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 .
I heard a low hum  , the group of bees looked like a heavy smoke. As _ 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   , the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few seconds, I knew my plan didn't work. The bees attacked   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 . 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  the bees till they finally lost interest.

Andrew Engel was puzzled. He was sitting in class, but had no idea what the other students were talking about. He had done his homework, paid attention to lectures, and taken notes, but nothing was familiar. "Everyone is so much cleverer than I am," he thought. It was a strange feeling, as he was always a good student in high school.
He felt even more puzzled a few days later. He got lost on his way to his favorite cinema. What's worse, he began having trouble finding the right words when speaking. He asked, "What's for dinner, Mom?" after he had just eaten. Poor Andrew, he was only 15!
His parents were worried and took Andrew to see a doctor. A brain scan  made it clear: Andrew had a malignant brain tumor  . It was pressing on the part of the brain that makes new memory. He should be operated on as soon as possible. Andrew was _ !
Doctors removed the tumor, but Andrew's memory was still poor. He was told he would probably never go back to school. Andrew was eager to enter a university, but it seemed that his dream wouldn't come true.
"Even though they told me this, I knew I wanted to go back to school," Andrew said. "I wanted to get my memory back."
Andrew began by auditing  an English class at a nearby school. In class, he took notes carefully and read his notes several times a day, then typed them again and again. He studied twelve hours a day, seven days a week. He worked ten times harder than other students. In 2007, at age 29, he graduated from a local university. Six months later, Andrew found a job.

Islamabad, Pakistan, June 22nd---Two mountain climbers surprisingly survived   a fall of over 500 feet on the 25,530-foot mountain in Pakistan, Saturday. The two climbers were climbing an ice-covered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snow-covered ledge  below. "We were lucky that ledge was there," said the climbers, "Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2,000 feet." If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers almost certainly have met their death. "It's a wonder," the climbers said, "that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion  our fall. We're thankful that we survived."
When a reporter asked them if they planned to give up mountain climbing after their narrow escape , the two climbers replied, "Not at all. We'll be going back up there just as soon as we get out of the hospital."

Peter was getting ready to graduate from the college. He loved a beautiful sports car for many months, and knew his father could well afford it for him. He told his father all that he wanted.
As the graduation day was coming near, Peter had got nothing from his father. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. He told his son how proud he was to have such a good son, and told how much he loved him. Then he gave his son a beautiful gift box. He opened the box, finding a lovely book, a Bible , with the young man's name in it. Angrily he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then ran out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years later, Peter was very successful in business. He had a beautiful house and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was old, he thought he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Unfortunately, he was told that his father had died.
When he reached his father's house, he began to take care of his father's papers. And then he found the Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened it and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, from the back of the Bible dropped a car key. That was the key to the sports car he wanted so much. Sudden sadness and regret  filled his heart.
Sometimes we don't realize the good luck that we already have because we don't know the gift box is packed in a different way. The gift box may be the door to happiness. It is just waiting for us to open.
