22、Why do mosquitoes buzz (嗡嗡叫) in your ears? They cant help it. Mosquitoes wings make that annoying buzz whenever they fly.Both male and female mosquitoes buzz, but you probably wont notice the noise of the males, because they dont desire your blood. They stay away from your ears, eating nectar (花蜜),

23、while the females come to annoy you.Scientists have discovered that buzzing is to help mosquitoes find suitable mates. Since female mosquitoes are larger, they move their wings more slowly. Males can recognize the distinctive pitch (音高) of the females buzz. Louis M. Roth, who studied yellow fever mo

24、squitoes for the US Army during World War II, noticed that males ignored females whenever the females were quietly resting, but when the females were flying, and therefore buzzing, the males wanted to mate (交配) with them.

25、d what made the sound. Its not actually caused by the wings flapping. Theres an organ at the base of the wings that makes the sound when the wings move.It wasnt until more recently that researchers Gabriella Gibson and Ian Russell discovered that mosquitoes actually change their buzz to “sing” to ea

26、ch other before they mate. When males and females fly nearby, they change the pitch of their buzz to match each other, and if they match well enough, they mate.As scientists learn more about why mosquitoes buzz, they can possibly keep them from mating. Fewer mosquitoes mean fewer mosquito bites, and

27、 fewer diseases being spread. Researcher Lauren Cator suggests that if scientists can make sterile (不生育的) male mosquitoes who “sing” to females just as well as fertile males, the females will choose the sterile males, and wont produce fertile eggs.There are also some myths about the mosquitoes you h

28、ear buzzing in your ears. Some people say that mosquitoes that buzz, dont bite. Indeed, as long as theyre buzzing, theyre flying, so they wont bite you. But once they land, look out.8.

31、an help people _.A. cure some deadly diseasesB. control the mosquito populationC. tell different mosquito species apartD. change the way mosquitoes communicateDEach year around Tomb Sweeping Day, or Qingming Festival, villagers busy themselves picking leaves at tea gardens in southern China.You may

32、have already known this tea tradition, because tea is Chinas favorite drink.

34、ed in the ways that people drink tea.When people think of the UK and tea, they generally have an image of the upper class in their heads. They imagine finely dressed ladies and gentlemen, sitting down with tiny sandwiches, drinking from delicate porcelain (瓷器) cups, with their pinkie fingers raised.

35、This is known as “afternoon tea”. It definitely (绝对地) happens, but it only involves a small minority of the nations people. Most tea is drunk by the working population. These people enjoy tea at their jobs, not while they are at their leisure.Nor do they drink the same kind of tea as the ladies and

36、gentlemen in the posh (豪华的) hotels. Manual workers (体力劳动者) drink what is known as “builders tea”. The tea bag is left to “stew (焖)” in the mug (not cup) for a long time. It will usually be heavily sweetened, perhaps because sugar is a source of energy and people at work always need energy.There are
