四、阅读理解(本题共20分，每小题1分）
A
When we have small cuts in the skin(皮肤），something strange may happen. The cuts are able to heal (痊愈）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 can't 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 18 kg 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 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，don't worry about it. Maybe in a few days，you will be surprised to find it healed.

Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15,1452 in Italy. He is best known as artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important　in modern day life.

Mary was eleven years old and she had something seriously wrong with her nervous system(神经系统）.She was not able to walk. In fact, she could hardly move. Though she believed that she had a good chance to get well again, the doctor said that few people could come back to normal after getting this disease. The little girl didn't give up after she heard this. When she was lying in her hospital bed. she believed that no matter what the doctors said, her going back to school was possible.
She was sent to a health center. Every method was tried and none worked. However, she would not give up. It seemed that nothing could beat her. The doctors all admired her and taught her to imagine that she could make it. Every day Mary would lie there，doing her mental(心理的）exercise carefully.
One day, as she was imagining her legs moving again, it seemed as if a miracle (奇迹）happened： the leg began to move! “Look，what I'm doing！ Look! I can do it ！ I moved ！ ” she cried. At this moment everyone else in the hospital was frightened. They were crying，rushing for safety. And everything was falling. It was an earthquake. But Mary believed that she did it just as she had never doubted that she would get well. And now only a few years later, she's back in school. You see，to such a person who can shake the earth，such a disease is a small problem，isn't it?
