1．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．

2．Ray Charles，a black singer and pianist of the USA．He had won 12 Grammy Awards （格萊美獎） and performed at 10，000 concerts around the world．Many musicians called him simply"the Genius"（天才）．

In 2003 a film of his life Ray was made．The part of Charles was played by a younger actor and musician called Jamie Foxx．The film director brought Foxx to meet Charles．After they had been playing together for
two hours，Charles，then aged 73，jumped up and said："He's the one…h(huán)e can do it．"A year later Charles died aged 74．The film of his life has been as popular as his songs and means that the memory of Charles' music will live on．

3．In Britain．Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th，which is the following day after Christmas Day．However，strictly speaking．Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas．Like Christmas Day．Boxing Day sing a public holiday．This means it's a non-working day in the whole of Britain．When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday，the following Monday is the public holiday．
The exact origin（起源）of the holiday is unclear．One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages，when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land，a Christmas Box was placed by a priest （神父）on each ship．Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box．It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely．Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing．The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas．
One more thought is about the"Alms Box"placed in every church on Christmas Day．Worshippers （做禮拜的人）put gifts for the poor into it．These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas，that is why that day became know as Boxing Day．
Today，many businesses，organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating（捐贈）their time，services and money to aid Food Banks，providing gifts for the poor，or helping families in need．Besides，spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now．

D．傳遞
（4）The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT．
A．offering gifts to the poor
