I heard the bees long before I saw them.

It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped.

I heard a low hum(嗡嗡声)，which was growing louder. From a distance, the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.

All I could do was cover my face with hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat very still, the bees would think I was just another rock.

After a few minutes, I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.

But it wasn’t so easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening, but I had no choice.

I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool, but I don’t remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe, and the water felt wonderful.

But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.

Years ago, I lived in a house in a large city.  The house next door was only a few meters away from   【小题1】 .  Through the window, I could often see a woman who I  【小题2】never met doing some reading in the house every afternoon.
Several months went by, I began to notice that her window was dirty.  Everything
was not very clear   【小题3】 the dirty window.  I wondered   【小题4】 the woman didn’t wash
her window, it really looked terrible.
One bright morning, I decided to clean my house,   【小题5】  washing the window
inside.   Late in the afternoon when 1 finished all the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.  How surprising! I found that the  【小题6】 window was actually so clean that she could be   【小题7】  clearly sitting by the window. That was quite an important lesson for me.  How often had I looked at  【小题8】   through my own shortcomings  (缺点) !
