20、从右栏中选出左栏的答语

21、Height is just one of the thousands of features that your genes (基因) 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 maybe 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 enough sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the right height.

Maybe you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no right answer. Kids grow about 2 inches (5 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time they start puberty（青春期） .

Your doctor will know how your growth (生长) 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 worried if you have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a very quick growth 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, 9 and 15 for boys.

You’ll usually begin to find that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

【1】If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _______.

A. you should have enough exercise

B. you can ask doctors for help

C. you should protect the environment

D. you can record your growth during puberty

【2】This passage is mainly about _______.

A. how the genes work in your body

B. when the time you grow fast is

C. why you look like your parents

D. how you grow to a certain (某一) height

【3】After reading this passage, we can explain (解释) _______.

A. how good it is to be a doctor

B. how much sleep we need

C. why genes can’t decide everything

D. what an unhealthy diet is

22、   It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible(有责任的) for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.

If you give your children the impression(印象) that they can never do anything right, then they will treat themselves as unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent(独立).

My daughter Mary's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel good When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and said they could learn what they had missed.

You can use the same way when you evaluate(评价) your child's work at home. Do not always scold but give lots of praise to your children instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn't done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.

Learning is a process(过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

【1】The whole passage deals with ________.

A.social education B.school education C.family education D.pre-school education

【2】The author thinks that ________.

A.there is no way to get children to help at home

B.the more encouragement and praise you give, the more responsible and helpful children will become

C.it is very difficult to make children responsible for housework

D.children can be forced to help with housework

【3】The passage gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate your child's work at home. That is to ____.

A.praise his hard work B.promise him a trip

C.give him a punishment D.promise him a ball game

【4】Through the last paragraph, we can conclude that ________.

A.pride goes before a fall B.practice makes perfect

C.no pains, no gains D.failure is the mother of success

Recently, you may have seen a lot of expressions like the above online. It is the latest popular style called “roaring genre”. It has short sentences, a complaining tone and a lot of exclamation marks.

Internet users say the style is just a way of letting out emotions, and in fact, it shows an active attitude towards life. But, at first, many of us think people who speak this way are quite angry. Sometimes we may feel afraid of the tone and the exclamation marks.

Why? Because on the Internet, we can’t see the face of a person when he or she posts a message. We can only guess if that person is happy or angry. And we could be wrong.

There are rules of behavior to follow when you’re online. It is important to remember that you are dealing with “real” people. So you should use the best manners —just like you would at home or in school.

For example, when you chat in English with someone online, you shouldn’t type in all capital letters, because this means you are shouting. It can easily upset people, even if you don’t do it on purpose. You can use asterisks, like *this* or lines, like _this_, to emphasize a word. Or, you can use emoticons to tell the person what you’re feeling.

Also, it is not polite to use short forms unless you are talking to your good friends. For example, use “see you later”, instead of “CU L8er”.

【1】The expressions in the first paragraph are called ________.

A．complaining genre

B．roaring genre

C．ironic genre

D．critical genre

【2】What’s the characteristic of the “roaring genre”?

A．It has long sentences.

B．It has a complaining tone.

C．It has no marks.

D．It has many words.

【3】Internet users think “roaring genre” shows________ towards life.

A．an active attitude

B．a negative attitude

C．no attitude

D．complaint

【4】We should be________ when we are online.

A．mad

B．active

C．critical

D．polite

【5】When we chat online, typing in all capital letters means________.

A．we are polite

B．we don’t want to chat with others

C．we are shouting

D．we are happy
