  No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain: you are familiar to the mosquito, although you probably wish you weren't. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species(种). Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.

  No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately, the mosquito may decide who she loves. She? Yes, she. Do you know that only the female mosquito bites? Well, it's true. And it's not because she is unfriendly; she needs blood to reproduce.

  Do you know how the female mosquito decides whom to bite? She is quite selective, and she chooses her victims(猎物) carefully. First, she uses sensors(感觉器) to find her victim. These sensors are located on her two antennae(触角) and her three pairs of legs. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you are not attractive, she'll reject you for another one. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you are chosen. You are special.

  If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your, flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her long nose tip. Long nose tip? What's that? It's a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito's eyes. It contains six sharp instruments called stylets. She thrusts all six stylets into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood pipe, she'll get a full dinner in about a minute. All this usually takes place so quickly and quietly that you may not have doubted anything is happening.

  Why does a mosquito bite itch(痒)? The itch is not really from the bite. It's from the saliva(口水) the mosquito mixes with your blood to keep it from being blocked as she sucks it up her long nose tip. By the time the itch begins, she has gone.

  And then what happens? Well after her delicious dinner, the mosquito is tired. She just wants to find a place to rest. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot on a leaf, a wall or a stone to quietly lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.

  Most people have sometimes though:"I should like to fly like a bird." Many people have tried!We do not know about all the people who have tried to fly but we know about some of them.

  In about 1020, for example, an Englishman, Oliver, tried to fly with wings like a bird's.He covered more than two hundred meters before he fell to the ground and broke both his arms and legs.But Oliver seemed quite pleased.He said he had made one little mistake.He had forgotten to wear a tail like a bird's.After that he never tried again.

  In 1507,an Italian, named John Damain, tried to fly in Scotland.He wore a pair of wings made from hens' feathers, and jumped from the walls.He fell like a stone to the ground below and broke a leg.

  Damain was very disappointed.He said, "I made a mistake.I used hens' feathers and hens do not often fly.I ought to have used the feathers of a bird that flies.Then I am sure I would have flown." But when he was well again, Damain, like Oliver, never tried once again.

  An Italian scientist, John Borelli, spent much time thinking about flying.Finally, in 1680, he wrote a book having a great many calculations.They proved that men would never be able to fly with wings strapped to their arms.Borelli worked out that a man's arms were not strong enough to support him in the air.

  We know now that he was right but some people took no notice of what Borelli said.In 1742, a Frenchman, although he was an old man, tried to fly across the River Seine, in Paris, with wings strapped to his arms.He jumped from a house beside the river and fell down on to a boat below.He was fortunate and only broke a leg.

  Today men can do much better, though they still cannot fly like birds.They use very light, strong wings called "hang-gliders".One man landed safely after jumping from a balloon at 32,700 feet!Another stayed in the air for 19 hours 36 minutes!They still sometimes hurt themselves.
