“WHAT is the right weight for my height?” is one of the most common questions both boys and girls ask. With the summer holidays coming, many teenagers are thinking about how to get fit, in relation to their weight.

Because people have different body types, there is no single weight that is right for everyone. But there is a healthy weight range（范围）for your height. It is called the Body Mass Index, or BMI. BMI is a formula that doctors use to see how much body fat a person has, based on his or her weight and height.

 BMI = weight (in kilograms) / height2 (in meters). For adults, a BMI between 18.4 and 25 is healthy. For example, if a person is 1.75 meters, his standard weight should be between 56 kg and 76 kg. But things are more complicated for teens and children.

Young people go through a period of fast growth, called puberty (青春期). In this period the body begins making hormones (荷尔蒙) that cause great physical changes, like faster muscle growth and gains in height and weight.

The average person can expect to grow by as much as 25 centimeters during puberty before he or she reaches full adult height. But not everyone grows and develops at the same speed. Girls and boys differ greatly in the way they change as they grow.

This is why BMIs for teens are different according to gender（性别） and age. Doctors use the different percentiles (百分点) on a chart to decide whether teenagers or children are underweight or overweight.

A teen above the 95th percentile is considered overweight because 95 per cent of their age group have a smaller BMI. A teen below the 5th percentile is considered underweight.

Sounds complicated? To say it in an easy way, if you are a 16-year-old girl, your BMI should be between 17 to 24.7, as for boys of the same age, a healthy BMI score is between 17 and 24. 

62. What is the purpose of the story?
     A. To tell you how to keep fit.
     B. To tell you a healthy range for your height.
     C. To explain BMI.
     D. To show how different boys and girls are during puberty.
  63. The word “complicated” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
     A. different                  B. interesting                C. hard to explain             D. surprising
  64. How do doctors decide whether a teenager is underweight or overweight?
     A. By checking whether their BMI is between 18.4 and 25.
     B. By using a BMI chart showing different percentiles.
     C. By checking whether their BMI is between 95% and 10%.
     D. By visiting a health website.

四、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.

If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of  a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold ,or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.

The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound  your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.

An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.

He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule:  “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted t be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

“But you know, doctor,” he said, “ it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

Our neighbour's son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.

    June 29 came and, of course, I hadn't lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (紧身内衣) would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn't try it on.”

The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? That's it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn't match my red face well, and was ready to go.

Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders.

Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.
