4．It is not easy for people to sail （航海） around the world in quite small boats．Sometimes the weather gets bad．Accidents（事故） can happen easily and quickly．
One family once had an accident．A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes（洞） in it．Sea water came in and the boat soon went down．Luckily these people had another small boat--a lifeboat，so they all got into the lifeboat．They lived in the boat for many days．They ate and slept，and always hoped．At last people in a ship saved them．
How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time？They must be strong in every way．They must have a hope，and they must have a strong desire（愿望）to live．People cannot drink seawater．If they drink a lot of sea water，they will quickly die．They must catch rainwater and drink it．They must also catch fish and birds for food．Lifeboats do not often carry cookers．So people cannot cook their food in the lifeboats．Raw （生的） fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food．They must eat raw food，or they will die．

61．When the boat sank （下沉），the lifeboat gave the peopleA．
A．hope
B．beds
C．rainwater
D．food
62．One family once had an accident at sea，becauseD．
A．their boat met bad weather

C．none of them knew how to sail
D．a fish bit holes in their boat
63．People can catchD for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat．
A．fish and birds
B．rainwater
C．both sea water and rainwater
D．both A and B
64．Lifeboats do not often carry cookers．The word"cookers"here meansA．
A．炊具
B．食物
C．厨师
D．大盒子
65．From the article （文章） we can know thatC．
A．It's not interesting to sail around the world
B．Fish in the sea are so dangerous
C．we must have a strong desire（愿望）to live when we are in danger
D．Nobody knows when we will die．

3．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 you're wondering how fast you should grow．It depends．There's no perfect or right answer．Generally speaking，kids grow about 2inches （6centimeters） a year between age 3and the time when they start puberty．
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years．Two centimeters here and 2inches 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 10for girls and about 11for boys．But it can be earlier or later---between 7and 13for girls and 9and 15for 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．

54．What does the word"puberty"meanD．
A．A period that you are a young child
B．A period that your body looks like a baby
C．A period that you develop your habits
D．A period that your body changes quickly
55．If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow，B．
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
56．After reading the passage，we can inferC？
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．

9．Man is a born child，his power is the power of growth．
The trees come up to my window like the yearning（渴望的） voice of the dumb（哑的） earth．

The fish in the water is silent，the animal on the earth is noisy，the bird in the air is singing．
