Reading comprehension questions of wasp nesting

Read the following and answer the question 1-4.

Hornets build nests.

When we reached the first frost, the wasp was falling off the balcony. One by one, they always appear, but they don't die in large numbers at the same time. Sometimes when sweeping the floor, one or two squirms in front of the broom.

The autumn sun shines weakly and warmly, like blood slowly conveyed when the limbs are spread out. The days of autumn are coming to an end, and there seems to be an insurmountable invisible wall ahead. In the autumn wind, when the post horse is transmitting urgent information, it blocks the lives of those who have not done a good job in immigration documents.

Most wasp families have not gone through the formalities of moving to winter. On the balcony, I heard a small buzzing voice saying: Life is wonderful, but only one of us died.

Hearing the sound, I couldn't bear to sweep two bees into the dust and dead leaves, so I picked them up with a broom and gently put them on the windowsill. It clung to the broom tip like a child on a swing, and then landed in a quiet autumn.

A the autumn sunshine covers this little life, just like the stage lights cover a ballet dancer who is about to take a curtain call. Its wings hang down like a skirt, covering its small body transparently, and its body is surprisingly bright and beautiful in the sun.

B that kind of gold is printed with that kind of black stripes, which seems to be a color-matching print by a famous artist. The gold should be the yellow of the late-maturing Golden Queen corn kernels, which is pure gold soaked with sunshine, while the black spots are thick black on moonless nights. These two are printed on it, that is, day and night, life and death, gentleness and severity, infinity and brevity.

It wriggled, wanted to fly, trembled, and then stopped. It seems that I understand the time limit of my life and start to rectify myself. Tidy up your tentacles with two furry little hands, as serious and proud as Lu Bu fiddling with two long flower feathers. What beautiful feathers they are! They touch them again and again, just like a person who loves cleanliness and beauty.

Little guy!

You loved yourself so much before!

But how do we know you? I thought you were a fugitive looking for trouble everywhere! You always have a poisonous arrow hanging from your ass, ready to stab your enemy. I think you are very aggressive. Does the wasp put a needle on its tail? I still remember when I was a child, when I poked a hornet's nest, a few furry little claws gripped the' pores' on my nose and stung it hard ... My nose is still very big.

A wasp is a wasp. In spring, it actually nests in the cracks of the balcony, buzzing, taking off and returning from time to time, and the small balcony suddenly becomes a lively air base, posing a threat to the family. If you want to destroy this base and many "warriors" inside, it is also very easy. At night, you will "suffocate" all the cracks in the wall with a mass of mud. But ... why? After all, it's some little creatures that haven't attacked anyone. Even wasps can't bear to poison the innocent. "In autumn, they will do it themselves." I said.

They fly over our heads and faces every day from spring to summer. People are harmless, bees never take the initiative to attack, and even misunderstandings have never happened. In the calm, I suddenly found that these little guys are very spiritual and considerate. They seem to see that there is no evil in your heart.

Later, the more I watched them, the more I realized their cuteness, unity and busyness, and even regarded observing their activities as my daily pleasure. The golden bee colony seems to be the life hatched from the changing edge of the sun, and the buzzing sound is also like the sound of the summer sun ... these little flying lights!

Then came the cold dew and the first frost.

They struggled on the wall of the season, fell down in front of the custom of limited time, cherished infinitely and were extremely gentle. None of them used the arrow given to them by heaven. I heard these little creatures falling on the balcony one after another say: it's good to be alive, but we only die once.

Beginning of winter tomorrow. Little fellow, please come to the party again next year! (Selected from Zhou Tao Prose People's Literature Publishing House, May 2005, version 1)
