II. 阅读理解。
It was a cold, sunny December day when I set out for a run in Moab, Utah with my dog Taz. I often went for training runs by myself and had done this particular route(路线) before.
About an hour into my run along a remote canyon trail(峡谷小道), I hit a piece of ice and then fell 60 feet into the canyon, landing on a ledge above a sheer drop. I wasn't paralyzed(瘫痪的), but I was in great pain. Taz had managed to find his way back to me, so there must be a way out of the canyon, but I couldn't stand. I dragged myself to the bottom of the canyon. Each try was with great effort. Eventually, it got so dark that I had to stay where I was for the night, next to a puddle(水坑) of water. At night the temperature dropped below freezing. Taz stayed with me, providing some warmth.
The next morning, I couldn't move at all. I tried to stay positive. I was sure somebody would hear me shouting for help. The second night in the canyon seemed even longer and colder. The puddle turned to ice, and I had to crack through it to get water.
On the third day, I felt myself growing weaker. I was coming to accept the fact that I might die. In a last ditch effort, I called Taz over and told him to go and get help. Taz took off through the canyon and I lay there thinking about my family and friends. There was more that I wanted from life.
Taz returned, alone. Then I heard an engine in the distance. I cried with joy. It turned out that Taz had found a search and rescue(营救) team. I was taken to the hospital, where doctors found I had lost almost half the blood in my body. If the rescue team had arrived later, I wouldn't have made it.
Ten years on, I still think about it every day. Taz is still alive−we'll always have a special bond. Realizing you have a second chance at life puts things into perspective(正确看待事物).
