A level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Written for Learners of English by Alex Raynham.

You are fast asleep, and nothing is happening. Or is it? In fact, your body is hard at work. Your lungs are taking oxygen from the air, and your heart is pumping blood round your body. Millions of pieces of information are travelling backwards and forwards to your brain all the time. Muscles are repairing themselves, and in your lymph nodes special cells are cleaning germs and waste from the body. You may think that nothing is happening, but in the extraordinary machine that is the human body, it is very busy indeed . . .

Quotes

  • Yuliia Vauchokhas quoted7 years ago
    In the evening, you will be asleep, but your body will be hard at work. It will mend the damage that you did to your muscles in today’s match, and do a thousand other things to keep you alive. Your body will make new skin and new blood, your muscles and your hair will grow, and in the eight hours before you wake up, your heart will beat 33,000 times. In the morning, you may hurt all over, but you will be ready to start a new day.
