　　听力原文：
　　 [1] New York City police captured a cow on the loose in Prospect Park on Tuesday after the animal became an attraction for tourists while walking along the streets and enjoying the park facilit ies. The confused creature and camera-holding humans stared at each other through a fence for several minutes. At other times the cow wandered around the 526-acre park and the artifcial grass feld normally used for human sporting events. Offcers used soccer goals to fence the animal in. However, the cow then moved through one of the nets, knocking down a police offcer in the process. Police eventually trapped the cow between two vehicles parked on either side ofa baseball feld's bench area.An offcer then shot an arrow to put it to sleep. Then offcers waited for the drug to take effect. After it fell asleep they loaded the cow into a horse trailer.It was not clear where the cow came from or how it got lost. [2] Police turned it over to the animal control department after they caught it.
