What’s the Secret f Our Height?
Have yu ever wanted t be taller? Perhaps we all have wished fr this, whether we’re trying t see ver a crwd f peple r dreaming f becming a basketball player. Height is mainly a result f genetics (遗传), thugh ther factrs like nutritin and healthcare can als influence ur height.
Accrding t Wrld Data, the average height fr Chinese men is 1.71 meters, while fr wmen it’s 1.59 meters. But what stps us frm grwing t three meters r even taller? The answer is evlutin (进化), accrding t a study frm Harvard University.
“Height is nt just abut height. It’s abut the bilgical grwth f an rganism,” bilgist Terence D．Capellini frm Harvard University tld Ppular Science. Over millins f years, natural selectin has influenced the way ur rgans (器官) grw and therefre the way ur bdies grw t. In general, the genes that are respnsible fr rgan grwth are quite active in infants (婴儿), causing them t grw rapidly. But as children get lder, the genes slacken. Eventually, as they enter late adlescence, the genes turn ff and teenagers reach their adult height.
Accrding t the study, abut 70 t 80 percent f ur height is mainly determined by the grwth genes. The ther factrs are sme envirnmental factrs like prper nutritin and mdern healthcare. An example f an envirnmental factr is when a child desn’t get the nutritin he r she needs, the child is less likely t reach the average height.
Many peple wuld like t be taller than they are, but is that necessarily gd fr them?
Rbert Wadlw frm the US was the tallest man in histry. He was 2.71 meters tall. But he suffered frm several related health prblems. Fr example, he needed leg braces (支架) t help him walk. He died at the age f 22 frm an infectin that was caused by a brace that didn’t fit him prperly. Being very tall can cause high bld pressure in the legs. It can als put t much stress n the heart, accrding t The Guardian.
It seems that beynd having tall parents, the nly way t increase yur height is t eat a healthy and balanced diet, accrding t Frbes.
1．Accrding t the passage, ________ stps humans frm grwing.
A．healthcareB．nutritinC．lifestyleD．evlutin
2．The wrd “slacken” in Paragraph 3 prbably means “________”.
A．turn ffB．slw dwnC．give ffD．break dwn
3．The writer prbably agrees that ________.
A．reaching the average height may put less stress n ur heart
B．humans’ rgans grw much mre slwly than their height
C．we have t becme strnger if we want t grw much taller
D．ur height is als influenced by ur daily fd besides genes
