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（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.

Planet Earth Welcome to Planet Earth Museum, a museum where you can learn some interesting facts about the world we live in. “1.. Who knows, maybe you’ll see them all one day! Where shall we go first, children? “Forests!”
Forests are home to over half of the world’s animals and plants. Trees clean the air and produce oxygen (O2) for us to breathe. Every day we throw away hundreds of trees in paper and card and we destroy more than 36 football fields of forests.
2.. They transfer (传递) the sun’s heat into the air and move it around the world. A lot of the rubbish we produce on land pollutes the oceans. Turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and die when they eat them.
At opposite ends of the world, the Arctic and Antarctic are freezing cold lands. 3.. The fuel we use for energy makes the earth warmer. As it gets warmer, the ice melts (融化) and the sea rises. The land disappears.
Rivers collect rain water and carry it to the oceans. 4., so it is safe for us to drink. Farms and factories pollute the rivers with pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemicals. Every day we flush (冲掉) 50L of dirty water down the toilet.
