26、riders(水黾), whose legs have been more carefully studied.Jian-Lin Liu of the China University of Petroleum in Qingdao and his colleagues thought a mosquitos advantage might also come from the protective wax and microscopic scales(鳞片) coating its legs.

33、se people realize that theyre wasting your time?Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little politeness. But many social agreed standards just dont make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slow
34、er than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect. My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving
