They did it to protect（保護(hù)）the gate of   2   home. Just then the rain came down. I ran into the house. As I watched out of the window, I thought, “What a pity! The ants will all die in   3   a heavy rain.”

4   the rain stopped, I went out to see them. To my   5  , they were still alive and as happy as usual. The earth at the gate of their home kept the rain   6   and they were   7   again moving the earth away. It was very late, but they were   8  working hard.
