A simple mosquito(蚊子)bite can mean serious illness or death. So we use some chemicals to kill mosquitoes.

But this has a bad influence on the whole ecosystem and your health. Now there’s a new device(装置), which can

keep you and your family mosquito-free:

What are we talking about?

Mosquitron, a brand-new type of bug(虫子)catcher, designed by two German engineers, is perfect for clearing

your home of all annoying and dangerous flying pests!

How does it work?

◆It is easy to set up; plug it in —and away you go!

◆It lures(引诱)the mosquitoes near by using a safe UV light.

◆A fan sucks(吸入)the insects through a one-way trapdoor.

◆Once got in the drying basket, mosquitoes are killed by the fan within 2 minutes.

◆You can simply empty the dead bugs into the trash,without even touching them.

◆No need for batteries or any chemicals.

How much does it cost?

It’s now $ 179.99. It may seem expensive at first, but when you consider most devices don’t work for more

than 10 minutes, this is a pretty good deal. In fact, other products using the same UV technology are priced at over

$ 250! Now you can buy it from our website with 50% off and with free delivery for a limited time by clicking

Note: The device can only be returned or exchanged if it arrives damaged, and you must pay in advance.

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet?” Jessica

asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not

have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a

horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”

“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good. you know.

Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was sent to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these

days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners .” “Gosh, sorry I asked, I think

I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was

ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to

read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as

she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white

bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on

her forehead.She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

“What happened？Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton

Mum,” explained

Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project, I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I

mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her

parents began to laugh madly. “they’re both crazy,” she thought.

Twice every month, Miranda Sam, a 66-year-old Ghanaian, visited the China Traditional Herbal Hospital, a

private herbal facility at Pokuase, a suburb of the Ghanaian capital, for treatment.

“I was squeezing lemons, and when I finished, I could not get up or even move my legs, so I went to the

hospital and did an X-ray examination, but they saw nothing. Meanwhile, I could not walk and was in a

wheelchair,” the retired worker said. Hence Miranda decided to visit the herbal facility. “On two occasions, I had to

do acupuncture(针灸), and I have found great relief. Now I walk unaided, so I keep coming for treatment,” she

said.

As Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining popularity in Ghana, many acupuncture clinics run by

Chinese doctors pop up in the country. However, the China Traditional Herbal Hospital was established by 52-year-

old Ghanaian business owner Bediako, after his fruitful encounter with the effects of TCM in 2012. With the help

of a Chinese lady, Bediako set up a small clinic specializing in TCM. Years on, the facility has subsequently grown

into a bigger herbal hospital. The hospital treats patients with a combination of local and Chinese herbal formulas.

It supports this with the application of traditional Chinese medical methods.

Strokes(中风) account for 1.3 percent of all hospital admissions in Ghana, and 6.3 percent of all hospital

deaths. But Bediako is confident that as more people with these conditions turn to the natural methods of healing,

the pain and death rates would subside. “A gentleman was brought here three weeks ago, who could not sit, stand,

or walk. He was first taken through acupuncture. I observed him on camera 30 minutes later, squatting(蹲),

standing, and walking. You come here with your pain but will leave with a smile. That is our feature,” he said.

The hospital has started a second facility in Ashaiman near the capital, with plans to open other branches

across the country to meet the growing demand.

8. What can we learn from Miranda’s words in Paragraph 2?

A. Her illness is not a bit severe. B. Squeezing lemons is a risky job.

C. She is feeling better now. D. She is unsure about what to do next.
