Height is just one of the features your genes(基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide 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. But if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find 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 6 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.

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 amazed 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’11 usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

1.If you want to know how tall you should grow, ________.

A. you should have enough exercise

B. you can ask doctors for help

C. you should take some special medicine

D. you can record your growth during puberty

2.The Chinese for the word “puberty” is ________.

A. 童年時期B. 嬰幼兒時期 C. 習慣養(yǎng)成期D. 生長發(fā)育期

3.This passage is mainly about ________.

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

C. how the genes work in your body D. how your parents’ height influence you

4.After reading this passage, we can explain ________.

A. what healthy diet is B. how good it is to be a doctor

C. how much sleep time we need D. why genes can’t decide everything

5.Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?

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

B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys

C. You may be amazed sometimes when you grow too fast.

D. The features showing the first changes of puberty between boys and girls are different.

任務型閱讀請閱讀下面短文,在短文后表格中的空白處填上適當?shù)膯卧~(注意:每空1個單詞)。

If we agree that education is used to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we should teach children something really useful. Here is what our school should teach.

Politeness is a mark of civilization(文明). The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be achieved by a smile and good manners. Like it or not, our adults work hard for money, but we don't make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.

We're likely to accept something we are told, but that's not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical(批判性的) thinking.

Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food, they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.

All of us are part of society. We have rights and duties. We should understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to communicate with the people around us.

In a word, our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children: “This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it."
