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(咬) and only the female(雌性的) 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, and 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.

It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Be outgoing(开朗的), get out of the house and do things with other people. It’s easier to make friends when you follow these:
Show people what you are good at. Talk about the things you like and you do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting.
Look people in the eye(正视) when talking with them. That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you’re not interested in them and stop being interested in you.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about yourself. Ask lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.
Make friends with the people you really like, not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly to people. That way, you’ll have a bigger group of people to choose and more chances（机会）for making friends.
