Mosquitoes bite, suck your blood, make you feel itchy, and even spread a lot of diseases. While you might
think about living in a mosquito-free world, killing them all would be terrible for the environment. The best we
can hope for is to repel them and kill them only within our backyards and homes.
If you're serious about killing mosquitoes, you'll need to use different kinds of ways. First, you need to
understand the difference between repelling mosquitoes and killing them. Repellents make a place (like your
home or your skin) less attractive to mosquitoes, but don't kill them. So, smoke or tea tree oil may keep the
insects away, but won't get rid of them in the long run. Some mosquitoes need water to breed, so one of the
most effective ways of kill them is to take away open containers with water inside. It kills the larvae living in
them before they get a chance to grow. Another solution is to bring in animals that eat larvae and adult
mosquitoes. Some fish eat mosquito larvae. Dragonflies, frogs and spiders all eat mosquitoes.
In fact, some mosquitoes are important food for other animals. Killing them all could do harm to the
environment. If you really want to live in a world without mosquitoes, your best choice is Iceland
itchy 癢的; spread 散播; disease 疾病; disastrous 災難的;
repel 驅趕; attractive 有吸引力的; breed 繁殖; effective 有效的;
container 容器; harm 傷害
( ) 4. Which is true about mosquitoes?
(A) Mosquitoes can bite people and suck people’s blood, but they can’t spread diseases.
(B) Using repellents is the most effective way to kill mosquitoes.
(C) Adding some tea tree oil in the water helps to get rid of the mosquitoes forever.
(D) The only place on earth without mosquitoes is Iceland.
( ) 5. According to the reading, which animal below eats mosquitoes?
(A) (B) (C) (D)
( ) 6. What CAN’T we know from the reading?
(A) Killing all animals helps the mosquitoes to breed.
(B) It helps to kill mosquitoes by throwing away open containers with water.
(C) Larvae are baby mosquitoes that grow in the water.
(D) It is better not to kill all the mosquitoes. Keeping a balance is good to the environment.

It is over a month since the big earthquakes in Turkey - with officials putting the number of deaths in Turkey
alone at 45,968. Those who survived face an uncertain future. One of their most serious problems is finding
somewhere safe to live. At least 1.5 million people are now homeless, and no one knows how long it will take to
find them proper shelter.
The officials say almost two million people have now left the earthquake zone. Some are living with friends
or loved ones elsewhere in the country. Flights and trains out of the place are free to those who want to leave. But
in the town of Samandag, Songul is clear that she and her family aren't going anywhere. "This is very important
for us. We will stay here. This is our home, our nest. Everything we have is here. We are not going to leave."
Right now, the whole family is living in three tents just a few steps away from their damaged home. They sleep
4
and eat there, sharing food cooked on a small camping stove. There's no proper toilet, although they've fixed one
from the bathroom. They've even created a small shower area. But it's all very basic, and the lack of space and
privacy makes them uncomfortable. It's been an agonizing month for Songul. Seventeen of their relatives were
killed in the earthquake. She said, "There's always the fear. What will happen next? We just don't know."
officials 官方; survive 倖存; uncertain 不確定的; shelter

Dear Mom and Dad,
I know I am the oldest kid in the family. I struggled for a long time, and I decided to tell you the truth. It’s OK
that you want me to finish my homework by myself. It’s OK that you ask me to go to school by myself. It’s even
OK that you ask me to make dinner by myself. However, I really hate it when you ask me to take Debby and
Mina to the park. They never listen to me. They climb up rocks in the park and make loud noises. They play with
water in the park and make themselves wet. It’s really annoying to be with them. I give you my words that I will
take good care of them at home, but could you please don’t make me go out with them next time?
