Daniel’s parents were worried about him. “He shouldn’t go through life making excuses, and he always says that he forgets something only because he is so busy all the time.” His father said. “No one will trust him to do anything. He won’t be able to keep a job. No smart girl will marry him.”

“I don’t know what we can do.” His mother said.

“I have an idea,” his father said, “If this doesn’t work, nothing will.”

The next day was Daniel’s birthday. He was really looking forward to getting exciting presents. He woke up, expecting his parents to wish him a happy birthday. But all day what they said was “Good morning, Daniel. Hurry or you will be late for school”. There were no presents, not even a card. He was really disappointed.

“Never mind,” he thought, “There will be a surprise for me after school.” But there wasn’t.

Sadly, he said to his parents at dinner, “Today’s my birthday.”

“Oh,” his father said. “So it is. I forgot.”

“So did I.” his mother said.

“How could you forget?” Daniel asked. “There must be a reason.”

“Well, yes.” his father said, “We have a really good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Daniel. We didn’t remember your birthday because we were too busy.”

Poor Daniel! He never had a silly excuse for not doing something again, because every time he showed excuses, he thought he was so clever that everyone could believe in him. But this time, his parents taught him a good lesson.

1.Daniel always made excuses, because he doesn’t have a good memory.

2.Daniel’s parents were worried about him because they knew he would meet a lot of difficulties in future unless he corrected his mistakes.

3.Daniel’s parents didn’t buy him anything for his birthday because they were really very busy.

After graduating from middle school, many students grow very fast, especially boys. And the teachers have to look up at their faces to show love for them. Why do they grow so fast?

Height is just one of the thousands of features 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 perhaps 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(潛力). Getting enough sleep and exercise will help you grow to the right height.

No doubt you’re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There’s no perfect or right answer. Kids grow about 5 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty（when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up. ）

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 puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and 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.

1.What does the underlined word “puberty” mean in Chinese?

A.童年時代 B.嬰幼兒時期 C.青春期

2.If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _______________.

A.you should have enough exercise

B.you should ask doctors for help

C.you can record your growth during puberty

3.Girls’ growth spurt can be _______________.

A.14 B.13 C.15

4.Which is true according to the passage？

A.Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually later than that of boys’.

B.You height never depends on genes.

C.Everyone has a growth spurt during puberty.

5.The passage is mainly about _______________.

A.Height. B.Weight. C.Genes.
