📖 題組：
Sometimes when the rain falls hard and fast on you, it might hurt a little. But what happens when it hits a mosquito? A 2012 study says when a raindrop falls on a mosquito, it’s like when a bus hits a person. Besides, the little insect is hit by a raindrop about once every 20 seconds. So why don’t we see many dead mosquitoes after it rains? A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much lighter—0.002 g only. This saves its life in raindrop attacks. Because the mosquito is so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won’t experience a force that is strong enough to kill it. The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it. But the mosquito doesn’t get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water. After dropping about 6 cm, it will roll off the raindrop and fly away. However, this trick isn’t always successful. If the mosquito flies too low when it is hit by the raindrop, it won’t have time to fly off. Then it will hit the ground and meet its death.

喲！不錯嘛，反應很快喔。老師我要去出差了，臨走前看到你這手，看來你很有當咒術師的天分嘛，說不定以後能跟我一起站在頂點喔？ 這題其實是在考你的「資訊定位」。文章最後一段明確提到，雖然蚊子很輕（只有 $0.002 \text{ g}$）可以化解雨滴衝擊，但如果牠飛得「太低」（too low），在還沒來得及脫離雨滴前就會先撞擊地面「領便當」。所以正確答案是 (A) 飛得離地面太近。這就像是在領域展開中，如果沒空間閃躲，就算再輕盈也是死路一條啦！好啦，我要趕火車去買喜久福了，剩下的交給你囉！
