Then I did the same for Counsel, and we continued to swim near each other. But we were in serious trouble. The crew（船员）might not have noti
18、ced our disappearance. And if they had, they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken. Counsel thought of all this, and calmly made his plans. We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible, because we had no other hope of safety. I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us
19、 would not be tired out at the same time. This was how we did it:While one of us lay on his back, quite still, with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）, the other would swim and push him along. We changed every ten minutes or so. In this way we could swim for hours, perhaps till daylight. The cr

The surface of the skin is dead(like the hair and the nails), but it is made from a living layer(层)just under the surface. The outside dead layers wear off(磨损)al
25、l the time, with new ones replacing them, and the body forms a totally new skin every three weeks. The skin protects the body from the outside world and it passes information from the outside. It helps to keep water in the body and to keep the body at the same temperature. Becteria(细菌)cant get in th
26、rough the skin unless it is damaged. If the weather is cold, the blood vessels(血管)in the skin squeeze down, or contract(收缩), so that as little blood as possible comes near the surface. This means that less warmth is lost to the outside. This makes the skin look pale, or even “blue”. At the same time
27、, the hairs on the skin are pulled upright by tiny muscles. When it is hot, the blood vessels expand(扩大), or get wider again, to allow plenty of blood to run near the surface of the skin. This helps the body to lose heat, and the skin may look red. At the same time, the sweat glands(汗腺)produce more
28、sweat, which cools the skin. If your skin has ever been numb(麻木的), you will realize how important the feeling from the skin is. Nerves(神经)in the skin are sensitive(敏感的)to heat and cold, sharpness, hardness and softness, wetness and dryness and pain. If one is not able to feel these things, which can
29、 act as warnings, he is likely to be burned, cut or hurt in other ways. The colour of the skin depends on special colour cells(细胞). These are just below the top layers of the skin. They are needed as protection from some harmful ray of the sun. The stronger the sun is, the more important it is to ha
30、ve a dark skin. People with pale skins may “tan”(晒黑)in the sun. This happens when the body produces extra colour cells in the skin for protection. In the sun, the skin produces a vitamin(vitamin D)which is needed for strong bones. 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Our hair and nai
31、ls are dead like the surface of the skin. B. There is skin all over our body. C. The skin of our bodies will be completely different in three weeks. D.
