Lesson44 Through the forest
Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs. Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'

知识笔记:
新词:risk 危险;struggle 抗争;possession 拥有;
词组:rush up to 冲到…跟前;out of breath(运动后)喘不过气来;go through 经历,搜查;the content of …的内容
need doing=need to be done 需要被… doing现在分词表被动“需要被做”,相当need to be done,如:
My watch needs repairing. =My watch needs to be repaired.
练习感悟:
这一刻的词组用法都十分多样化,也有很多意思。向go through这样浅显易懂但是含义丰富的词组真的特别难记住……
但是完形填空喜欢考,没办法。
