That image shows up on Halloween decorations, greeting cards, and jack-o'-lantern stickers every October. But here's the twist: nearly everything scary you've heard about bats is wrong. The real animal is one of the most helpful and hardworking creatures on the planet, and it deserves a much better reputation than the one Halloween gave it.  \nThat better reputation starts with a fact no other mammal can claim. Bats are the only mammals that truly fly, flapping their way through the night on wings made of skin stretched between long, thin finger bones. Can you imagine your own hand turned into a wing? That is basically what a bat's wing is. There are more than 1,400 different kinds of bats, ranging from tiny ones that could sit in your palm to fruit bats with wingspans wider than an adult's outstretched arms.  \nThose wide-open eyes on a bat's face might make you think it needs sharp vision to hunt, but many bats barely rely on sight at all. Instead, they use echolocation, a built-in sonar system that lets them \"see\" with sound. A bat sends out high-pitched squeaks, too high for human ears, and listens for the echoes that bounce back off objects around it. From those echoes, its brain builds a map of the darkness, pinpointing a moth in midair with astonishing accuracy. This is why the old belief that bats are blind is simply false; they are not blind, and they navigate better in the dark than you ever could.  \nThat skill at snatching insects out of the air makes bats a farmer's best friend. A single little brown bat can eat hundreds of mosquitoes and other insects in one hour, and a whole colony devours millions ina night. By eating pests that would otherwise munch on crops, bats save farmers in the United States billions of dollars a year in pest control, according to scientists who study them. Fruit-eating bats do a different job just as important: they pollinate flowers and scatter seeds as they feed, helping plants like bananas, mangoes, and agave grow. Without these winged gardeners, some of your favorite foods would be a lot harder to find.  \nKnowing all this, why do bats still get cast as Halloween villains? Long ago, people who saw them fly at dusk near homes and churches spun stories that they were creatures of darkness, and those tales stuck for centuries. The truth is far kinder: bats avoid people whenever they can, and they have no interest in your hair. Today scientists work to protect them from diseases and habitat loss, because a world with fewer bats means more insect pests and fewer pollinated plants. So the next time a paper bat dangles from your classroom ceiling, remember it stands for an animal that quietly protects your food, your farms, and your summer evenings.  \nBats: Halloween's Misunderstood Mammals Name:  \n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the author's main point about bats in this passage?\u003Cbr>A.
