	For Boys		For Girls
Age	Height	Weight	Height	Weight
in Years	in Inches	in Pounds	in Inches	in Pounds
12-13	58-62	85-100	60-63	95-105
14-15	63-66	105-125	63-64	105-115
16-17	67-70	130-150	64	115-120

Fit men have 14% - 17% body fat.

Fit women have 21% -24% body fat.

Male athletes have 6% -13% body fat.

Female athletes have 14% - 20% body fat.

The ideal body fat percentage varies mainly according to age, sex and the physical activity of the individual. But it is a fat. So, it can be observed that other than the above mentioned factors, genetic factors also influence the body-fat rct that some female athletes have body fat as low as 10 % and some male athletes had lower than 4% body faatio.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

You may use the following formula to calculate your BMI:

As per SI Units (国际单位) : BMI = mass (kg)/[height (meters) ]2

Imperial (英制的) Units 1: BMI = mass (Ib. ) x703/[ height (in. ) ]2

Imperial Units 2: BMI = mass (Ib. ) x 4. 88/[ height (ft) ]2

Following conclusions can be derived from (得到) calculating the BMI:

BMI Calculated	Conclusion
BMI 18.5~25	Normal or ideal weight
BMI > 25	Overweight
BMI < 18. 5	Underweight
BMI < 17. 5	Extremely underweight
BMI = 30 or BMI > 30	Obese(病态肥胖的)
BMI = 40 or BMI > 40	Extremely obese

【题目】We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time.

Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, students were paying less and less attention to handwriting.

According to a recently survey, many students don’t want to improve their handwriting for various reason. 52 percent of them think that they can just use a computer, so it is no need to waste time improving our handwriting. 32 percent believe that they are too busy with the study that they have no time to practicing , and 16 percent think that practicing handwriting is useless.

As the saying go, writing style shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is great benefit, especially for students. Therefore, in my opinion, the more importance should be attached to handwriting from now on.

【题目】Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along well. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals means giving up.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.

What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was preciously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.

The significance of this research on cats and dogs maygo beyond pets----to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

【11】Some cats and dogs may fight when_________.

A. they are cold to each other

B. they look away from each other

C. they misunderstand each other’s signals

D. they are introduced at an early age

【2】What is found surprising about cats and dogs?

A. They eat and sleep together

B. They observe each other’s behaviors

C. They learn to speak each other’s language

D. They know something from each other’s voice

【3】It is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs_______.

A. have common interests

B. are less different than was thought

C. have a common body language

D. are less intelligent than was expected

【4】What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A. We should learn to live in harmony

B. We should knows more about animals

C. We should live in peace with animals

D. We should learn more body languages
