I was telling my boy Sonny the story of The tortoise and the hare (龟兔赛跑).In the end I said, “Sonny, remember: Be slow and steady (稳定的），and you will win the race (赛跑). Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?” Sonny opened his eyes widely and said, “Do you mean next time when I join the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?’’

I was in a great surprise, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!” “He must have already wished that,” Sonny said. “Otherwise how could he be so foolish to challenge the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.” “He didn’t have such a wish,” I continued. “He won the race by pushing on steadily.” Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare didn’t happen to fall asleep, the tortoise would never win the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he would never win the race. That’s for sure.” I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

Do you know what the skin (皮肤) is? Skin is the name for the special things on our bodies. It comes in colors such as black, brown, white, yellow and red. However, the color of the skin is not important. All skin has one important job — to keep heat (热) inside our bodies. With this, your skin will be able to help keep you and your body safe for a long time.

Skin has two parts. The first part we can see is called the epidermis (表皮). It is very thin and it is kind of dead skin. The body makes the epidermis all the time. People lose about 20kg of dead skin in their lives.

The inside part of skin is called the dermis (真皮).The skin in this part is living. The dermis is very important because it makes new skin for the epidermis. At the same time, the dermis has lots of small glands (腺体). These glands are important to us because they can make some useful things to help to keep our skin soft. Also, the dermis is important because it lets the body lose some of its heat. In this way, the body does not get too hot.

So next time you must look after your skin because it helps you a lot.

()41. Which of the following do people always lose according to the passage?

A. The epidermis. B. The dermis.

C. The glands. D. The hair.

()42. Why is the dermis important to our body?

A. Because it’s the living part.

B. Because it’s the inside part of skin.

C. Because it has different kinds of colors.

D. Because it makes new skin for the epidermis.

()43. What can we know from the passage?

A. The epidermis is not important to our body.

B. The epidermis comes in only yellow, black and white.

C. The dermis keeps on making new skin for the epidermis.

D. All skin keeps the heat inside our body, and doesn91 let it lose.

()44. How many effects (影响) does the dermis have?

1. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
