In July 2019, to celebrate his 45th birthday, Colin Dowler booked off a week from his job as
a maintenance manager for the Vancouver Island Health Authority. He planned to spend two days
on his own, finding a route he would eventually use to climb Mount Doggie Dowler.
His wife Jenifer didn't like the sound of her husband's latest plan. She was used to Dowler
going on adventures by himself, but this time he'd boat to an unknown bay, bike an unpopulated
road , hike through grizzly bear country, and camp overnights alone. There was too much room
for disaster.
The night before his journey Colin packed the necessities. He filled the remaining pockets of
his bag with a handheld GPS, hiking poles, his homemade sausage, and a few other essentials.
Instead of his usual Swiss Army knife, he took a three-inch stainless steel pocket knife given to
him by his dad.
The weather that Sunday, July 28 was nice. Colin pulled his car into the Campbell River port
and quickly launched and set off in his motorboat with a mountain bike on board. About eight
o'clock in the morning, he arrived at Ramsay Arm, and found a spot to tie the boat near a logging
(伐木)camp where he chatted with some logging workers.
One of the workers , Vito, gave him a ride in his truck until the forest got too thick. Colin
took off his bike and backpack from the truck and started his hiking and route searching. In order
not to lose the way back, he marked his trail with blue ribbons (布条).
As he made his seven-kilometer marker, he came around a bend and suddenly put on the
brakes—a dirty grizzly bear stood right in the middle of the narrow road, 30 meters away. Colin
calculated his chances of turning around for a quick escape, but the bear could easily catch up and
stop him before he picked up speed.
Paragraph 1:
The bear suddenly stood up in a threatening way.

【答案解析】
One possible version
Paragraph 1:
The bear suddenly stood up in a threatening way. Meanwhile, Colin threw the sausages in his
backpack towards the bear, hoping the flavor would attract it. Unfortunately, the bear rushed to
him. Colin was pushed to the ground and bit in the left leg. “Ah!” he screamed with the
unbearable pain. Blood flowing out, Colin suddenly remembered the knife in his pocket. He
stabbed the bear’s neck as fast and strong as possible. The bear roared with pain and ran away.
Losing much blood, Colin lost his consciousness afterwards.
Paragraph 2:
After what seemed like hours, Colin came to himself. He found himself surrounded by the
logging workers in the camp. He was being cared for by a doctor. It was Vito who saved Colin.
When he drove back, he spotted the bleeding bear and sensed that something terrible must have
happened. With the blue ribbons leading his way, he finally found Colin. “You are so lucky,
Colin.Without being noticed, you could have been killed for loss of blood. God help those who
help themselves.” said the doctor.
