The cuts are able to heal (疫愈) themselves in a couple of days. How does this happen? 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 tiny and we cant see them with our eyes. Different cells have different uses. Our skin cells are special ones. The cells on the surface (表面) of our skin are old dead cells. New skin cells are right under the surface. These are the living skin cells. They do 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 18kg of skin cells during his or her life. Surface skin cells fit together closely with no gaps between them. When you cut or burn yourself, you can harm (伤害) your skin cells. A small cut will not do much harm. 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 completely. In this way, your skin can grow and get well itself.How amazing the tiny cells are! Next time you have a cut, dont worry about it. Maybe in a few days, you will be surprised to find it healed.（1）The underlined word gaps in the passage means _ in Chinese. A . 突起B . 条纹C . 缝隙D . 差距（2）From the passage, we know that _.

A . Each person can make 18kg of skin cells every day.B . Different cells have different uses in our bodies.C . The skin cells have little work to do in the body.D .

THE WAY OF MAKING CELLS4. （8分）阅读理解 You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies moon. For example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second. （1）You can see the book because _ .
