(A)
Bob always took the newspaper to Grandpa White’s home before going home. Grandpa White’s was at the end of the road. Bob liked Grandpa White. He was often waiting for him near the front gate with sweets or a nice cake. Besides, he often asked Bob about things he was doing, what he was going to do for the summer and what he liked to do.
The thing that Bob didn’t like about Grandpa was his never-ending stories about his boyhood（童年）in California. Bob was never asked to hear about Grandpa’s boyhood, but he couldn’t get away.
After Grandpa’s wife died in October, Bob could see that Grandpa was lonelier than ever. He would often join Bob halfway along the road and walk along with him as he gave out the newspapers. Grandpa seemed to have all day, and Bob was often late giving newspapers to his customers（订报者）. Bob didn’t want to complain, but the customers were unhappy.

(B)
Height is just one of the thousands of features that 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 maybe 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 enough sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the right height.
Maybe you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no right answer. Kids grow about 2 inches (5 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time they start puberty .
Your doctor will know how your growth (生长) has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 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 worried if you have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a very quick growth 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, 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to find that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
( ) 6. The Chinese for the underlined word in the third paragraph “puberty” is _______.
A. 童年时期 B. 婴幼儿时期 C. 习惯养成期 D. 青春期
( ) 7. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _______.
A. you should have enough exercise B. you can ask doctors for help
C. you should protect the environment D. you can record your growth during puberty
( ) 8. This passage is mainly about _______.
A. how the genes work in your body B. when the time you grow fast is
C. why you look like your parents D. how you grow to a certain (某一) height
( ) 9. After reading this passage, we can explain (解释) _______.
A. how good it is to be a doctor B. how much sleep we need
C. why genes can’t decide everything D. what an unhealthy diet is
( ) 10. Which is NOT mentioned (提及) in the passage?
A. Your height most probably depends on (取决于) how tall your parents are.
B. Girls usually start puberty earlier than boys.
C. You never see the time showing the first changes of puberty.
D. You may be worried sometimes when you grow too fast.

Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life. Here is a survey (调查) showing the main problems of teenagers.
They feel stressed (有压力的) because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home. They have lots of exams to take. And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends. They don’t have their own time to do what they are interested in. Now more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted (近视). They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest. Some of them are crazy about playing computer games. Some spend too much time watching TV. Another problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat. They eat too much junk food, but they take little exercise.

九、 A Trip to Wuxi
My family and I went to Wuxi by coach last weekend. We stayed there for two days. On the first day, we went to Nanchan Temple by bus, and then we went to Xihui Park. There, we went boating, climbed the hills and had lunch. After lunch, we went to Taihu Square to fly kites there. We watched the views of the famous Tai Lake and took many photos. On the second day, we went to the centre of the city on foot to go shopping. We bought some souvenirs. We enjoyed ourselves. We’ll never forget this exciting trip.
