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(产卵). She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite (咬) . 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 (痒) 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 wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

“What's the name of our neighbor? I can't remember right now.”Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this? Usually, we think older people's memories become bad because their brains get weak. But a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a different idea.
“The human brain works slower in old age,” said lead scientist Michael Ramscar, “but only because they have stored more information over time.”
The findings are based on a series of computer simulations（模拟） of learning and memory.
Scientist let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer “reads”only so much, its performance on cognitive（ 认知） tests is similar of a young adult. But if the computer learned the experiences we might encounter（经历） over a lifetime, its perfection is similar to that of an older adult.
Often it was slower because increased“experience” had caused the computer 's database（数据库） to grow, giving it more data to process - which takes time. This is similar to old people.
Imagine a person knows two people's birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person? The basic idea is that“The larger the library you have in your head, the longer it usually takes to find a particular word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for The New York Times, wrote in an article about the study.
1.The writer uses a question at the beginning to________.
A.encourage readers to think of their neighbors
B.make readers interested in the topic
C.prove that older people have bad memories
D.explain why older people like asking questions
2.How did the scientists do their research?
A.They interviewed old people
B.They asked both young and old people the same questions
C.They used computers to simulate human learning and memory
D.They followed the experiences of a group of old people
3.According to the research, why do old people forget other people's names easily?
A.Because they have a very poor memory
B.Because they are too old to remember things
C.Because their brains become weaker over time
D.Because there is too much information in their brains
4.What does the underlined word“similar”in the passage mean in Chinese?
A.协调的 B.相似的 C.奇怪的 D.迥异的
5.What would be the best title for the story?
A.Why do old people have poor memories?
B.Why do old people's brains sore more information?
C.What is the human brain's processing ability?
D.Is it better to be old or young?
