Read on, and you will find out the secret.Every living thing on the earth is made up of cells(细胞). Cells grow and make new cells. Most cells are very small and we can't see them with our eyes. Different cells have different uses. Our skin cells are special ones. The cells on the outside of our skin are old dead cells. New skin cells are right under the outside. These are the living skin cells. They work for our bodies. They help protect our bodies and heal cuts.Our bodies make skin cells all the time. As the old cells fall off, new cells grow in the same place. Each person makes about 18 kg of skin cells during his or her life. Outside skin cells fit together closely with no gaps(缝隙) between them. When you cut yourself, you can harm your skin cells. A small cut will not be harmful. Your skin will quickly heal itself by making new skin cells. How do skin cells work? First, the cells near the cut get bigger and move into the gap. Next, these bigger cells meet in the middle. They form a new layer(层) of skin cells. Finally, new cells will grow until the gap disappears. In this way, your skin can grow and get well itself. How amazing the small cells are! Next time you have a cut, don't worry about it. Maybe in a few days, you will be surprised to find it healed.35. From the passage, we know that cells______.A. are large and we can see them with our eyesB. can heal few cuts themselvesC. are in everything on the earthD. can grow and make new cells36.

The best title for this passage should be______.A. How Skin Cells Heal CutsB. The Importance of SkinC. How to Protect Our FingersD. The Importance of CellsCMarch 16th is World Sleep Day. This year’s slogan (标语) is ―Breathe Easily, Sleep Well‖. Its aim is to celebrate the advantage of good and healthy sleep.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.These sleeping problems greatly affect people’s lives. Experts have shown that not having enough sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的).Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold. 39.

There is no place here for you.‖Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣) for help who was also passing by in a beautiful boat. But Vanity said with a cold voice, ―No, I can’t take you with me. My boat will get dirty with your wet feet.‖Sadness passed by after some time. Again, Love asked for help. But it was useless. ―No, I can’t take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be alone.‖When Happiness passed by a few minutes later, Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that he didn’t hear Love calling to him.Love was becoming restless and hopeless. Just then somebody called out, ―Come, Love! I will take you with me.‖ Love did not know who was so kind, but jumped into the boat happily.After getting off the boat, Love met Knowledge. Love asked, ―Knowledge, do you know who was so kind to give me a lift when no one else wished to help?‖Knowledge smiled, ―Oh, that was Time.‖―Time?‖ asked Love. ―But why did Time help me?‖ Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, ―Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.‖43.
