READING (2p)<br /> Read the following passage and do the exercises below<br /> When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared<br /> of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the<br /> most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people<br /> every year is one that you have probably killed yourself many times: the mosquito.<br /> <br /> While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes<br /> eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They need this blood to<br /> live and produce eggs. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of<br /> saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can<br /> be as minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death.<br /> Because a mosquito can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry diseases from one<br /> person to another very easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes are malaria<br /> and yellow fever. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least<br /> 2 million of these people will die from these diseases.<br /> Many scientists are working on safer and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far, there is no<br /> sure way to protect everyone in the world from their deadly bites. Mosquito nets can be placed over<br /> beds to protect people against being bitten. These nets help people stay safe at night, but they do not<br /> kill any mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain<br /> kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut<br /> down the amount of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work<br /> very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. Even though these sprays kill<br /> mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or animals.<br /> Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more<br /> dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will<br /> find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.<br /> 1.
