In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you with a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then maybe you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you are 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 enough sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the right height.No doubt you are wondering how fast you should grow .It depends .There is no perfect or right answer .Kids grow about 2 inches (5 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body start changing and becoming more grown up.)Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years .Two centimeters here and two inches there are not nearly as important as the height you are at now ,how you have 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 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 will usually begin to notice that you are growing faster about a year or so after your body stare to show the first changes of puberty.( ) 46.The passage is mainly about .A. how the genes work in your bodyB. when you grow fastC. how you can grow to a certain height( ) 47.The Chinese for the underlined word “puberty” is .A 婴幼儿期 B 青春期 C 童年期( ) 48.Which statement is NOT true?A. Genes cant decide anything.B. Healthy living habits can help you grow to the right height.C. Most of the boys start puberty earlier than girls.( ) 49.After reading this passage, we know .A. kids will grow faster during the puberty.B. why unhealthy diet can keep you from growing.C. if both your parents are tall, you will be tall ,too.( ) 50.What is not the reason why you are shorter than your classmates now?A.

They had two cups of coffee but paid for three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same. He put a piece of paper on the wall saying,”A cup of coffee.”It was something special and confusing for us .We finished our coffee, paid the bill and left.After a few days ,we had a chance to go to this coffee shop again .While we were enjoying our coffee ,a man poorly dressed entered .As he seated himself ,he looked at the wall and said, ”One cup of coffee from the wall.”The waiter served coffee to this man with the customary respect. The man had his coffee and left without paying.We were amazed to watch all this, as the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the rubbish bin.Now it was no surprise for us the matter was very clear.

Shelter helps the people with no place to live in. Child Line is a telephone help-line for children to call when they have problems. Weight Watchers helps fat people to be thinner and Relate helps people with problems when they cant get on well withothers.In universities, students have their owncounselors. Jan Murray is such a woman. She works in a university as a counselor. Students can come and see her if they need help. I asked her when her office was open and what kinds of problems students had.“In my office, Im here on any day during the week, and the other person is here in the evenings and on weekends. Students can find either of us in the office at any time. Theres also an emergency telephone number at night.”“People come to me with all kinds of problems. A lot of them are worried about their lessons and exams. Some worry about their money. Some need help with finding bedrooms. Sometimes they are ill and they want to talk about seeing doctors. The biggest problem is that though universities are wonderful and interesting places, a lot of students find it difficult to make friends. They miss their families and friends and feel lost in this new place. My work is to listen and try to understand what theyre feeling. But of course I also give them some ideas when its needed.”“Ive had a visit from a young student today. I asked him what the matter was.
