37、in that you can find many mosquitoes near swamps (沼泽), ponds, and lakes.Mosquitoes have an interesting life cycle. The female mosquito bites a person or animal in order to get some blood. She needs this blood before she can lay her eggs. Second, she flies to an area of water and deposits (存放),40 her
38、 eggs in the water. In a few days the eggs open, and the baby mosquitoes, called larvae, come out.

42、ere are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds.No two clouds are ever alike. But it is still possible to group clouds and to give them names.
