2 . This past October, I took an early morning hike in a Valley. Knowing that bears are _______ throughout the area and not wanting to _______ one, I yelled out, “Hey, bear!” every 30 seconds.
About three miles in, I _______ into a meadow(牧场) and yelled again. A few more steps and I _______ a brown bear on the trail at the upper _______ of the meadow. When she saw me, she ran up the trail. But then she stopped, turned, and _______ straight for me. I yelled so she would know I was human and hopefully turn back. No_______ luck.
I wrapped my arms around the back of my neck for _______. She was on top of me, biting my arms, shoulders, and backpack. The force of each _______ was like a sledgehammer(大锤) with teeth. After what felt like hours, she disappeared.
________, I carefully picked myself up. I was able to walk, so I went back down the ________ toward my truck. Despite bleeding wounds, I knew I would ________ and thanked God for getting me through this.
About five minutes down the trail, the bear reappeared. I was lucky after the first ________, but could I survive a second?
Again I protected the back of my neck. She bit my shoulder and arms. My hand instantly went ________, and the wrist and fingers were limp (无力的) and unusable. I knew I couldn’t ________, so I huddled (蜷缩), motionless.
Suddenly she stopped. There was dead silence ________ the sound of her heavy ________ and sniffing. I could smell the terrible odor(气味) she gave off. She stood there for 30 seconds . Then she was gone.
I tried to peek out(偷看), but my eyes were full of blood. I knew that if she ________ a third time, I’d be dead, so I ________ the blood from one eye and looked around. No bear. I stood up, moved quickly, got into my truck and drove to the hospital.
