　　It took George quite a while to find a parking place (停车场) for his car and in the end he had to leave it in a narrow street, some way from the dentist's (牙科诊所). As he got out, he took a look at his watch: his appointment (约定) was at five and he still had twenty minutes to go. He crossed into the square (广场) and sat down on a chair, partly to enjoy the last of the afternoon sun, but also to take a rest. He didn't like these visits to the dentist.

　　As he sat there, watching the children at play and listening to people talking to each other, he was surprised to see a red sports car like his own come out of the street from the parking place. The car ran fast and was soon lost to sight (视野) . George felt in his pockets for his keys: they were not there.

　　“ My car! ” he shouted, the voice made several people look at him. He got up and ran across the square, then down the narrow street. His car was not to be seen ---- but then he found it behind a large one. He was too pleased to find his keys, still in his car.

　　By the time he reached the dentist' s, it was already after five. “ I had a very strange story, ”he said to the dentist to explain (解释) his lateness. “I thought my car had been stolen. ”“ It's quite all right, sir,” said the dentist. “ As a matter of fact I have only just got here myself. ”

  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 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. 
【小题1】. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is 　　　　　　　　　.

A．童年时期

B．婴幼儿时期

C．习惯养成期

D．生长发育期

【小题2】 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 save the environment	D．You can record your growth during puberty

【小题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

【小题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

【小题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.
