Question

【題目】 Height is important and almost everyone wishes he or she were taller, but do you know how to grow tall?

Height is just one of the 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 height of each parent.If both your parents are tall, the most probably you will be tall, too.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_beginning_of_puberty(青春期).

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 ________ 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.

【5】一般來說,孩子們?cè)?/span>3歲到青春期開始這段時(shí)間內(nèi),每年能長大約六厘米。

【解析】

【主旨大意】這篇短文主要講述了人的身高問題,每個(gè)人的身高與父母的身高緊密相關(guān)。但是通過健康飲食和體育鍛煉,也能使人長到一個(gè)理想的高度。每個(gè)人都有生長發(fā)育的高峰時(shí)期,因此不必對(duì)某一時(shí)期自己身高的快速增加而感到驚奇。

1.根據(jù)“If both your parents are tall, the most probably you will be tall, too.”描述,可知如果你的父母都高,那么你長高的可能性就大,據(jù)此可以推斷如果你的父母都矮,那么你長得矮的可能性就大。

2.根據(jù)第二段“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.”描述,可知健康飲食,充足的睡眠和鍛煉能有助于你長到一個(gè)理想高度。故答：Eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise (can help you grow tall).

3.根據(jù)下文“...to have grown a lot in a very short time.”在短時(shí)間長得很高,可知此處指的是你不要對(duì)此感到驚訝,本句中be是系動(dòng)詞,故填形容詞amazed/surprised驚奇的。

4.閱讀短文可知,這篇短文主要就是圍繞著如何長高的問題進(jìn)行描述的,故答：Height is important and almost everyone wishes he or she were taller, but do you know how to grow tall?

5. Generally speaking一般來說；between...and...在……之間。
