III. Read the passage and make the correct choice:
Furthermore, the laser beam can also remove bone, and so it is invaluable in ear surgery.
The sounds we hear are carried from the eardrum to the nerves of the ear by a delicate set of small
bones which sometimes solidify, causing deafness. A laser vaporises the bone without touching
any of the surrounding tissue.
Birthmarks, once almost untreatable, are a mass of blood vessels and, being red, they
absorb the laser beam strongly. It seals them so that the mark becomes less conspicuous. The
normal cells on the skin’s surface, which don’t absorb much of the laser beam, act in the healing
and help to conceal the mark.
