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 really hard on the back of the head, causing her to fall to the ground, stunned.
“When I came to, there it was—a 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.
1．How did the police react to what Mrs. Williams said?
A．They accepted her story.
B．They did not believe her.
C．They are taking it seriously.
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 ________.
A．dog
B．cat
C．friend
D．neighbor
3．What is the police view of the situation?
A．The animal must be a wolf.
B．It is nothing new.
C．The reports are not very serious.
D．The animal could be dangerous.
4．In order to find the creature, the police ________.
A．have warned parents to keep the children safe
B．have asked experts for help
C．are looking for more tracks
D．are interviewing visitors to the area
5．From the text we know that the creature was first seen ________.
A．sometime last year
B．a few days ago
C．in recent months
D．a few years ago

Residents and visitors to the West Country have been warned to keep away from the Bodmin area.
Mrs Williams, the wife of a local farmer, described the cat as“just like something out of the jungle. It was jetblack 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 MrsWilliams 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.

A 34-year-old mother has spoken of how she woke up thinking she was 15 years old and living in 1992.
Naomi Jacobs, from Manchester, was convinced she was still a teenager. In her mind, John Major was Prime Minister and George Bush Sr. was running the White House. She also showed how she screamed when a boy appeared and called her “Mum”. Mobile phones and e-mails were puzzling and Google, Facebook and YouTube sounded like made-up words, she said.
Ms. Jacobs, who had no memory of the years, was told by doctors that she had Transient Global Amnesia (TGA). She has now written a book about the experience which happened in 2008.
“I fell asleep in 1992 as a brave, very confident know-it-all-15-year-old, and woke up as a 32-year-old single mum living in a rented house,” Ms. Jacobs said. “The last thing I remember was falling asleep in my bed, dreaming about a boy in my class. When I woke up, I looked in the mirror and had the fright of my life when I saw an old woman with wrinkles staring back at me. Then a little boy appeared and started calling me Mum. That’s when I started to scream. I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t think he was much younger than I was, and I certainly didn’t remember giving birth to him. I began sobbing uncontrollably. I just wanted my mum. I couldn’t get my head around going to bed one night and waking up in a different century.”
TGA is a rare type of amnesia which can occur suddenly, affecting around three people per 100,000 each year. Fortunately, permanent memory loss is rare. Ms. Jacobs’ memory started to return after eight weeks.
Some people who often suffer from migraines (偏头痛) also appear to be more likely to have TGA. The cause of TGA is unknown. Some think that it may be caused by a temporary cut of blood flow to parts of the brain involved in memory.
【小题1】When a little boy came to call her “Mum”, Naomi Jacobs was _____.
| A．excited | B．frightened | C．worried | D．embarrassed |
| A．She was a brave and confident girl. |
| B．She met an old woman with wrinkles. |
| C．George Bush Sr. was elected President. |
| D．She fell asleep dreaming of a boy in her class. |
| A．is quite common | B．is caused by brain injuries |
| C．results in permanent memory loss | D．causes people to lose part of their memory |
| A．Ms. Jacobs’ memory returned to normal now |
| B．Ms. Jacobs often doesn’t remember things |
| C．Ms. Jacobs has not got married yet |
| D．Ms. Jacobs is very young now in deed |
