Well, less than a week   22  my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a   23  of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being   24  , but they all proved useless.
Late one   25  in my cousin's home, I couldn't bear the   26  of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I   27  my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being   28   she said, "There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep. "  With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (妒嫉地)   29  her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would   30  on her face.  However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her.

Have you ever listened to young children talking in the playground? They are always boasting. They say things like, “My Dad’s car is bigger than your Dad’s,” and “My Mom is smarter than yours.” They particularly like to boast about their families.
There were three little boys, Harry, Ted and Gavin, who were always boasting. Gavin was the worst. Everything about his family was always the best or the biggest or the most expensive.
Whatever the others said, he could always go on better. One day when they were walking to
school, Harry said, “My father had a bath twice a week,” Ted spoke next. “That’s nothing,” he said. “Having a bath twice a week is dirty. My father has a bath every day, sometimes twice a day.” Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his turn. But what could he say? “This time,” Ted thought, “I’m going to win.” Gavin didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t say that his father had a bath three times a day. That was silly. He walked on in silence. Ted smiled at Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were sure that for once they had beaten Gavin. They reached the school gates. Still Gavin said nothing. “We’ve won,” Ted said to Harry, but he spoke too soon. On the way home, Gavin said, “My Dad is so clean that he doesn’t have to bathe at all.”
小題1:According to the passage, the meaning of the word “boast” is __________.
A．to sing a nice song
B．to talk big

A．The number of times his father had a bath every week.
