Height is just one of the features (特征) your genes decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes give you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too. That means your height is genetic. But if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you ?nd them out.

But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潛力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.

It's natural that you're wondering how fast you should grow. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 5 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (the time of life when you change from a child to an adult).

Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm there make a little difference to the height you're at now. How have you been growing up to this height? What other changes may your body be going through?

Don't be surprised if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.

You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the ?rst changes of puberty.

1.What does the underlined word ''genetic'' in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.Passed down from parents. B.Learned from friends.

C.Taught by teachers. D.Exercised by yourself.

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Children grows about 3 cm a year during puberty.

B.Doctors believe your diet and sleep decide your height.

C.Your height most probably depends on how tall your parents are.

D.Boys' age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for girls'.

3.This passage is mainly about ______.

A.why you look like your parents B.how you grow to a certain height

C.how the genes work in your body D.why you grow fast during puberty

Young Inventor Creates Plastic from Fish Scales

Lucy Hughes, a 24-year-old English inventor, has used fish skin and scales(鱗）to create a new kind of plastic that will break down in about six weeks. Her invention won 2019 James Dyson Award, which was created by the famous English inventor James Dyson to encourage students to try to use their creativity to solve problems in the real world.

Lucy Hughes studied how to design products at the University of Sussex in England. As a designer, she knew a lot about how wasteful many products are. Plastic bags, for example, are often used once for a short time and then thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead

The University of Sussex isn't far from the coast. Ms. Hughes spent some time studying the fishing business and the waste from fish that were thrown away. After some tests, she decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. She tried more than 100 different experiments before getting things just right. Ms. Hughes called her finished product "MarinaTex". It solves two problems: the single-use plastic and fish waste.

MarinaTex is clear and feels like plastic, but it's stronger than normal plastic that is of the same thickness. It is also cheap to make since it's made from fish waste. The process of making MarinaTex also doesn't use much energy. Most importantly, MarinaTex doesn't take hundreds of years to break down. On its own, it breaks down in four to six weeks.

For winning the contest, Ms. Hughes will earn f,30, 000. Her school will get f,5, 000. She is looking forward to moving ahead with her idea. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting MarinaTex into use as quickly as possible. She thinks that one of the best uses for MarinaTex will be in some kinds of food packaging.

1.What did Lucy Hughes create?

2.How many experiments did Lucy Hughes try?

3.What problems does MarinaTex solve?

4.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

5.How will Lucy Hughes possibly spend the award money?
