We know the mosquito very well．Mosquitoes fly everywhere．They can be found almost all over the world , and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them．

       No one likes the mosquito．But the mosquito may decide that she loves you, she? Yes, she．It’s true that male mosquito doesn’t bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs．She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite．If she likes what she finds, she bites．But if she doesn’t like your blood ,she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood．Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen．You’re different from the others!

       If the mosquito likes you ,she lands on your body without letting you know．She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different．After she bites, you will have an itch （癢）on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood．By the time the itching begins, she has flown away．

       And then what happens? Well ,after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired．She just went to find a place to have a good rest．There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs．

A young man worked very hard on his lessons. He was too busy to have a rest. One day he found that he couldn't fall asleep at night. As he became ill, he couldn't go to sleep. When he went to bed, he closed his eyes and tried to sleep. But he always failed.
After a few days he decided to see a doctor.
"I just can't go to sleep at night. What should I do?" he asked.
"I have a suggestion," said the doctor. "You can try to count numbers. When you count to one thousand, you will be asleep. I am sure of it. "
The next day the man returned to the doctor's office.
"Well," said the doctor. "How are you today? Did you try my suggestion?"
The man still looked tired. "Yes," he said. "I tried to count one, two, three.. , up to one thousand. But when I counted to five hundred and sixty--nine, I began to feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some tea so that I could go on counting up to one thousand. But then I still couldn't fall asleep. "
