X. Read and translate the short text without any dictionary:
Fact of life:
Robert Hooke described his observations of the cork cells: “I counted several lines of these pores, and found that there were usually about three-score of these small Cells placed end-ways in the eighteenth part of an inch in length, whence I concluded that there must be near eleven hundred of them, or somewhat more than a thousand in length of an inch and therefore in a square inch above a Million, or 1 166 400, and in a Cubick Inch, above twelve hundred million, or 1 259 712 000, a thing almost incredible, did not our Microscope assure us of it by ocular demonstration.
XI. Food for thought: Suggest why red blood cells appear to contradict the cell theory.
