Nature’s beauty is all around you. Wild flowers shine in bright blues, yellows, and reds. Trees, with unique shaped branches, and leaves, decorate the horizon. Under your feet, pine needles, leaves, and grass give their natural beauty on the earth’s surface. But how many of you take the time to notice all of nature’s wonders?
Hannah Bullen-Ryner is an artist who not only takes the time to “smell the roses”, but she uses them as a medium to craft stunning portraits of birds. Bullen-Ryner, a photographer by trade, began her artistic hobby shortly after her twin daughters were born. The young mother suffered from depression and anxiety. To seek a solution, she turned to nature.
Bullen-Ryner started spending time alone in the woods, foraging for materials: flowers, branches, leaves, and grass. On an impulse (冲动), she started forming a portrait of a bird with the items she had gathered. When her picture was finished, Bullen-Ryner realized that she felt calmand hopeful. The process had been healing and therapeutic (有疗效的).
Bullen-Ryner tells My Modern Met, “Finding the medium of land art has allowed my art and soul to connect to the earth. As a full-time Mama of nearly three-year-old twin girls, and someone who suffers from anxiety, my art is my quiet time, my peace.”
When Bullen-Ryner creates her artwork on the forest floor, she never uses glues or any other material to bond the foraged items. This means that a single breeze is able to carry away or scatter her portrait.
“People often ask me why I don’t make something more permanent or they say it’s such a shame that it’s temporary,” Bullen-Ryner explains. “But for me,” she continues, “it is the short-lived nature of what I do that has become therapy for my soul. I get to put down all my anxieties, my fears, and all the chaos from my brain and turn it into something beautiful to honor Mother Nature. I take some photos and then walk or cycle away, leaving it all behind and feeling calmer, more connected, and truly lighter.”
4. Why did Bullen-Ryner take up her artistic hobby?
A. To kill time. B. To make more profits.
C. To serve as a treatment. D. To entertain her daughters.
5. What does the underlined word “foraging” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Making. B. Answering.
C. Providing. D. Seeking.
6. What do we know about Bullen-Ryner’s artwork?
A. It is well received with customers.
B. It cannot be preserved for a long time.
C It stimulated the local tourism industry.
D. It won her widespread praise domestically.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Bullen-Ryner is grateful to nature.
B. Bullen-Ryner regrets what she has done.
C. Bullen-Ryner is into going to work by bicycle.
D. Bullen-Ryner persuades more people to participate.
C
Tardigrades (水熊虫) with nicknames like “water bear”, may be the toughest animals on Earth. They have evolved to live almost anywhere and survive almost anything. Some tardigrades can escape conditions that would kill most living beings, including extremes far beyond anything found on Earth.
Tardigrades have been around for at least 500 million years or so, possibly sharing a common ancestor with arthropods (节肢动物). Over 1,000 species are known today, including marine, fresh water and terrestrial tardigrades. Tardigrades are near the edge of visibility for most human eyes. A typical tardigrade is about 0.5mm long, and even the largest ones are less than 2 mm in length.
Perhaps the most famous thing about tardigrades is their strange and mysterious durability. Tardigrades are not immortal, but they have a powerful adaptation that allows them to survive for decades in extreme conditions.
To endure environmental stress, tardigrades suspend their metabolism (新陈代谢) through a process called cryptobiosis. They curl up and enter a death-like state known as a tun. Their metabolism slows to 0.01% of normal, and their water content drops to less than 1%. They survive in this state by replacing the water in their cells with a protective sugar called trehalose (海藻糖), which preserves all the cellular machinery until water is available again.
Some tardigrades in a tun can handle pressure as high as 600 megapascals(MPa). That’s nearly 6,000 atmospheres, or 6,000 times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere at sea level, and it’s about six times higher than the pressure found in the planet’s deepest ocean trenches. Even half as much pressure, 300 MPa, would kill most multicellular life and bacteria.
Two tardigrade species flew into low-Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission in 2007, becoming the first animals known to survive direct exposure to space. The 12-day mission proved that exposure to the vacuum (真空) was no problem for them, and the lack of gravity had little effect, either. Some tardigrades even laid eggs during the mission. Research has shown tardigrades can survive roughly 1,000 times more radiation than a human.
