Babies wh are slw t gain weight in the first mnths f their lives generally catch up with their peers(同龄人)by age 13，a large UK study shws.
The researchers lked at data frm 11，499 children wh tk part in a large study in Bristl in the 1990s.It shwed that 507 wh were slw t gain weight in the first eight weeks f life recvered fairly quickly and had almst caught up by age 2.Anther grup f 480 wh were slw t gain weight between eight weeks and nine mnths cntinued t put n weight slwly until they were seven years ld，but then had a sudden increase and caught up by age 13.
Researchers said the results wuld make parents whse babies fail t put n weight quickly less wrried.The different patterns f recvery between the tw grups were likely due t different reasns fr slw weight gain.All the children were still lighter and shrter than their peers by the time they were teenagers，but within the nrmal range.
The findings shw the imprtance f mnitring a baby's weight and height gain during the first few weeks and mnths，but nt creating anxiety with parents f slwgrwing babies，said the study leader Prf.Alan Emnd frm the University f Bristl.“In the past，a lt f parents have been caused unnecessary anxiety by health prfessinals and this is a psitive message.”He said in many cases f slw grwth where children d nt fllw the standard“curve(曲线)”，it is just because they are fllwing their genetic(基因的)ptential.
Dr Simn Newell，vicepresident fr training and assessment at the Ryal Cllege f Paediatrics and Child Health，said he bradly agreed with the cnclusins f the researchers but stressed that pr weight gain was smething that needed t be mnitred clsely.“I wuld encurage parents t use grwth charts but if measurements shw yur baby is smaller than average it may be cmpletely nrmal，”he said.

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Babies wh are slw t gain weight in the first mnths f their lives generally catch up with their peers(同龄人)by age 13，a large UK study shws.
The researchers lked at data frm 11，499 children wh tk part in a large study in Bristl in the 1990s.It shwed that 507 wh were slw t gain weight in the first eight weeks f life recvered fairly quickly and had almst caught up by age 2.Anther grup f 480 wh were slw t gain weight between eight weeks and nine mnths cntinued t put n weight slwly until they were seven years ld，but then had a sudden increase and caught up by age 13.
Researchers said the results wuld make parents whse babies fail t put n weight quickly less wrried.The different patterns f recvery between the tw grups were likely due t different reasns fr slw weight gain.All the children were still lighter and shrter than their peers by the time they were teenagers，but within the nrmal range.
The findings shw the imprtance f mnitring a baby's weight and height gain during the first few weeks and mnths，but nt creating anxiety with parents f slwgrwing babies，said the study leader Prf.Alan Emnd frm the University f Bristl.“In the past，a lt f parents have been caused unnecessary anxiety by health prfessinals and this is a psitive message.”He said in many cases f slw grwth where children d nt fllw the standard“curve(曲线)”，it is just because they are fllwing their genetic(基因的)ptential.
Dr Simn Newell，vicepresident fr training and assessment at the Ryal Cllege f Paediatrics and Child Health，said he bradly agreed with the cnclusins f the researchers but stressed that pr weight gain was smething that needed t be mnitred clsely.“I wuld encurage parents t use grwth charts but if measurements shw yur baby is smaller than average it may be cmpletely nrmal，”he said.
