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. Y our skin will quickly heal itself by making new skin cells. How do skin cells. How do skin cells work? First, the cells nea r 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 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.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
