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 of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.with no time to waste, andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiouslybut without knowing how to escape the swarm. with a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. as the bees came closer, his panic increased. andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). the last sting had landed him in hospitaland that was only one bee sting! he had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. suddenly, his fathers words came to him. “when you are in a tight situation, dontpanic. 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 dont like smoke, ” he thought. “they couldnt get into the house. ” andy raced towards the nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. andy knew he could not reach the house in time. he estimated that 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 irrigate his vegetable garden. off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. 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 and rang the doorbell. mrs. nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“youll really need that fishing break to help you recover, ” laughed his mother with relief. “thank goodness you didnt panic!” but andy did not hear her. he was dreaming once again of the fish

watching musical moviescyou are interested in the magical worlddyou enjoy reading the eight-book seriesc from the health point of view we are living in an amazing age we are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. a large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. it is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. the expectation of life has increased greatly. but though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. man vs the motor-car! it is a never-ending battle which man is losing. thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. it has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. there is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man s very worst qualities. people who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. they say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. all their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of drivingthe surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. everything is done for his convenience. cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten. it is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. with regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax (不严整) and even the strictest are not strict enough. a rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate. here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. the driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a persons driving ability. present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. speed limits should be required on all roads. governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the usa. all advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. these measures may not sound good enough. but surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. after all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.50. what is the main idea of this passage? a. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists. b. thousands of people the world over are killed each year. c. the laws of some countries about driving are too lax. d. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents. 51. what does the author think of society toward motorists? a. society laughs at the motorists. b.