Chinese scientists have decoded the key mechanisms that make tardigrades radiation-resistant, which could shed light on how to make human beings stronger against radiation and how to increase the stress tolerance of human cells in the future, according to a study published in the journal Science in October 2024.
8. How does the author introduce the features of tardigrades in Paragraph 2?
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By showing examples. D. By listing figures.
9. Why can tardigrades possibly survive in extreme conditions according to this passage?
A. Because they are immortal.
B. Because they can change extreme conditions.
C. Because they slow down their metabolism.
D. Because they can regain life from death for many times.
10. When tardigrades face pressure or space, what is a possible condition?
A. They can’t handle pressure more than 500 Mpa.
B. They will be killed by the pressure about 300 Mpa.
C. They can only survive indirect exposure to space.
D. They are almost not affected by the lack of gravity.
11. What is the importance of the study of Chinese scientists?
A. Their findings can be applied to help human beings.
B. They focuses on the reproduction of tardigrades
C. Their study can promote to study the dietary habits of tardigrades.
D. They proved tardigrades radiant-resistant.
D
Anyone who has left that spark of joy when a favourite song comes on the radio at just the right moment — or wept along with a singer who is expressing heartache — will understand the emotional resonance (共鸣) of music. But now, a growing body of scientific evidence is actually demonstrating that music can be medicine, too.
In a review of 400 research papers looking into the neurochemistry of music, Daniel Levitin, a psychologist and neuroscientist in Montreal, found that playing and listening to music had clear mental and physical health benefits.
One 2007 study from a team of Spanish researchers found that listening to music before surgery had the same effect in reducing pre-operative anxiety as taking diazepam (安定) — an important finding, as anxiety before a major surgery can affect post-operative pain and recovery time. Another Spanish study, conducted in 2018, found that patients participating in a music-therapy (疗法) programme experienced significant decreases in tiredness, anxiety and breathing difficulties, as well as an increase in feelings of well-being.
The Centre for Music and Medicine in Baltimor is taking music into the “precision medicine” (精准医疗) field. The Center is the brainchild of Dr Alexander Pantelyat, who specialises in movement disorders like Parkinson’s. Applying this kind of treatment to movement disorders is relatively new; previously, it was mainly the field of cancer therapies. Pantelyat explains, “Amazingly there is an understanding in the field of music medicine that there can be tailored interventions using music that a person actually likes, that speaks to them culturally, personally or autobiographically.”
Kerry Devlin, the Centre’s senior music therapist, says there can be folks experiencing intensive symptoms, like a decline in their ability to verbally communicate. Music, she notes, can sometimes help such patients find ways to respond again. “I’ve had the honour of making music with people and all of a sudden they’re coming up with new words. It turns into this beautiful unexpected moment. It’s a powerful thing to witness someone find themselves again for a moment, and a song is the vehicle for that shift.”
12. What can be learnt about music from paragraph 1?
A. It merely brings happiness to people.
B. It can indeed serve as a form of therapy.
C. It is mainly used for entertainment purposes.
D. Its emotional resonance isn’t supported scientifically.
13. How does listening to music affect patients according to researchers?
A. They can soon recover as well as before.
B. They don’t need to take medicine before an operation.
C. They feel less energetic, anxious and breathless.
D. They have their worry greatly reduced before an operation.
14. What is special about music therapy according to Pantelyat?
A. It is a brand new therapy method.
B. It can be flexibly personalized.
C. It applies to movement disorders all along.
D. It plays a main role in cancer treatment.
15. What can be inferred from Kerry Devlin’s words?
A. Everyone can benefit from music.
B. The music moment is powerful.
C. Music may help improve the weakened speech.
D. Songs can guarantee the speech recovery.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Pain is an unavoidable part of life that we all experience at some point in our lives. It comes in various forms: physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual, and it can be annoying and miserable. ___16___ This step-by-step guide will show you how to harness the power of pain for personal growth.
