Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.

He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm(群) of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and seemed to be heading angrily towards him.

With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was allergic to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital —and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”

On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but he knew he could not reach the house in time. The bees would catch up with him soon.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to water his vegetable garden. He got off his bike and into the cool water, disappearing below the surface. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope(坡) and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.

“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.

Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?

A. He was riding to school.

B. He was listening to a strange sound.

C. He was going fishing with his father.

D. He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip.

How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?

A. He asked Mr. Nelson for help. B. He hid himself under the water.

C. He rushed into the Nelson house. D. He rode off in the opposite direction.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage?

A. They crowded like a black cloud. B. They shocked and terrified Andy.

C. They made Andy stay in hospital. D. They were coming towards Andy.

Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from the bees?

A. No pains, no gains. B. Once bitten, twice shy.

C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. One’s mind works faster in an emergency.

One August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp（黄蜂） nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (sting, sting, stung蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.

“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”

Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”

She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.

As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.

Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike（话筒）, trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.

Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock（休克）. Just then he reached for the radio mike again.

“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”

“Five-ten,” the center replied.

Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.

At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.

It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.

A. there are huge noises B. strangers are approaching

C. the air is filled with food smell D. the hottest season comes around

Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.

A. have no after-effects B. suffer from sharper pain

C. surely lose his life D. become more sensitive

Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.

A. he was unable to speak clearly B. his radio equipment was poor

C. he was in a state of shock D. no one was on duty

Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Allen, A Helpless Driver B. Wasps, Bloody Killers

C. A Race Against Death D. War Against Wasps

The Fun They Had in School

On the page headed May l7，2517，Margie wrote in her diary，“Today Tommy found a real book!”

It was a very old book covered with dust．Margie’s grandfather once said that long ago all stories were printed on paper

“What is it about?” asked Margie

“School”

“School? What’s there to write about school? I hate school．”

Margie hated school now more than ever．The electric teacher had bee giving her drill after drill in geography and she had been doing worse and worse until her mother had finally sent for someone to fix the teacher

The man came with a whole box of tools．He turned off the elecuicity，and started to repair the teacher．There was a momtor that showed questions，and a hole where Margie had to put compositions and test papers．The electric teacher marked the paper quickly．

Margie asked Tommy，“Why would anyone write about school?”

“Because it’s the school they bad hundreds of years ago”

Margie read the book for a while，then said，“Anyway，they had a teacher？”

“Yes，but it was a man”

“A man? How could a man be a teacher?”

“Well，he just told the kids things and gave them homework”

“A man isn’t smart enough．”

“Sure he is．My father knows as much as my teacher’’

“But I wouldn’t want a strange in my house to teach me．”Margie argued

Tommy laughed．“The teacher didn’t live in the house．They had a special building and all the kids went there”

“And all the kids learnt the same thing?”

“Sure，if they were the same age”

They weren’t even half-finished when Margle’s mother called．“Margfa! School!”

Margie went into the school next to her bedroom，and the electric teacher was waiting far her them．It was the same way every day except Saturday and Sunday

The monitor lit up，and it said，“Please put yesterday’s homework in the proper hole”

Margie sighed and threw a dirty sock at the machine．She was thinking about the old days．All the kids from the whole neighborhood came to the school，Iaughing and shouting in the yard．They could even help one another with the homework

And the teachers were people!

How happy they were in the old days，Margie thought．

1．When did the story in the passage take place?

2．Wny did Margie hate school?

3．How did Margie feel when she heard that teachers of hundreds of years ago were people instead

of machines?

4．How did kids in Margie’s time receive education?
