31、resent. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge group of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the noisy mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.With no time to waste. Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously
32、 but without knowing how to escape the group. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings (蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee
33、 sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his fathers words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, dont panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home.
34、“Bees dont like smoke,” he thought. “They couldnt get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a
35、small dam used by Mr. Nelson to water his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the wild insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the
36、dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mr. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“Youll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didnt panic!” But Andy did not hear her.

40、merica is Iceberg Water, which is produced from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled w
41、ater is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands（商品的牌子）he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water.” he says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New Yorks city water for more than a century was called the champagne
42、 of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world regarding both taste and purity（纯净）. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-dr
43、ink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share in spite of the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCos Aquafina and Coca-Colas Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and
44、restaurateurs expect large profits. A restaurants usual gains on wine are 100 to 150 percent, while on bottled water they are often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands arent available in stores, most diners dont notice or care.As a result, so
