This is the text (if you need help).

Mosquitoes like the smells of some people more than others. They also like some soap smells. Mosquitoes like soap with a flowery smell. Most smells from our body are from soap. Changing our soap could stop mosquitoes biting us. Soap with no smell make us less tasty to mosquitoes.

The researchers tested soap smells on mosquitoes. They put the smells of the soap and of unwashed bodies in two different cups. The mosquitoes liked the cups with the soapy smells best. A researcher said coconut soap keeps mosquitoes away. Mosquitoes are deadly. They kill many people every year.
