China’s female swimmer Fu Yuanhui came third in Women’s 100 meter backstroke(仰泳) on Monday morning (Beijing time) at Rio Olympics. China’s online community has gone crazy about the 1996-born girl, not because of her performance in the semifinal or her achievement, but because of her cheerful answer to her performance during an interview by CCTV.

Finishing the 100 meter backstroke with 58.95 seconds, Fu, who thought it was 59 seconds, was quite surprised with the result. This was the first moment when she impressed Chinese audience with her surprising look and body language in front of the camera. The second time that the young swimmer amazed the audience was her honest and direct answer to a question raised by the reporter.” We know that your body condition was not that good in the past year and it’s not easy to have such a result. Do you think you are now as good as before?” asked the reporter.” It is my best score ever. I have worked for three months on the recovery. Only the ghost knows what I have come through,” said Fu, “It was so painstaking that sometimes I felt like I was going to die.”

In the interview, Fu used a phrase” Hong Huang Zhi Li”to describe the great efforts she has made in preparing for the competition, which soon became a popular word on the internet.

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 how 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 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 after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

1.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

2.The Chinese for the underlined word “puberty ”in paragraph 3 is _______.

A. 童年时期 B. 婴幼儿时期 C. 习惯养成期 D. 生长发育期

3.Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Your height most probably depends on how tall your parents are.

B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.

C. The features showing the first changes of puberty between boys and girls are different.

D. You may be amazed sometimes when you grow too fast.

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. If you want to grow faster, you need to get enough sleep and exercise.

B. Everyone has a growth spurt during puberty.

C. Your height is decided by many factors.(因素)

D. Genes is important for your height.

Chris is not a traditional explorer(探险者) ─he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.

Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.

At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical staffs taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical(热带的) diseases are especially useful because most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.

But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you gain is a great help in your career. Besides, just like the explorers of the past, you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet. Most importantly, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives.
