【答案解析】[解析] 18-20 One day a tailor in Duluth, Minnesota, was busy mending an old coat, repairing some holes and a place where it was torn, when he suddenly heard a low, threatening sound at his open door. He looked up and could hardly believe what he saw. He had heard there were bears coming right into the city looking for food, but he couldn' t believe that the brown beast at his door was real. He was terribly frightened. He had no gun in the shop. His only weapon was a pair of scissors. At that moment a car came down the street. The driver saw the bear and was so surprised that he steered his car off the road and onto the sidewalk. Luckily, the bear wag just as frightened by the car as the tailor was by the bear. The bear moved quickly on down the street to look for food elsewhere. The tailor telephoned the police, and the bear was captured before it could harm anyone.
