    Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes (基因) decide.In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you with a height that usually lands somewhere between the heights of your parents. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too. If you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.

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

Maybe you’re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There’s no right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about two inches (six centimeters) a year between age three and the time when they start puberty.

Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the year. Two centimeters here and two inches there are not nearly as important as the height you’re at now, how you’ve been (growing up to this height, and what other changes your body may be going through.

Don’t be nervous if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spur(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 between 9 and 15 for boys.

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

46．How can we know how tall we will be?

A．You should have a healthy diet. B．You can ask your doctor for help.

C．You should have enough exercise. D．You can record your growth during puberty.

A．童年时期 B．婴幼儿时期 C．习惯养成期 D．生长发育期

48．Which of the following may the writer agree with?

A．Your body may be going through other changes when you are growing taller.

B．You should go to a doctor when you have grown a lot in a short time.

C．Boys are always taller than their parents when they grow up.

D．Girls start their puberty much earlier than boys do.

49．If James hopes to grow fast, what should he avoid doing?

A．Getting plenty of sleep. B．Never stay up late.

C．Eating an unhealthy diet. D．Doing enough exercise.

Why is the cat not in the Chinese zodiac (生肖)?

There is a famous Chinese folk story about this. The Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝) invited all animals to take part 61． a race (赛跑). The first 12 animals to finish the race would become part of the zodiac.

At that time, the cat and the rat were good fiends. When they 62． (hear) about the race, the cat said to the rat, “we should arrive early to sign up for the race, but I 63． (usual) wake up late.” The rat promised to wake his friend up 64． they could go together. 65．, on the morning of the race, the rat was so 66． (excite) when he woke up that he forgot his promise. He went directly to the gathering area for the race. The cat woke up only 67． (find) that the race was already over.

71．例文：

Dear Mike,

I’m glad to receive your last letter. I know you are interested in the Green Week that was held by our school last month. Now let me tell you something about it. First we had different kinds of activities, such as placing school recycling bins, cleaning rooftop farms and so on. Then the expert gave us a lecture about environment. And we had a discussion about environmental problems.

I think a lot about environmental problems. I think if we want to protect the environment, we should first improve our awareness of environmental protection. Environmental protection starts with me. I can ride to school every day and I won’t throw wastes everywhere. If I don’t use the light, I’ll turn it off. What’s more, I’m trying to reuse things like paper and plastic bags. All of these can help make our earth greener.

What do you think of my ideas?

Yours,

Li Ming
