My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It's funny now but it wasn't at the time.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train , so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop― that was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I went back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses and worn clothes, and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he'd started to eat my chocolate !

Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble 7 and really I was rather uneasy about him , I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper , tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't dare to start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt piore angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the last piece. " And I got it.

The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, "This woman's crazy!" Everyone stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red―as red as his hair―when I realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that he'd been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper. (       )1. The writer telling the story .

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 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 (癢) 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 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.

"Oh,dear!It's a quarter past eight already. ” I was afraid that I might be late for school,so I jumped out of bed quickly and washed my face. Then I hurried to the bus stop without breakfast.
