12．At the moment，nearly 20percent of schools in the US have their own vegetable gardens that are planted and cared for by students．Next year，more schools will have gardens and more US kids will enjoy the （61）pleasure of growing their own food．
Much of the growing interest in planting （62）comes from Michelle Obama's‘Let's Move'project，which （63）started last year．The First Lady wants to （64）improve children's nutrition （营养） in the US．The kids were more interested in eating the vegetables from their gardens than in eating
（65）fast food．This gave the First Lady an idea：As so many US kids have breakfast and lunch at school，the food should be （66）healthy and good．Why not let kids grow the food for their （67）own dining hall？Mrs．Obama's plan gives money to schools to plant their own gardens，and more school gardens will （68）appear soon．
Students also use the（69）information from their gardens to study science and math，and they
（70）paint pictures of their gardens in art class．Many students （71）choose to work in the garden，but not to play on the ground during their noon break．Sound like fun？Ask your teacher if there's （72）room for a garden at your school，too．

11．When we have small cuts in the skin，something strange may happen．The cuts are able to heal （痊愈） themselves in several 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 small 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 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 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 small 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．