Step 1: Acknowledge Your Pain
The first step towards harnessing the power of pain is acknowledging it. If you deny your pain or pretend that it does not exist, you will never be able to learn from it. You must embrace your pain and accept the hurt and discomfort that comes with it. Do not shy away from your feelings or numb them with alcohol or other distractions.
Step 2: Understand the Source of Your Pain
___17___ Identify what brings about your negative emotions and understand why they do so. Ask yourself questions like “What makes me feel hurt?” “What do I fear losing?” “What are my insecurities?”. By understanding what contributes to our negative emotions, we can begin working on letting go and find meaning in our suffering.
Step 3: Learn from Your Pain
Each painful event we encounter has lessons within them that can help us grow as individuals. ___18___ Make sure you take notes so as not to forget these lessons when times are lighter because fall back to old patterns is very easy to do.
Step 4: ___19___
Holding onto pain can be mentally and physically exhausting. Therefore, it is crucial to seek support from friends, family or a trusted therapist if necessary. Having a support system in place can help you process your pain better and facilitate personal development. ___20___ Others prefer sharing with friends who have gone through similar experiences or seeking community groups.
By following these steps above consistently over time, you will start seeing significant progress in your personal growth while also understanding and appreciating virtually everything that comes your way — both positive and negative — as an opportunity to learn more about yourself.
A. Change your perspective and see challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles.
B. Some prefer professional help through therapy or coaching.
C. However, pain is a powerful tool that can be used for personal development.
D. Remember always to come back to step one, if something has been challenging.
E. It is essential to identify the source of your pain before moving on to any further steps.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was backpacking and planned to climb a volcano called Volcan Baru. At 3,474m, it is the highest peak in the country and one of the only places on Earth from where you can see the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans at the same time. It is an active volcano, but last erupted around 1550.
I set off before sunrise. It was a little cold, so I had pulled on tights under my trousers. I intended to reach the top by midday, and then return before dark to get a lift to my hotel.I’ve always felt safe travelling as a woman on my own, which I’ve done since my 20s. I love the freedom. When I got to the base of the volcano at 7 in the morning,the ranger disagreed to let me go alone, but said OK because an American couple were behind me.
The first part of the climb was beautiful. It was not dry as you might imagine a volcano might be — there were trees and flowers all around, and a dirt road for the farmers who worked around there.I walked for an hour and reached a fair height. The views were impressive, so I stopped to take a photograph.
Suddenly I heard violent barking behind me. I turned and saw two dogs running aggressively (挑衅) towards me. I expected them to stop, but they didn’t. As they got closer, I could see their teeth looked sharp, and that they looked angry. There was nowhere for me to run. I tried to keep calm, but my heart was racing. I’d never been bitten by a dog, and I couldn’t help but fear what would happen. They stopped a dozen feet from where I stood and kept barking. I knew they could move fast, so I didn’t want to try to outrun them.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Terrified, I slowly kept walking, saying, “Come on, good dogs!”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just at this critical moment, a pickup appeared, driven by the ranger.

Hannah Bullen-Ryner is an artist who not only takes the time to “smell the roses”, but she uses them as a medium to craft stunning portraits of birds. Bullen-Ryner, a photographer by trade, began her artistic hobby shortly after her twin daughters were born. The young mother suffered from depression and anxiety. To seek a solution, she turned to nature.
Bullen-Ryner started spending time alone in the woods, foraging for materials: flowers, branches, leaves, and grass. On an impulse (冲动), she started forming a portrait of a bird with the items she had gathered. When her picture was finished, Bullen-Ryner realized that she felt calmand hopeful. The process had been healing and therapeutic (有疗效的).
Bullen-Ryner tells My Modern Met, “Finding the medium of land art has allowed my art and soul to connect to the earth. As a full-time Mama of nearly three-year-old twin girls, and someone who suffers from anxiety, my art is my quiet time, my peace.”
When Bullen-Ryner creates her artwork on the forest floor, she never uses glues or any other material to bond the foraged items. This means that a single breeze is able to carry away or scatter her portrait.
