I was driving home on a very hot afternoon and about to get near a crossing. One of the main traffic lights had gone off, and a police officer was standing in the middle of the busy street to direct(指挥) the traffic. Although he has no hat to keep out of the burning sun, he seemed very happy and was pleased about the job.

I needed to stop at the drugstore(药店) on the corner, and while I was there, I wanted to get some water for the officer. But I had some hesitation(犹豫), since it was uncomfortable for me to interact(交往) with a stranger in this way.

I left, drove halfway home, turned around, went back to the drugstore, got water and then found myself thinking about how to hand it to him in the busy crossing. I knew that he might not be able to take it, but I would like to try.

I drove into the crossing and offered the officer the bottle of water. Though he wasn’t able to take the bottle, he smiled, and said, “Thank you.”

I drove home, feeling good for what I had done. And I even called the police station that afternoon to make sure that they knew what a great job he did that day.

1.The police officer directed the traffic in that heat because one of the main traffic lights didn’t work.

2.The police officer was very angry while he was working.

3.The writer went back to the drugstore and bought some medicine.

4.The writer offered the police officer a bottle of water that day.

5.The writer made a call to the police station at last.

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.
