五、阅读理解
Jason Chin's new book, The Universe in You, is popular with children. Here is a conversation with Chin.
Why did you start writing the book?
It started as a question: "How small is the smallest thing we know of?" That was followed by more questions about small things, so I started doing research. Out of that research came this book.
______A______
The first thing I did was find out what I'd put in the book because there are lots of small things out there. Then I studied each of them. Talking to scientists about them was also necessary.
What is your favorite part of the research?
One of the scientists I talked to is from the University of Vermont. She took me on a tour of her lab(实验室), and I got to see the microscopes(显微镜) and learn how they work. It was fantastic.
Can you tell me what the title of the book means?
The closer you look at the universe(宇宙), the more things look the same. People are made of cells(细胞), just like every other living thing. There are different kinds of things that make up the universe, which means we all have connection with the universe. I find that really interesting. I do hope readers will understand it. Also, they should understand how unique(独一无二的) they are.
