You might think that's what your own skeleton is like: dead, dry, and unchanging. Here's the twist that decoration gets completely wrong. The skeleton inside you right now is alive, busy, and rebuilding itself while you read this sentence. Far from being a lifeless prop, it is one of the most active tissues in your body.  \nThat active tissue is doing something your cardboard decoration never could: it grows and  \nheals. Bones are living organs, laced with blood vessels and nerves, and they are constantly broken down and rebuilt by tiny cells that work like a demolition crew and a construction crew rolling around the clock. When you break an arm, the bone actually knits itself back together, sealing the crack with new tissue. Deep inside the largest bones, soft marrow acts like a factory, pumping out billions of new blood cells every single day. Try getting that from a plastic prop!  \nBecause your skeleton is alive, the number of bones you carry hasn't stayed the same your whole life. A newborn baby starts out with around 270 bones, but an adult ends up with about 206. Where did the missing ones go? They didn't vanish; separate bones simply fused together as the child grew, the way the plates of ababy's skull knit into one solid dome. So the grinning Halloween skeleton, with its neat 206 pieces, is really showing you a grown-up, not a kid.  \nThose 206 bones do far more than hold you upright, and this is where the spooky decoration hides a serious job. Your ribs form a curved cage that shields your heart and lungs like armored bars. Your skull is a helmet of bone locking your brain safely inside, and your spine is a stack of small bones guarding the nerve highway that runs down your back. Without this built-in armor, a simple bump could damage the organs you need to survive. The next time you see cartoon rib bones on a costume, remember they are drawn over the exact spot where a real cage does life-or-death work.  \nProtecting all that hard work is why your skeleton still needs your help today. Bones store most of the body's calcium, so drinking milk or eating leafy greens hands them the raw material they use to rebuild. Exercise matters just as much, because bones respond to being used by growing denser and stronger, like a muscle that answers a challenge. Skip both, and the same living tissue that heals a break can slowly grow thin and fragile over the years. So that cheerful skeleton on the porch is quietly reminding you of something wild: the frame holding you up will keep remaking itself for as long as you feed it and move it.  \nSkeletons: The Bones Inside You  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What common belief about the skeleton does the author set out to correct?\u003Cbr>A.
