They say more Americans need to take a napthat is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.36 .

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 youre going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.But genes dont 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.No doubt youre wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. Theres no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height youre at now, how youve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.Dont be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during_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.Youll usually begin to notice that youre growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.45 . . The Chinese for the word “puberty” is.A童年时期B婴幼儿时期C习惯养成期D生长发育期46 . If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _.Ayou should have enough exerciseByou can ask doctors for helpCyou should save the environmentDYou can record your growth during puberty47 .

After reading this passage, we can explain.Ahow good it is to be a doctorBhow much sleep time we needCwhy genes cant decide everythingDwhat healthy diet is49 . Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?AYour height most probably depends on how high your parents are.BGirls age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys.CThe time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.DYou may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.四、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词50 .
