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 （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 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．

       Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet!

If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars” ．But they’re not real stars．They are man-made satellites．And the biggest of all is the International Space Station（ISS国际空间站）．

From now until July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth, and people can see it just with their eyes．The ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on it．They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there．

When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space．People will stay an study there with many of the things they have at home．Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built．The ISS is the most ambitious（雄心勃勃） and expensive space program ever．Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year．

Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone（垫脚石） for future space explanation．“The ISS will help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth, It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark , an ISS scientist．

China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments．China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it．

The ISS is not finished yet．More than 100 parts need to be put on．Scientists hope it will be finished as soon as possible．After it’s finished, more than 90%of the world’s population will be able to see the Space Station．So keep looking up, and maybe you’ll see it get bigger．

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

       I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time．I know him when he was a student at Harvard University．We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company “Microsoft” and make his own software．But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost all computers now use Microsoft software．The program “Word” is used from Britain to China！

       Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous．They want to stop his success．Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts．The government says that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what’s more, because he fits his new software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their programs．This is not fair．Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and stronger．Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors．

       He is very rich, but he is generous．He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of many children around the world．You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates．
