Thebroodof bees approached the new fieldofbuddingflowers with care. Thebreezehad changedand there was a strange smell in the air.Somethingbulkywas also here. Several beesquicklybrowsedthe area and noted that the groundwasbulgingin one portion of the field close tothebrinkof a cliff. This was also the area with thelargest amount of flowers, so the queen bee let herworkers make abreakthroughtobeginbrisklygathering nectar.
It was abriefhesitation, but herbreedof bees hadalways been very careful in choosing new lands. Ever since her breach of her mother' scommand and the subsequentbreakupof the bulk of their brood, she was even more careful.Her authority in this new group wasbrittleand, like the fear of abugbearby all of the youngbees, all of the worker bees were watching to see if she would lead well. She had tobudgethercommands and earn their respect.
This was not her day, however. Suddenly a bee came back to report that the groundwasbubblingnear the bulging area. And then a buck sprung out of the forest and ran acrossthe field, killing several of her best workers in the process. As she flew over to the area withbubbles she passed over an oldbrochurefor thebrewerythat was buried beneath. She wouldbear thebruntof the blame for the deaths of the bees for not being aware of the buck, but atleast she could make sure no nectar was harvested from the dangerous bubbling area. Shequickly gathered her brood and moved on. Leadership was not easy, even for a bee.
雅思阅读素材翻译：即使是对一只蜜蜂…
那窝蜜蜂小心翼翼地靠近一块从未去过的田野，那里长满了含苞待放的鲜花。微风已经变了，空气中散发着一种怪味，这里还有个庞然大物。几只蜜蜂迅速吃掉了那里的花粉，发现紧靠悬崖边缘的一块地方正在向外膨胀。那块地上开的花儿也最多，所以蜂后让工蜂们来一次突破，开始很快采集花蜜。
蜜蜂们只做了短暂的迟疑，但是她的这个蜂种选择新地盘时一向很谨慎。 自从蜂后违背母亲的命令，随后大部分蜜蜂分裂以来，她就更加小心了。她在这个新群体中的权威岌岌可危，就像所有小蜜蜂都害怕妖怪一样，所有工蜂都拭目以待，看她是不是能当好这个领导。她必须合理安排、指挥得当才能赢得他们的尊重。
不过，今天她不太走运。突然一只蜜蜂回来报告说，凸起的那块地周围正在冒泡，接着一只雄鹿从森林里跳了出来，它跑过田野，在跑的过程中弄死了她手下几只最优秀的工蜂。她飞过去察看那个冒泡地区，没有注意到地下埋着一本古老的酿酒手册。她将为没有意识到有雄鹿从而导致工蜂丧命的事情负主要责任，至少她可以弄清楚不能从那个危险的冒泡地区采集花蜜。她迅速集合队伍，继续前行。当领导可真不容易，即使是对一只蜜蜂。