“People often ask me why I don’t make something more permanent or they say it’s such a shame that it’s temporary,” Bullen-Ryner explains. “But for me,” she continues, “it is the short-lived nature of what I do that has become therapy for my soul. I get to put down all my anxieties, my fears, and all the chaos from my brain and turn it into something beautiful to honor Mother Nature. I take some photos and then walk or cycle away, leaving it all behind and feeling calmer, more connected, and truly lighter.”
4. Why did Bullen-Ryner take up her artistic hobby?
A. To kill time. B. To make more profits.
C. To serve as a treatment. D. To entertain her daughters.
5. What does the underlined word “foraging” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Making. B. Answering.
C. Providing. D. Seeking.
6. What do we know about Bullen-Ryner’s artwork?
A. It is well received with customers.
B. It cannot be preserved for a long time.
C. It stimulated the local tourism industry.
D. It won her widespread praise domestically.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Bullen-Ryner is grateful to nature.
B. Bullen-Ryner regrets what she has done.
C. Bullen-Ryner is into going to work by bicycle.
D. Bullen-Ryner persuades more people to participate.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Bullen-Ryner, a photographer by trade, began her artistic hobby shortly after her twin daughters were born. The young mother suffered from depression and anxiety. To seek a solution, she turned to nature. (Bullen-Ryner是一名职业摄影师,在她的双胞胎女儿出生后不久就开始了她的艺术爱好。这位年轻的母亲患有抑郁症和焦虑症。为了寻求解决办法,她转向大自然。)”可知,Bullen-Ryner是一名摄影师,在她双胞胎女儿出生后开始了她的艺术爱好,她患有抑郁症和焦虑症,为了寻求解决的办法,她转向大自然,由此可知,Bullen-Ryner培养艺术爱好是为了治疗。故选C项。

Tardigrades (水熊虫), with nicknames like “water bear”, may be the toughest animals on Earth. They have evolved to live almost anywhere and survive almost anything. Some tardigrades can escape conditions that would kill most living beings, including extremes far beyond anything found on Earth.
Tardigrades have been around for at least 500 million years or so, possibly sharing a common ancestor with arthropods (节肢动物). Over 1,000 species are known today, including marine, fresh water and terrestrial tardigrades. Tardigrades are near the edge of visibility for most human eyes. A typical tardigrade is about 0.5mm long, and even the largest ones are less than 2 mm in length.
Perhaps the most famous thing about tardigrades is their strange and mysterious durability. Tardigrades are not immortal, but they have a powerful adaptation that allows them to survive for decades in extreme conditions.
To endure environmental stress, tardigrades suspend their metabolism (新陈代谢) through a process called cryptobiosis. They curl up and enter a death-like state known as a tun. Their metabolism slows to 0.01% of normal, and their water content drops to less than 1%. They survive in this state by replacing the water in their cells with a protective sugar called trehalose (海藻糖), which preserves all the cellular machinery until water is available again.
Some tardigrades in a tun can handle pressure as high as 600 megapascals(MPa). That’s nearly 6,000 atmospheres, or 6,000 times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere at sea level, and it’s about six times higher than the pressure found in the planet’s deepest ocean trenches. Even half as much pressure, 300 MPa, would kill most multicellular life and bacteria.
Two tardigrade species flew into low-Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission in 2007, becoming the first animals known to survive direct exposure to space. The 12-day mission proved that exposure to the vacuum (真空) was no problem for them, and the lack of gravity had little effect, either. Some tardigrades even laid eggs during the mission. Research has shown tardigrades can survive roughly 1,000 times more radiation than a human.
Chinese scientists have decoded the key mechanisms that make tardigrades radiation-resistant, which could shed light on how to make human beings stronger against radiation and how to increase the stress tolerance of human cells in the future, according to a study published in the journal Science in October 2024.
8. How does the author introduce the features of tardigrades in Paragraph 2?
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By showing examples. D. By listing figures.
