39、. I ll start with some facts at a glance: WHERE ALASKA IS:Way the hell far from you. Beyond Mars. HOW YOU GET THERE:You sit in a variety of airplanes for most of your adult life. WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU:Bears. I am quite serious about this. Although Alaska is now an official U

40、nited States with modem conveniences such as rental cars and frozen yogurt, it also contains a large number of admitted bears, striding freely about the landscape, and nobody seems to be the least bit alarmed about this. In fact, the Alaskans seem to be pround of it. You walk into a hotel or departm

41、ent store, and the first thing you see is a glass case containing a stuffed bear the size of a real one. Our hotel had two of these. It was what we travel writers call “a two-bear hotel“. Both bears were standing on their hind legs and striking a pose that said:“Welcome to Alaska! Im going to tear y

46、glers? （ A） Because they can attack without warning just like bears. （ B） Because they are used to give warnings to visitors about bears. （ C） Because they are as funny as stuffed bears. （ D） Because they are used to show the oddness of the stuffed bears. 47 What s the author s impression of Alaska?
