Early in the morning, at noon, or in

all over the
United

People
run

—
along the beaches of
California,
17
Central Park in
New York, down quiet streets in
small
towns or at the gym
．
Some
people even run in
18
living rooms.
Running wasn’t
so popular in th
e
past
．
In the 1960s, runners
were mostly athletes and healthy
strong
people
．
When people saw a
runner, they used
19
,
“
Hey, what’s the
hurry for
？”
or
they might say to
20
“
,
Is he
crazy
？”
At that time, women
almost never ran
．
If they
did, they
might
be
laughed
at
．
But
today
all
these
have
21
.
Men
and
women

running.
Doctors
say
many

the
health
problems

bad
habits:
eating too much, smoking cigarettes,
and taking

exercise
．
Doctors
tell us,
“
Eat

smoke, and

Running is a

A young man went to visit a
wise man living deep in the mountain for the
wisdom of life.
“
Excuse me!
Could you please tell me what the most
26
day in our lives
is
？
Is it the
day
when we were born or the day we
27
？
Is it the day when we fall
in love or the day we
succeed
？”
The
young man asked.
“
28
．
The most important day in
our lives is today.
”
The wise
man replied calmly.
“
Why
？”
The young man felt more than
29
．“
Is it because there is a
moving event
taking place
today
？”
“
< br>No
．
Nothing has happened
today
．”
“
Is it because of my
visit
？”
“
Even
if
nobody
visited
me
today,
today
is
30
very
important
because
today
is
the
only wealth we
have
．
No matter how memorable
yesterday is, it has gone by like a ship going
down into the sea; no matter how bright
tomorrow may be, it is yet to come; but no matter
how
common today is, it is
31
our control
(
控制
).
”
The
young
man
still
wanted
to
ask
something,
while
the
wise
man
32
him
and
said,
“
When we are talking about
the meaning of today, we have
33
a lot of it
．”
The young man nodded and then went down
the mountain.
Actually, today is the
only
34
we have. So,
what we should do now is to
35
yesterday
and
tomorrow and catch fast today!

Our village carpenter
(
木匠
) , John, came one day
and made a dining table for my
wife
．
He
made it
just the right size for the space between the two
windows
．
When I got home that
evening,
John was drinking a cup of tea
and writing out his bill for the job.
My wife said to me
quietly,
“
That’s his ninth
cup of tea
today
．
”
But she
said, in a loud voice,
“
It’s
a beautiful table, dear, isn’t
it
？”
“
I’ll decide about that when
I see the bill.
”
I said.
John laughed and gave me his bill for
the work
．
I read:
One dining table
Cost of
wood
Paint
Total
10 November,
1998
$$17.00
$$1.50
$$36.50
Work, 8
hours ( $$1 an hour )
$$8.00
When I was looking at the bill, John
said,
“
It’s been a nice day,
hasn’t it
？
Quite
sunny
．”
“
< br>Yes.
”
I
said
．“
I’m glad
it’s only the
tenth of
November
．”
“
Me,
too.
”
said
John
．“
You wait
—
it’ll be a lot
colder by the end of the
month
．”
“
Yes,colder
—
and
more
expensive!
A
dining
table
will
be
$$20
more
expensive
on
November 30, won’t it,
John
？”
John
looked hard at me for half a
minute
．
Was there a little
smile in his two blue eyes
？
I
gave his bill back to him.
“
If there isn’t too much
trouble, John,
”
I
said,
“
please add it up
again
．
You can forget the
date…
”
I paid him $$26.50 and he was happy to
get it.
36
．
Why
did John talk about the weather when the writer
was looking at the bill
？
A
．
Because he

carefully.
B
．
Because it was
really a fine day.
C
．
Because he
wanted the writer to check the bill carefully.
D
．
Because he
wanted to tell the writer what the weather was
like.

_______ if he made a dining table on the last day
of November.
A
．
$$20.00
C
．
$$56.50
B
．
$$46.50

40

B
Height is just one of the
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 h
ow tall
you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she
can help you find them
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.
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 time when they
start puberty
.
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
amazed if you seem to ha
ve 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 after your body
starts to
show the first changes of
puberty.
41
．
If
you want to know how tall you should grow,
_______.
A
．
you
should have enough exercise
B
．
you can ask
doctors for help
C
．
you should take
some special medicine
D
．
you can record
your growth during puberty
42
．
The Chinese
for the word
“
puberty
”
is _______.
A
．童年时期
C
．习惯养成期
B
．婴幼儿时期
D
．生长发育期
43
．
This passage
is mainly about ______.
A
．
how the genes
work in your body
B
．
how your
parents’ height inf
luence you
C
．
how you look
like your parents
D
．
how you grow to
a certain height
44
．
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
45
．
Which
is NOT mentioned in the
passage
？
A
．
Your height
most probably depends on how tall your parents
are.