9. Why can tardigrades possibly survive in extreme conditions according to this passage?
A. Because they are immortal.
B. Because they can change extreme conditions.
C. Because they slow down their metabolism.
D. Because they can regain life from death for many times.
10. When tardigrades face pressure or space, what is a possible condition?
A. They can’t handle pressure more than 500 Mpa.
B. They will be killed by the pressure about 300 Mpa.
C. They can only survive indirect exposure to space.
D. They are almost not affected by the lack of gravity.
11. What is the importance of the study of Chinese scientists?
A. Their findings can be applied to help human beings.
B. They focuses on the reproduction of tardigrades
C. Their study can promote to study the dietary habits of tardigrades.
D. They proved tardigrades radiant-resistant.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A

D
Anyone who has left that spark of joy when a favourite song comes on the radio at just the right moment — or wept along with a singer who is expressing heartache — will understand the emotional resonance (共鸣) of music. But now, a growing body of scientific evidence is actually demonstrating that music can be medicine, too.
In a review of 400 research papers looking into the neurochemistry of music, Daniel Levitin, a psychologist and neuroscientist in Montreal, found that playing and listening to music had clear mental and physical health benefits.
One 2007 study from a team of Spanish researchers found that listening to music before surgery had the same effect in reducing pre-operative anxiety as taking diazepam (安定) — an important finding, as anxiety before a major surgery can affect post-operative pain and recovery time. Another Spanish study, conducted in 2018, found that patients participating in a music-therapy (疗法) programme experienced significant decreases in tiredness, anxiety and breathing difficulties, as well as an increase in feelings of well-being.
The Centre for Music and Medicine in Baltimor is taking music into the “precision medicine” (精准医疗) field. The Center is the brainchild of Dr Alexander Pantelyat, who specialises in movement disorders like Parkinson’s. Applying this kind of treatment to movement disorders is relatively new; previously, it was mainly the field of cancer therapies. Pantelyat explains, “Amazingly there is an understanding in the field of music medicine that there can be tailored interventions using music that a person actually likes, that speaks to them culturally, personally or autobiographically.”
Kerry Devlin, the Centre’s senior music therapist, says there can be folks experiencing intensive symptoms, like a decline in their ability to verbally communicate. Music, she notes, can sometimes help such patients find ways to respond again. “I’ve had the honour of making music with people and all of a sudden they’re coming up with new words. It turns into this beautiful unexpected moment. It’s a powerful thing to witness someone find themselves again for a moment, and a song is the vehicle for that shift.”
