race lash two to three minutes. The run started in the mid 1800s when officials would take the bulls from the edge of town to the bull ring（圆形场地）in the center of the city. Before long, people started to join the bulls in the run.

    There are plenty of risks going into this event. Participating in the run means risking a pile一up，which can lead to injury or death of both the bulls and the runners. With so many people running in a panic，it can be complete chaos out there. As part of the preparation for the annual event，barricades（路障）are placed on each side of the street so people can easily exit the race.

You should never try to catch a bull’s attention because a bull runs down the path as fast as possible until it reaches its destination. If it is bothered，it will separate from the rest of the bulls and that could spell trouble！Other ways you can avoid injury and chaos are to avoid touching the bulls，run behind them，and make sure not to bother the drovers who lead the bulls to the arena（斗牛场）．

It was a half-mile walk from our small house to the beach road, where the      16     would be waiting for us. But that morning Janet was much worse. She couldn’t make     17      walk. And I couldn’t carry her. The path to the beach was steep and narrow and     18     at the water’s edge.

I was a stranger far from home. I didn’t know     19     to turn for help. But I needed it badly. I hurried down to the beach and I found help. Four fishermen were about to go out for their morning  20  . I told them about my sick little sister. Could they help me get her down the     21    ? I hardly got the words out of my mouth     22     they dragged their boat back onto the sand. They climbed the hill with me. One looked at Janet and they    23     their heads. They talked softly to one another. “  24       sick to sit in a chair,” one said.

“Better carry her      25    in bed,” said another.

An iron cot（儿童床）    26     along the cliff ! I was frightened. How could they do it?    27     the men told me not to worry. “Truly easy, truly     28    ,” they said.

They tied a rope to each leg of the cot. Each of them threw a rope     29     his shoulder and held the end in one hand. I understood what they meant to do.     30     they carried the cot down the path, they would use the ropes to keep the cot     31    . But what if one of the men slipped and lost his balance? What would happen to him ― to the others ― to     32    ? The men just smiled at my alarm. “That     33     will make us even more careful,” they said.

The men went down the path. Every    34     was a careful one. Always the cot was level, with never a bump. When they reached the beach road, they quietly lifted Janet into the taxi.     35    , they stretched her out on the back seat.

We made the morning train for Tokyo. And there an ambulance was waiting to take Janet to the hospital. The doctor told me that I had got my little girl there just in time. Janet would be all right soon.
