We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. No one likes mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male(雄性) mosquito doesn’t bite! Only the female（雌性）mosquito bites because she needs blood（血）to lay eggs. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.

If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly 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. When the itch begins, she has flown away. And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was so excited about it for the first two days that she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”

Li Yu liked it, too. “Group members first discuss,” he said, “and then present to the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” This was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes to improve students’ abilities to study by themselves and work in groups.” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.

However, the reform has demanded more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.

“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful.” added Zhang Ming.
