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．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（潛力）．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 here 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．

4．A phenomenon known as "kuakuaqun"or "praise group" has taken Chinese social media by storm.The number of topics like this on Weibo has reached more than 23 million.Users can join a chat group on WeChat or QQ，where they are showered with varieties of generous praise and encouragement.
Just imagine the scenes：You get an A in an exam and you want to get some praise.When you post it into a praise group，you are praised for not only your efforts but also being as clever as Albert Einstein.It's 10 p.m.jye.ai you are the only person in the office.You receive a reply， "You are so hardworking!You'll definitely get a higher position!Praise to you! "Even if you go to a toilet and forget taking some tissue，someone points out that "you're caring about trees and the environment!Good for you! "
How would you feel？
The appearance of "praise groups" provides an opportunity for ordinary people who cannot get positive feedback easily in their daily life to get comfort from their hears.It also shows the life and social pressure of today's young people.Moreover，the popularity of these chat groups is a reflection of Chinese culture which values modesty and humility - people often hide their true emotion of seeking and giving praise.As long as people's praise doesn't sound obviously untruthful，you're likely to welcome it.Sometimes，people enjoy praising others as well，just because here they can drop everything and have fun by giving lavish（夸 張 的）comments.However，some people are also willing to encourage and support others from their hearts.
Some netizens（網民） shared their ideas， "I take it as a way of adjusting the mood.The praise group helps in adding our confidence.Some sincere praises can even be inspiring（鼓舞人心的）.However，if you're really in trouble，it is you who holds the final key. "Clearly，some dishonest praise comes at a cost.Chen Kan，an professor in Fudan University's psychology department warned that "The biggest risk is to continue to stress on the 'false self，which makes it harder to see the 'true self .In the end，people in the group will find that such unreasonable praise doesn't help solve the real problem.Soon the whole group will be silent and dead.
Perhaps the praise groups are "a flash in the pan"，which might disappear sooner or later.No matter how you think of it，only when you can understand the pressure.criticism and praise correctly，will you face them bravely.Don't lose yourself in others' voices — that is what really matters.

5．Both native English speakers and non-native speakers find the spelling of English is the most difficult．The English spelling system is not based on a phonetic （ 語音） link between sounds and letters，as is the spelling of Spanish and some other languages．Instead，English spelling is affected by the historical development of the language．Some words are pronounced in several different ways；similarly ，different combinations （結合） of letters can produce the same pronunciation．
The link between sound and spelling in English is not phonetically exact for two main reasons．First，spelling changes did not keep pace with changes in the sound system after the development of printing and of conventions （ 慣例） for spelling．For example，the k in knife and the gh in right come from the Middle English period （ from about 1100 to about 1500），when they were pronounced as separate sounds．Second，there are some spelling conventions that are based on other languages．For example ，during the 16th century the"b" was put into the word doubt．This reflected the Latin word，dubitare，even though the"b" was not pronounced in English．
Two further influences contributed to the illogical system of spelling．When books began to be printed in England，the newly invented spelling system was undermined （ 逐漸削弱）because nearly all the early London printers were foreign．They were usually paid by the line and often put additional letters into words to earn more．They regularly also added extra letters to the last word of a line to make the whole text look neater．Many of their spelling errors eventually became accepted English spellings．
There have been many attempts （試圖，嘗試） to reform English spelling．The author and playwright George Bermard Shaw suggested a completely new alphabet，but this had very limited success．American English has developed some of its own spelling conventions，largely as a result of the work of spelling reformer Noah Webster．Webster attempted to get rid of some of the irregularities from the English spelling system and distance American English from British English．Nevertheless，the system as a whole remains particularly complex，and English is widely regarded as having the worst spelling of any language in the world．
（1）What is the most difficult for native English speakers and non-native speakers？
（2）Why isn't the link between sound and spelling in English phonetically exact？
（3）Did the printers often put additional letters into words to get more money？
（4）What did Noah Webster do to reform English spelling？
（5）What is the passage mainly about？組卷：21引用：2難度：0.5