12. What can be learnt about music from paragraph 1?
A. It merely brings happiness to people.
B. It can indeed serve as a form of therapy.
C. It is mainly used for entertainment purposes.
D. Its emotional resonance isn’t supported scientifically.
13. How does listening to music affect patients according to researchers?
A. They can soon recover as well as before.
B. They don’t need to take medicine before an operation.
C. They feel less energetic, anxious and breathless.
D. They have their worry greatly reduced before an operation.
14. What is special about music therapy according to Pantelyat?
A. It is a brand new therapy method.
B. It can be flexibly personalized.
C. It applies to movement disorders all along.
D. It plays a main role in cancer treatment.
15. What can be inferred from Kerry Devlin’s words?
A. Everyone can benefit from music.
B. The music moment is powerful.
C. Music may help improve the weakened speech.
D. Songs can guarantee the speech recovery.

It turns into this beautiful unexpected moment. It’s a powerful thing to witness someone find themselves again for a moment, and a song is the vehicle for that shift.”(该中心的高级音乐治疗师Kerry Devlin说,有些人可能会出现严重的症状,比如口头沟通能力下降。她指出,音乐有时可以帮助这些病人找到重新做出反应的方法。“我很荣幸能和人们一起创作音乐,突然之间他们就想出了新的词。它变成了这个美丽的意想不到的时刻。见证一个人在某一刻重新找回自我是一件很有力量的事情,而一首歌就是这种转变的载体。”)”可知,音乐能帮助改善口头表达能力,故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是创建一个和谐环境的重要性和实现这一目标的多种途径。
36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:有很多方法可以创造这样一个环境。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,There exist...句型中exist的形式根据就近原则来确定,a great many solutions是复数,因此空格处用动词原形,故填exist。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:重要的是,政府在促进社会和谐方面发挥着重要作用。role是名词,用形容词influential来修饰,意为“有影响力的”,故填influential。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:为此,它出台了既促进经济发展又确保企业公平竞争的政策。空处作宾语,名词competition“竞争”符合题意,是不可数名词,故填competition。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:人们普遍认为,健康的竞争可以带来很高的回报,激励个人和公司不断进步。that从句中谓语是can be,空格处用非谓语动词,healthy game和motivate之间是主谓关系,因此用现在分词表主动,故填motivating。
【40题详解】
考查时态和部分倒装。句意:政府不仅鼓励创新,而且还促进国际交流。由it also promotes可知,句子时态是一般现在时,Not only位于句首引起部分倒装,the government是单数,因此人为添加助动词does,并且提前到主语the government前面。故填does。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些活动有助于市民更好地了解不同的文化,从而极大地扩大了他们的视野。空格处用副词dramatically修饰动词expand,dramatically意为“极大地”。故填dramatically。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:人文交流平台越开放,合作越有说服力。platform是可数名词,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,accessible是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填An。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:人文交流平台越开放,合作越有说服力。result in是固定短语,意为“导致”,因此空格处用介词in,故填in。
【44题详解】
考查时态,固定短语和主谓一致。句意:只有当年轻人接触到不同的观点时,他们才能学会欣赏多样性。be exposed to是固定短语,意为“接触”,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,people是复数,因此be动词用are,因此空格处是are exposed。故填are exposed。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:通过这种方式,我们可以建立一个每个人都感到被欣赏和重视的社会。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中不缺主语或宾语,先行词society是地方,因此空格处用关系副词where,故填where。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was backpacking and planned to climb a volcano called Volcan Baru. At 3,474m, it is the highest peak in the country and one of the only places on Earth from where you can see the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans at the same time. It is an active volcano, but last erupted around 1550.
I set off before sunrise. It was a little cold, so I had pulled on tights under my trousers. I intended to reach the top by midday, and then return before dark to get a lift to my hotel.I’ve always felt safe travelling as a woman on my own, which I’ve done since my 20s. I love the freedom. When I got to the base of the volcano at 7 in the morning,the ranger disagreed to let me go alone, but said OK because an American couple were behind me.
The first part of the climb was beautiful. It was not dry as you might imagine a volcano might be — there were trees and flowers all around, and a dirt road for the farmers who worked around there.I walked for an hour and reached a fair height. The views were impressive, so I stopped to take a photograph.
Suddenly I heard violent barking behind me. I turned and saw two dogs running aggressively (挑衅) towards me. I expected them to stop, but they didn’t. As they got closer, I could see their teeth looked sharp, and that they looked angry. There was nowhere for me to run. I tried to keep calm, but my heart was racing. I’d never been bitten by a dog, and I couldn’t help but fear what would happen. They stopped a dozen feet from where I stood and kept barking. I knew they could move fast, so I didn’t want to try to outrun them.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Terrified, I slowly kept walking, saying, “Come on, good dogs!”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just at this critical moment, a pickup appeared, driven by the ranger.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
Terrified, I slowly kept walking, saying, “Come on, good dogs!” Suddenly, one dog dashed up towards me, sinking his teeth into my leg. “Oh, my God, I’m in a dog’s mouth and he’s trying to swallow me,” I thought to myself, with the pain taking my breath away as I felt his teeth in my flesh. I picked up a rock to fight him off, but was nervous that he would go for my neck or that the other one would come to attack me together. Facing these two aggressive dogs,I desperately felt at a loss. Hardly could I step out of the trouble on my own.
Just at this critical moment, a pickup appeared, driven by the ranger: Seeing the state I was in, he immediately stopped his pickup, opened the door, and signaled to me to get in. When we reached the base, he helped me bandage the leg up, earnestly reminding me that safety comes first while travelling. I felt relieved and grateful. And from then on, I travel carefully as well as cautiously. After all, nothing is more precious than life.
