C. Read the passage about “Your Lungs” below and answer the questions below
completely.
Your Lungs
You do something about twenty times a minute without even thinking
about it – you breathe! In fact, every day you take about twenty-thousand breaths. The
organs of your body that allow you to breathe are called your lungs. You have two of
them that work together, located in your chest inside the rib cage.
The main purpose of your lungs is to breathe in good air and breathe out
bad air. The good air contains oxygen, which your body needs. The bad air is a gas called
carbon dioxide, which your body cannot use.
Each adult lung is about the size of football. When they are healthy, your
lungs feel a little like a sponge and are pinkish-gray. When lungs are damaged by
smoking, they can appear gray or have black spots on them.
One disease that is very common in children involves the lungs. Asthma
narrows the breathing tubes, making it harder to breathe. As many as nine million kids in
the United States have asthma.
You probably already know that your lungs are important when you swim.
But you may not know this – your lungs are the only part of your body that can float on
water!
