―He was Harold.‖ She said. ―He was my only brother. When the Second World War began, Harold was eighteen. I was twelve then, and my sisters were ten and nine‖.

―Harold liked to play with us, and we often quarreled. When we quarreled, we said：We‘re not speaking to you. But before long we were all happy again, and then we said: I‘m speaking now. Are you speaking to me?‖

―When the war broke out, Harold joined the army. A month later, he came to see us. He brought the gun to show us. Then he went miles away to the war.

―I ran to open it. It was Harold! He was an old Harold, a thinner Harold. He looked at me with his two green eyes and smiled. That smile was just the same as before, then he said one word: ?speaking‘‖.

―I didn‘t…I couldn‘t…answer. I just fell into his arms and he dropped his gun. He stayed with us for a month. We played all our old games again. Then he went back to the war, and never came back again. So I wrote the word on the photo.‖

Men sometimes say:―We are better and cleverer than woman. Women never invented things.

We do .‖It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things :the alphabet, machines, rockets, and guns, too. But scientists and archeologists(考古学家 )now agree that women invented one very important thing. It had changed the history. They invented agriculture. Before the invention of agriculture men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals—sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day, too. They collected roots, fruit and grass. Then , one day, more than 10,000years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home in the Middle East. They grew—and the first wheat was born. The idea grew, too . Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children—and the animals. Women liked baby animals: dogs, cows sheep and goats .That idea grew, too. Then their husband did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home. They built villages and cities. Men began civilization—after women invented agriculture.

Last year I was on holiday there. Riding along a road one sunny morning, I found the air

above me suddenly became thick with bees. Although it was hot, I went cold all over. To run away fast seemed the only thing to do, but my horse was frightened, too. He jumped and kicked out in all directions to get rid of the bees that were attacking him, and then threw me to the ground.

The village was about half a mile away. I began to run. But by now I was covered from head to foot with bees. They crawled all over me, stinging (刺) with terrible pain. I tore them away, but made room for others. Each time I opened my lips for breath, more bees entered my mouth. I could hardly breathe.

Then I reached the village. I ran towards a house that was being built. As soon as the men working there saw the bees, they ran for safety at top speed.

My eyes had completely closed. I fell into a pile of something soft. I pushed myself down into this until my head and shoulders were covered. This made bees angry and they began to attack my legs. I struggled but soon became tired out. The bees had won.

At last I was saved by two clever soldiers. They ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They remained with me, I later learned, looking after me for the next three hours until a doctor was found and brought.

（ ）38. When the air suddenly became thick with bees, _________.

A. it became cold B. the writer went cold with fear

C. it was rather cold, though fine D. the horse threw the writer to the ground （ ）39. The writer tore the bees away __________.

A. in order to make room for other bees B. but they flew away slowly C. but other bees took the space again D. in order to let his breath out

（ ）40. When the men building the house saw the bees they ran away quickly __________. A. in order not to be attacked by the bees B. to look for something to drive the bees away C. to help the writer to cover his head and shoulders with soft things D. because they were afraid of the writer （ ）41. The two soldiers ___________.

A. built a thick wall to protect the writer B. surrounded the writer to protect him C. looked for the doctors for three hours
