   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.

举一反三
    I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
    Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth.”
    I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter
    They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
    As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
    I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
    My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
    Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-- a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.
    Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
