2 . Mosquitoes (蚊子), as most people know, can carry a variety of scary diseases. To prevent mosquitoes from entering your home, equip your windows and doors with insect screens. And ensure all your screens are secure and undamaged and keep entrance doors closed.     1    

If mosquitoes do manage to get inside and get out of control, insect sprays (杀虫喷剂) could solve your problem.     2     Insect sprays must be kept where little kids can’t reach them, and they must also be kept separate from food.

    3     They love bushes (灌木丛) and flower beds where they can hide and make mosquito babies. Mosquitoes like to lay eggs in and around standing water, including any can or bottle left lying about, and even overwatered plants. Make sure there is no standing water around your house.

Another way to keep mosquitoes controlled, especially if you have a water feature or pond, is to encourage dragonflies (蜻蜓) to move in. Dragonflies feed on mosquitoes and flies.     4     They only need a small pool of water. If possible, some aquatic (水生的) plants can make for a better dragonfly environment.

Try to create a barrier around your yard or outdoor sitting area with citronella (香茅油) candles placed about 50 cm apart.     5     Citronella is made from grasses. It works by masking the scents that mosquitoes are attracted to instead of killing them. Though there are no specific scientific studies that support the effectiveness of citronella candles, it has been found that they work moderately well.

A．Mosquitoes rest in dark, wet places.

B．Dragonflies lay their eggs on aquatic plants.

C．One dragonfly can eat hundreds of mosquitoes a day.

D．Before using these products, be sure to follow the instructions.

E．While citronella candles do not kill mosquitoes, they will drive them away.

F．Place the mosquito trap in dark and wet places, so mosquitoes will seek it out.

G．Catching mosquitoes indoors is hard, so the best solution is to keep them out.

3 . When you hear the word “culture”, you may think of nations or societies.     1     What is family culture? It is the combination (结合) of values, expectations, and experiences that describes a family and shapes the way its members get along with each other.

Everyone has a unique culture that determines who they are as a person. Your family culture helps you understand your traditions and explains the reason for your behavior every day. It’s important to you.     2     A deeper sense of unity and togetherness is important for a family culture. The following will help you understand how to uncover your cultural story with your family.

    3     You can find out what your family’s values are and what they stand for by looking at the traditions around those values. You can do this by talking to people you respect in your family or by using some simple Internet searches. Through looking into your family’s history, you will understand the context of their culture.

After this, it’s time to write a detailed description of your family’s culture.     4     So you need to take your time with this step. In this description, you need to give a specific account of your family’s culture, traditions, values, and history.

The last step is to share it with people. You can talk to your family about their culture and let them know that you’ve written down what they are like. You can also talk to friends who know little about your family’s culture.     5
