阅读理解

    Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes decide. 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 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.

    No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's 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 you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.

    Don't 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.

    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.

(2)、If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _____.

(3)、This passage is mainly about      .
A、how the genes work in your body B、when is the time you grow fast C、why you look like your parents D、how you grow to a certain height
(4)、After reading this passage, we can explain      .
A、how good it is to be a doctor B、how much sleep time we need C、why genes can't decide everything D、what healthy diet is
(5)、Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A、Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are. B、Girls' age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys'. C、The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed. D、You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.

   Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling, which is the process (过程) of treating used things, such as paper or steel so that they can be used again. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more things than we need. We are now dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the possible greenest way, but it would be far better if we did not bring so many things home in the first place.
   Here is an example. In the UK, the total of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a household's waste. In many supermarkets, foods are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
   Too much packaging causes serious environmental problems. The UK is running out of different kinds of ways for dealing with this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect (效果). Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The best way of avoiding this problem is to stop producing such unnecessary things in the first place. Food waste is another serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers (消费者) to buy more than they need. They seldom encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue.
   But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to connect packaging with quality (质量). We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. Is it true for all the products? In fact, more and more companies realized the importance of protecting the environment. They try to package what really should be packaged, including products in good quality.
   As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize how many unnecessary things are being collected. We need to face the waste of our daily life. Although many people have taken action to recycle, we have a high mountain to climb.

    In nature,you may see many insects and animals of different colors.Have you ever wondered why?

Locusts(蝗虫)are super delicious food for birds,but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them.It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies.The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops(农作物).When crops are young,locusts look green.But when autumn comes,locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.

    Brown bears,tigers and other animals move quietly through forests.They can't be seen easily by their enemies.This is because they have colors similar to the trees.For the same reason.polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white.Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers.Soil insects are mostly dark—colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment.However,insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others.So in order to survive , they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.

    Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger.As the ink spreads over.its enemies will not find themselves suddenly in a dark world.At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away.That is how it keeps itself save though it is not strong at all.
