One afternoon I was cycling and saw a person about 250 meters away in front of me.
I could tell he was cycling a little slower than me and I decided to try to catch up with him. I had about a kilometer to go on the road before turning off (拐弯). I started cycling faster and faster. Two minutes later, I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the speed.
Finally, I caught up with him and passed by. I felt so good.“I beat him!”But after I passed him, I found that I had missed my turn. I had cycled six blocks past it! So I had to go all the way back.
Isn’t that what happens in life when we race with others, trying to show that we’re more successful? We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths.
The problem with unhealthy competition is that it’ s a never-ending cycle. There will always be somebody in front of you in one way or another. What you should do is just run your own race and wish others well.

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 hill toward the water, my boyfriend John started to shout, and then jumped into the water. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped(被困住).
I heard a low hum (嗡嗡声), the group of bees looked like a heavy smoke. As it got closer, I knew it was in fact a lot of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was to cover my face with my hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat still (不动) , the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few seconds, I knew my plan didn't work. The bees attacked (袭击) me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.
But it wasn't so easy. The only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I didn’t want to do that at first because my face would be unprotected(不受保护). The noise of bees made me worried, but I could do nothing.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool. I was just so happy to be free from the pain.
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 (避免）the bees till they finally lost interest.
