First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
How did Mrs. Sterling get her bag back?
Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men.
【the risk she was taking, the risk 做宾语所以省略关系词】
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.
【1 and 本来需要连接并列句，但是这里有了一个逗号隔开了，说明插入语来了。插入语可以不看去掉。2 start to do 和 start doing意思完全一样。3 begin to do = begin doing】
Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them.
【1 get angry 变得生气；so/such…that…太…所以。that she ran after them 结果状语从句】
She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run.
【1 out of breath 上气不接下气；2 continue to do继续做某事】
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.
【1 catch up with 追赶上；2 go through 浏览，翻看 3 the contents of …的东西 2 run straight at…笔直的跑过去】
The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away.
【such…that…太…所以…结果状语从句】
‘The strap needs mending,’ said Mrs. Sterling later, ‘but they did not steal anything.’
【1 need doing sth 需要做某事。doing 表示被动的含义。包的带子不能主动修的，自己被动修】
