Mosquitos (蚊子)can cause us serious diseases. Until now. we've used different things to keep them away. But none of these ways actually protect us for more than 20 minutes! Now there is a new way to keep mosquitos away from you ever again without using any chemicals at all.
What is it all about?
It's called the Mosquitron—a new mosquito catcher or killer. It's very easy to control and it can protect your home from all the mosquitos!
How does it work?
Instead of trying to keep the mosquitos away, it attracts them, then catches them and finally kills them! Basically, it will attract the mosquitos into the Mosquitron, with a completely harmless UV-PT producing light. Next to the UV-PT light is a powerful reverse (反 向的)fan that sucks (吸)the mosquitos through a one-way trapdoor. Once they are trapped in the drying basket« they are dried to death by the fan in 2 minutes.
How much does it cost?
You'd be surprised to find that you can get it right now for just $89. It might seem expensive at first. However, when you compare it with other products which need regular, expensive repair and don't work for more than 10 minutes, it is pretty cheap. In fact, some products using the same UV technology are priced over $250! to buy a mosquitron?
That's very easy. You can only buy it from the supplier's website.

【推荐1】On the first day of school, all the excited students walked into the room expecting to start: everyone but David.
He had had a hard summer. His father was in jail (监狱). His mother had to work nights, so she wasn't at home in the evening and was sleeping when he woke up.
As the weeks went on, David slowly gave up doing his homework and staying on task, and began to get into more troubles out on the playground. He was going downhill quickly. It was clear that he was looking for any kind of attention—even if it was negative. I also knew that he was not getting much support at home. If David was going to pass the fifth grade, I need to come up with a plan.
One day, David and I sat in the library and just talked. I told him that I knew that he was not an “F” student and that I was not going to let him fail. It was my job to teach him, but his job was to try. We talked about home and what he did after school. He knew what I expected him to do and that I respected him as a person. As a result, his behavior in my room improved. From then on David and I periodically sat in the library and just talked. He told me that his goal was to pass the fifth grade and not be suspended (停学). Finally, the last day of school arrived. David had met his goal.
During Teacher Appreciation (感谢) Week, the students had written about any teacher they wanted. In my booklet, on a wrinkled piece of paper, it reads. “You never give up on me and focus on the silver lining because you know I am smart. And for that I not only appreciate you, but admire you”, signed David. After reading that, I sat down with tears rolling down my face. We, as teachers, never know when or how we affect our students. But it's the note like this that makes all we do worthwhile.
1. According to the passage, we know the writer is_____________.A.talented | B.brainless | C.patient | D.selfish |
A.Because his father was put into prison. |
B.Because he was disappointed to the society. |
C.Because he was laughed at by classmates. |
D.Because he wanted to attract attention. |
A.Teachers appreciate being appreciated, for teacher appreciation is their highest award. —William Prince |
B.Teach the children so that it will not be necessary to teach the adults.—Abraham Lincoln |
C.What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.—Karl Menninger |

【推荐1】If you are looking for something extraordinary on your vacation beyond Canada, we have some recommendations to you.
Paris
From its Haussmann-designed boulevards to the winding backstreets of the Marais and Montmartre, Paris' history as a center of culture, ideas and arresting architecture remains vivid.

Throw in sights from the Louvre to Notre Dame, Les Invalides to the Eiffel Tower, and you're looking at the world's most picture-perfect city.
Rome
Rome is home to some of the world's most breathtaking architectural sites and Renaissance art. It's impossible not to feel the pull of the past when spending time in the Italian capital.

Brave the queues and wonder at St Peter's and the Sistine Chapel, while learning about how the Vatican and Christianity came to take power.
Hong Kong
The views of the towering skyscrapers(摩天大楼) of Hong Kong Island from Victoria Harbor are typical, while the Mid-Level Escalators make exploring the central district's bars, restaurants and backstreets a breeze. Across the water, Kowloon's neon(霓虹灯) streets are more lively and reward brave tourists with an up-close view of the real Hong Kong. Beyond are some of the greenest hiking spaces and emptiest beaches in Asia.
Hawaii
Thick forests. Vast sandy bays. And that gorgeous ocean. Hawaii is undoubtedly some kind of paradise. Unlike any other US state, thanks to its location far out in the Pacific, this is a place for adventurers, sun seekers and dreamers.
