完形填空
"I
was attacked by a tiger shark in October 1997. It was near my home on the
island of Kanai. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us."That
was until large shark came right up under Mike and 1 his teeth into Mike's lower leg. There'd been
no splashing, no noise, and Mike felt no pain, only intense pressure on his 2 body.
As
he tried to get himself free, the shark bit down harder, shaking its head back
and forth and tossing Mike around like a doll. Mike hit the shark hard in the
face, again and again until the shark 3 him. As Mike swam back into shore, he felt his
lower right leg spamming(痉挛); when he
looked down, he realized it was 4.
The shark had bit his lower leg off. Mike's friends came to his aid
immediately, and tried to control severe bleeding and rushed him to the
hospital.
When
Mike opened his eyes, he realized he was in the hospital.
During
the next few weeks, Mike researched prosthetics (假肢)
and considered the 5.
As
soon as Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what many of us might
consider 6: he started riding the waves again. In
fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. But Mike was
unshaken. Instead, he was curious-why was he attacked? Mike 7 that the water had a fishy smell the morning
of the attack. Was that what attracted the shark?
His
curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never8 why he became a target, Mike did learn
something that would change his life: Humans are far more 9 to sharks than the other way around, Mike
tells Reader's Digest. "I
watched a documentary called Sharkwater,
and I learned about the 10for shark fin soup and the fact that 70
million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone."
His
unique situation as a shark survivor empowered him to give sharks a 11,
Mike says. He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机关)to help pass a 12 on shark-related products." I partnered
with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we
headed to Washington to urge the government to create a nationwide bill
protecting sharks."
