A website has discovered some answers to this question. Researchers from the site Medical News Today (MNT) looked into what parts of us mosquitoes like. They found out some interesting things. A professor of public health, Dr Jagdish Khubchandani, told MNT what he thought mosquitoes liked. He said: "Studies suggest that pregnant women, people with high body temperature and sweat and those with darker skin could be bigger targets." Blood type could be another factor. Studies found that mosquitoes are not so attracted to people with blood group A. However, they find people with blood group O a little tastier. Medical News Today reported that there are over 3,500 species of mosquitoes worldwide. Only a fraction of these bite people. Only the females of the species bite. They need blood to provide protein for their eggs. Mosquito bites are an annoyance for most people. The bite becomes itchy and can swell. However, millions of people have died from the diseases mosquitoes spread. These include malaria, dengue fever, West Nile virus, yellow fever and Zika, among others. To avoid getting bitten, it is best to cover your skin with clothing. It is also a good idea to use insect repellent (day and night, indoors and outdoors) on any exposed skin. Sleeping under a mosquito net can also reduce the chances of being bitten. (Adapted from Question 39: What is the passage mainly about? A. The reasons why mosquitoes bite some people more than others.
4. does the promise to make amends and not repeat the offense. In the absence of these, why should the wife trust her husband not to do it again? Apologies can be equally powerful in day-to-day situations at work. One company manager told me that they were magic bullets. When he admitted to subordinates that he had made a mistake and then expressed remorse, they not only forgave him but became even more loyal. Conversely, when I asked people what most frustrated them in their work lives, co-workers refusing to admit fault was a frequent answer. Given the importance of taking responsibility for the results of our actions, it is distressing when the litigious nature of our society prevents us from doing so. We are, for example, instructed by lawyers and automobile insurance companies never to admit fault – or say we’re sorry – following automobile accidents, since this may put us in a precarious legal position. The stance makes sense but takes a toll spiritually. (Adapted from Contrite Makes Right in Civilization Magazine by Deborah Tannen) Question 44: Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Communication Strategies for Therapeutic Relationships B. The Mighty “Sorry” C. Speech Acts in Dispute Resolution D.
