　 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. 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 two inches ( six centimeters) a year between age three and the time when they start puberty.

　　 Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters hero and two 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 nervous 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.

Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination (结合体) of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns (角) and a long moustache (胡子). With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.

    We are proud to call ourselves the "descendants (传人) of the dragon"  In Chinese, "excellent" people are often called "dragons". A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, “ Hoping one's child will become a dragon," which means hoping he or she will be successful.

It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics. They are creative, confident, brave and quick -tempered. There are some famous "dragons" who have done excellent things, for example, the great man Deng Xiacping, the famous businessman Li Jiacbeng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all very successful.

    There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head – Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.

    The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the "descendants of the dragon", it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be " dragons".

    This year is the Year of the Dragon. Good luck to you!
