27、Global Hotel Study: When to Book & How to Save

28、Where Do Mosquitoes(蚊子)Go in Winter?

Why do mosquitoes ,everywhere in warmer months,disappear completely in winter?【1】Mosquitoes are cold-blooded insects, meaning that they don’t like the cold and prefer temperatures that are 80 degrees .Fahrenheit or more. When the temperature drops, they actually lose their ability to fly and become motionless.

【2】They would never be able to fly far enough. The actual answer to the question is different for male and female mosquitoes. Male mosquitoes? They die. But that’s not just because of the cold. Male mosquitoes have far shorter lifespans(寿命) than females, and they die in autumn.

Female mosquitoes, though, can live through the winter. They hibernate (冬眠). In autumn, the females will go into hollow logs or cracks in the ground and enter this still state.【3】They put off their development, typically for months.

When it warms up again, the females will come out from hibernation. At this point, they’re getting ready to lay their eggs and they need as much blood as possible to help the eggs develop. The females must find a blood meal to provide the protein(蛋白质) needed by their eggs to develop, just in the time, when humans are outdoors in short sleeves enjoying the warming weather.【4】

It actually doesn’t have to be what we humans would consider “cold” to put a mosquito in danger. While these pests live actively when it’s around 80 degrees F, most species can start heading into hibernation when it drops to around 50.【5】This is when female mosquitoes start looking for a place for sleep.

A．The obvious answer is that it’s cold.

B．Now it’s time for male mosquitoes to wake up.

C．It’s only the female mosquitoes that are biting you.

D．Unlike birds,mosquitoes don’t fly south for the winter.

E．Anything below 50 degrees is already too cold for most mosquitoes.

F．They carry on with life only when there is enough water for their needs.

G．They can hibernate for up to six months in freezing or waterless conditions.

29、   Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.

It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.

【1】What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?

A.Joy. B.Politeness.

C.Love. D.Thankfulness.

【2】The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _________.

A.show friendliness to strangers

B.be used to hide true feelings

C.be used in the wrong places

D.show personal habits

【3】What should we do before attempting to “read” people?

A.Figure out what they will do next.

B.Find out about their past experience.

C.Understand their cultural backgrounds.

D.Learn about their relations with others.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Appearance and Figure B.Smiles and Relationships

C.Habits and Emotions D.Facial Expressiveness

30、Every year, many dolphins worldwide are captured（捕获）and kept in small pools, performing for people, especially children. These dolphins are fed fish instead of having to_________them.
