    We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They are almost all over the world, and there are more than 2, 500 kinds of them.

No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It's true that the male mosquito doesn't bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay (产) eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn't like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember she chooses you. You're different from the others!

    If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites yon so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body because she put something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itch begins, she has flown away.

And then what happens? Well, after the delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

    As a teenager, I felt I always let people down.

    Once I left home for California with my' friend Penelope. The trip wasn't easy, and there were many times I didn't feel safe. When I returned home, I was different, not so sure of myself.

    I was happy to be home. But then I notice that Penelope, who was staying with us, was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I told my mom, and she replied that Penelope was a lovely girl, but no one could replace (替代) me. I pointed out, "She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been." But my mother made me realize (意识到) that even with my mistakes, I was a loved member of the family who couldn't be replaced. When I became older day by day, I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place.

    Each of us holds a unique(独一无二的 ) place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can't be.
