Regrettably, mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的)wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases, including Den

19、gue, yellow fever and malaria. Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite. Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas, which all mammals breathe ou

20、t. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby. But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects, with even smaller brains, use thre

21、e senses to find a blood meal. Michael Dickinsons team used plumesa material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume. Then, the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and wa

22、lls of the tunnel. Mr Dickinson said, at first, the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tun

23、nel. But the moment they get a hit of CO 2 , they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点).” This suggested to the researchers that a mosquitos sense of smell is more important in the search for food.

So much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read it. In this age there is mor

27、e information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading. The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Dont say the word in your mind, just look at it

28、 and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading. The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with

29、 your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface such as a table or a desk. Next, you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It is hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will help your

30、 understanding of the text. You need something to guide your eyes while reading. You should use your finger. Move your finger smoothly across the page. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your finger as a guide. This will increase your speed. The third step is pract
