It is possible to find mosquitoes in almost every part of the world except the places where it is very cold or where it is very dry. During the summer, it is almost certain that you can find mosquitoes near swamps (沼澤), rivers and lakes. Mosquitoes have an interesting life. First, the female mosquito bites a person or animal in order to get some blood. She needs this blood before she can lay her eggs. Second, she flies to a surface of the water and lays her eggs in the water. In a few days, the eggs open and the baby mosquitoes e out. In a short time, they will grow up and fly away. It is interesting to notice that only the female will bite for blood. The male mosquito can only drink plant juices with his mouth.1.

Many people begin their talks by saying: “Isn’t it a nice day!” “Do you think it will rain?” “I think it’s going to snow.” Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But sometimes they don’t agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.” People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to rain, and he doesn’t look for anything else. When friends have a piic, they hope the weather is going to be fine and they can sit eating their lunch under the blue sky. Almost everyone listens to what the weather man says. But he doesn’t tell us what we want, and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still, he is right most of the time.1.
