People may not like very hot weather, but neither do mosquitoes. Osaka Prefecture wanted to find out more about these insects, so they set traps in about 15 different places. They counted the mosquitoes for 10 years. In 2004, the number of mosquitoes caught in each trap was over 30. By 2013, the number had gone down to about 20. Why did that happen? Maybe it was because the summers are getting hotter. Very hot weather dries up the wet places that mosquitoes need to lay eggs. The high temperatures may also kill the mosquitoes. Do you think there are fewer mosquitoes this year? (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

When I got home last night, I turned on the TV and was happy to see Japan in the lead. Kagawa had scored the first goal of the game on a penalty kick, so the score was 1-0. Then, with 6 minutes left in the first half, Colombia scored on a free kick. Quintero kicked the ball low, and it went under the wall of players when they jumped. Kawashima, the Japanese goalie, caught the ball, but it was already inside the goal. In the second half, Japan got a goal with Osako’s header from Honda’s corner kick. That put Japan ahead again, and they won 2-1. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
