新概念第三册笔记第一课：a puma at largePuma:美洲狮（学名：Pumaconcolor）又称美洲金猫、山狮、银狮等，是栖息于北美洲、中美洲、南美洲的食肉目猫科动物，分类上属美洲金猫属。

体形和花豹相仿，但外观上没有花纹且头骨较小。

美洲狮擅于跳跃，主要以野生动物兔、羊、鹿为食，在饥饿时也会盗食家畜家禽，在北美某些区域已逐渐与人类生活圈靠近，因此在受到人类威胁时会袭击人类。

美洲狮属于《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录I中的濒危动物，某些亚种如东部美洲狮已经灭绝。

Lesson 1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.Language pointsPay attention: The points below are not covered by the mp3.
