3．Mosquitoes see red when they look at your skin，and that brings them in for a bite，according to new research showing that these insects find certain colors more attractive.
The findings mean that what you wear can reduce your chances of being bitten，but there's little you can do in terms of your skin.That' s because everyone's skin gives off a strong red-orange signal that's highly attractive to mosquitoes.
"I used to say there are three major signals that attract mosquitoes：your breath，your sweat and the temperature of your skin，" said senior study author Jeffrey Riffell，a professor of biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. " In this study，we found a fourth signal：the color red，which can be found not only on your clothes，but also in everyone's skin.The shade of your skin doesn't matter；we' re all giving off a strong red signal."
Researchers found that when a common species of mosquito called Aedes aegypti detects carbon dioxide （CO2） from our breath，it then looks for specific colors- including red，orange and black- -to find its meal of blood.But it ignores colors such as green，purple，blue and white.
"Mosquitoes appear to use smell to help them distinguish what is nearby，like a host to bite，" Riffell said. .
"When they detect specific compounds，like CO2 from our breath，that smell stimulates the eyes to scan for specific colors and other visual patterns，which are associated with a potential host，and then they head to them. "
That process is similar to when a person smells something good. " Imagine you' re on a sidewalk and you smell pies，" Riffell said."That' s probably a sign that there' s a bakery nearby，and you might start looking around for it.Here，we started to learn what visual elements（ 要素） mosquitoes are looking for after smelling their own version of a bakery."
Knowing which colors do or don't tempt mosquitoes may lead to better repellents（驅(qū)蟲劑），traps and other methods to prevent mosquitoes.
（1）What does Jeffrey Riffell's study find？
A．Mosquitoes tend to have a preference for bright colors.
B．Mosquito biting has something to do with your clothes.
C．The more you sweat，the less likely you will be bitten by mosquitoes.
D．Your skin color reduces your chances of being bitten by mosquitoes.
（2）Which sense do mosquitoes make use of first in finding a potential target？
A．Hearing.
B．Sight.
C．Smell.
D．Touch.
（3）The underlined word "tempt" in the last paragraph most probably means"".
A．a(chǎn)ppeal to
B．frighten away
C．calm down
D．wipe out
（4）In which section of a newspaper can the text most probably appear？
A．Education.
B．Entertainment.
C．Fashion.
D．Science.組卷：0引用：3難度：0.6

My Own Beat My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door.In my head，I could hear the words my kids kept telling me， "Do it，Mom.You never do anything for yourself.Just follow your dream." I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.
"What are you doing here？You're a single mom of five.You're fifty years old!" My thoughts were fighting with my kids' words.Even so，it was as if I had no control over my feet.As if they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me.
Finally I gathered my courage，stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes，which was my childhood dream.
Wednesday came，and along with it my first drum lesson.I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back.My hands kept fidgeting （動來動去） with the sticks.I kept nervously looking at the time.I tried to slow down my breath.I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums.I turned around to see an older man looking at me.
"Stephanie？I'm Mike，the drum teacher，" he said.
People make me nervous.That's the way I've always been.But Mike had a very calm manner about him，so I relaxed just slightly.Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums，but he complimented me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him.
"You are fine.I see so much potential in you，" he told me.
Soon my thirty-minute lesson is over.Walking back to my car，I felt full of excitement and energy.I thought of how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and watched proudly as they bravely went in front of judges and audiences.
Now it felt scary and amazing at the same time to follow my dream and do something that was purely for my enjoyment，something just for me.Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
I started the car and couldn't wait to go back home to tell my kids about my class.________________
Seeing my devotion and progress，Mike convinced me to play in a concert.________________組卷：6引用：4難度：0.5
