回答问题, 阅读下面短文,根据第1-3小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。
     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 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 (怀疑) you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right
answer. In general, 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 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'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.

阅读理解下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,指出能完成所给句子或回答所提问题的最佳答案。

Astronomy (天文学) is the oldest science known to man. Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about heavens (天堂). But the six planets that he could see with his eyes alone limited man.

The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago. They could see the size, color, and brightness of a star. They could see its place in the sky. They watched the stars move as the seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help themselves study the heavens.

Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes (望远镜), man did not know much about the moon. He did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) had rings around it. His sight was so limited that he could not see all the planets. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets. Pluto (冥王星), the last of the nine planets to be discovered was seen until 1930.

Before the spectroscopes (分光镜), man didn’t know what kind of gas was in the sun or other stars, without radio telescopes (射电望远镜), we did not know that radio noise came from far in space.

Today, astronomy is a growing science. We have learned more in the past fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.

1Thousands of years ago, man watched ____ with his eyes.

A. the moon       B. the stars         C. the universe    D. all the planets

2 When the Greeks watched the stars, they could ____ .

A. know what the stars were made of     B. not see their places in the sky

C. help themselves study the heavens     D. watch the stars move as the seasons changed

3Until there were ____ , man knew very little about the moon.

A. telescopes      B. spectroscopes C. radio telescopes   D. spaceships

3People didn’t know about Pluto until ____ .

A. the 1700s      B. 2,000 years ago   C. 1930             D. thousands of years ago

5____ people began to do research on astronomy.

A. 50 years ago  B. 90 years ago  C. In the early 1700s      D. Over 2,000 years ago

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。

From good reading we can get pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity.____1___ It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever our main purpose in reading may be, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.

___2____ Whether the characters are taken from real life or purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. ___3___ By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.

____4____. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no train or airplane to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our hearts’ desire. Through books we may get the excitement of dangerous adventure without danger. We can climb noble mountains, brave the freeze of an Antarctic winter, or cross the extremely hot sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mix with the cheerful crowds of the Paris roads; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking.

A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. __ 2 ___  . This was the first hostel. (青年招待所) .

Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country.    ___3____  .
