He seems an unlikely hero, especially one that would save two children from the mouth of a wild lion.
Shen, also known as Ian, an exchange student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University,Canada, was then enjoying the afternoon on a beach near Ucluelet. With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar’s two grandchildren.
Silently and suddenly a lion appeared out of nowhere.
By the time Shen and Hagar saw the cat, believed to be young but still weighing 30 to 35 kilograms, it had the head of 18-month-old Julien in its mouth.
“At first, my brain(大脑)was nothing but blank,” Shen said. “But I still believed I could get the child back.”
Instinctively(本能地), the young man gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and try to drive the animal off with the bag in his hands.
On hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the small child ang Hagar rushed to take his grandson from the lion’s mouth. But the animal didn’t run, instead turning toward 3-year-old Iris, who was standing beside Shen.
“If Ian had not been there, shouting at the lion, holding his ground, the lion would certainly have hurt Iris while I was trying to take care of Julien. I could not have fought off the lion alone without Ian’s help.” Hagar said later.
With Iris in his arms, Shen and Hagar chased the animal back into the woods. Julien was flown to hospital in nearby Vancouver immediately and has since made a complete recovery(康复).
Following the accident, the story appeared on Canadian TV networks in every big city, and in many small town newspapers across the country. The government planned to give Shen a Canada Bravery Award, but it couldn’t reach him because he had returned to China.

Watching news about the environment on TV can make people feeel terrible. The problems seem so big that it’s difficult to imagine how persons can do anything about them. Rebecca Hosking, however, thought differently.
Rebecca is a wilflife camerawoman and she was filming a documentary for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean when she saw something that made her cry — quite a lot of dead birds that had died because they had eaten some plastic that is thrown into the sea each year. Beaches that used to be beautiful were covered with plastic toys, bottles, pens — every plastic thing you can think of.
Rebecca decided she had to do something. Back at home she thought about what she could do to help deal with the problem of throwaway plastic. In her home town of Modbury, she asked local shop owners to stop using plastic bags in their shops.
Plastic bags are used everywhere in the UK. The numbers are amazing. The UK uses are nearly 17,000,000,000 plastic bags each year. And the bags can take a very long time to break down because they are chemical(化学物)rather than natural, so each year the sea and the environment become more and more polluted.
To Rebecca’s surprise, the shop owners agreed and Modbury became the first plastic bag free town in the UK. Instead, shops offered cotton bags or paper bags. Other towns around the UK followed Modbury’s example and are becoming plastic bag free. It won’t deal with all of the world’s environment problems but it shows that there is something we can do and one person can make a big change with a strong enough decision.
48. Rebecca cried one day when she .
A. found the ocean was polluted B. was thrown into the water
C. saw quite a lot of dead birds D. was listening to BBC news
49. According to the passage, Rebecca .
A. comes from a town in the UK B. has never used plastic bags

50 The passage tells us that .
A. people usually feel terrible while watching TV
B. we can do something about environment peoblems
C. plastic bags are used in all towns except Modbury
D. the shop owners were against Rebecca’s idea

A. The Dead Birds B. The Town of Modbury
C. The Bag Lady D. The Plastic Bags
