Blame your brain
It’s a fact: many teenagers take more risks than children and adults. (risk此处是可数名词，表示风险的意思；另risk也可以表示动词，后面跟动名词作宾语，即risk doing sth,冒险做某事。)
The question is, why Check out the latest studies and think about what you can do about it（该处是介词的宾语从句；介词后面跟宾语从句也很常见，从句中连接代词what充当do的宾语。）.
The “wow” factor
Have you ever been on a roller-coaster ride How did you feel when you got off Excited Amazed This is the “wow” factor, the feeling of pleasure we get when we take and survive a risk（此处翻译需灵活：接受并经历过了冒险）. Scientists know that a brain chemical called dopamine causes this feeling of enjoyment. What has dopamine got to do with you Well, some scientists believe that dopamine levels are sometimes lower in teenagers than they are in children. This means that some teenagers might need to take more risks to get the same “wow” factor（take risks to do sth. 冒险去做某事；该处risk前面可以加形容词）.
“I just felt like it”
Have you ever done something dangerous or frightening without thinking about what happens next When an adult asks a teenager, “What were you thinking of when you did that ” a common reply is, “I just felt like it.” But the question misses the point（miss the point,错过要点）, because the point is that the teenager might not have been thinking at all The teenager didn’t plan to take a risk（该句是一个表语从句；表语从句使用的是现在完成进行时，表示动作从过去一致持续到现在并有可能继续持续下去。）: it just “happened”. A few years ago, scientists made a surprising discovery: the teenage brain goes through（go through是经历的意思；另外还有检查的意思，也比较常见） many physical changes, and some parts of it develop later than others. The last part to fully develop is the frontal cortex. This is the area of the brain which allows us to do things such as controlling feelings and ma good decisions（本单元的语法点是省略；省略的一种情况是在定语从句中，关系代词做宾语时可以省略；其他情况则不可省略。本句中which做主语，不可省。）.
Pressure from friends
Have you ever taken a risk （take a risk to do sth. =take risks to do sth=risk doing sth; 都是冒险做某事）to impress your friends Even teenagers who are not usually big risk-takers may suddenly do something dangerous because they want to show off（show off是夸耀的意思） or fit in. If you look at statistics, boys often take more risks than girls, perhaps because they don’t want to look bad in front of their friends—though girls dislike than too. Boys are more likely not to （be likely to do sth. 有可能去做某事）wear seat belts, more likely to get into an argument or a fight, and more likely to smoke and drink. But is taking risks really the best way to（the way to do sth. 是不定式做后置定语，修饰the way.） get people to respect, notice and like you
What you can do
There’s no easy solution, but try to make good choices and be independent. Don’t get pushed into doing things by your friends. You can get your dopamine fix in lots of other exciting ways. Roller coasters, skateboarding and surfing will all give you the same “wow” factor. And if you’re around 17, stop worrying, because your brain has reached the point where you can more easily make wise decisions(该句是定语从句修饰point；后面用where引导定语从句；point是抽象的地点名词，类似的名词还有situation，stage，level，case等). You’ve survived up until now, so you’ve achieved a lot—well done!
Note: This passage is heavily adapted from (be adapted from…由…改编而来) a section of Blame My Brain—The Amazing Teenage Brain Revealed by Nicola Morgan. The author is not responsible for （be responsible for…对…负责） the wording of this passage. For a clear understanding of the science, readers should refer to （refer to 参考，查阅） the original book.
【参考译文】
归咎于你的大脑
这是一个事实:许多青少年比儿童和成年人更冒险。问题是,为什么 看看最新的研究，想想你能做些什么。
“哇”的因素
你坐过过山车吗 你下车的时候感觉如何 兴奋 惊讶 这就是“令人惊叹”的因素，即当我们承担风险并在风险中生存下来时所获得的愉悦感。科学家们知道是一种叫做多巴胺的大脑化学物质导致了这种快感。多巴胺和你有什么关系 一些科学家认为，青少年的多巴胺水平有时比儿童低。这意味着一些青少年可能需要冒更多的风险才能得到同样的“惊喜”。
“我就是想这样”
你是否曾经做过危险或可怕的事情，却不考虑接下来会发生什么 当成年人问青少年:“你做那件事的时候在想什么 ”一个常见的回答是:“我只是想这样。”但是，这个问题没有抓住重点，因为重点是，这个青少年可能根本没有考虑过，他们并没有打算去冒险:它只是“发生了”。几年前，科学家们有了一个惊人的发现:青少年的大脑会经历许多物理变化，而且某些部分的发育要晚于其他部分。最后要完全发育的部分是额叶皮层。这是大脑的一个区域，它允许我们做一些事情，比如控制情绪和做出正确的决定。
朋友的压力
你有没有冒险去取悦你的朋友 即使是通常不喜欢冒险的青少年也会突然做一些危险的事情，因为他们想要炫耀或融入社会。如果你看一下统计数据，就会发现男孩通常比女孩更愿意冒险，这可能是因为他们不想在朋友面前丢脸——尽管女孩也不喜欢。男孩更有可能不系安全带，更有可能争吵或打架，更有可能抽烟和喝酒。但冒险真的是让人们尊重、注意和喜欢你的最好方式吗
你能做什么
没有简单的解决办法，但是试着做出正确的选择，保持独立。不要被你的朋友逼着去做事情。你可以通过很多其他令人兴奋的方式来修复多巴胺。过山车、滑板和冲浪都会给你同样的“惊喜”。如果你在17岁左右，不要担心，因为你的大脑已经到了可以更容易做出明智决定的阶段。你一直活到现在，所以你做得很好!

levels of dopamine than children,so they have to take more to experience the same excitement.Scientists also believe that teenagers are more likely to do things
without thinking about the results due to the changes in their brains.Their frontal cortex is not fully ,so their ability to make good decisions is limited Pressure from friends is the third factor that turns teenagers into :they have a strong need to look good in front of their friends.They also try to earn from their friends by doing dangerous things such as fighting or not wearing sear belts.Experts suggest that there are no easy

Eyewitness account: Scott’s Hut
(题目中account在此处做名词，意为‘描述’；该词在考纲中的词性和义项比较多，属于重点词汇，一定要牢牢掌握)
Brita Harding is a scientist and she’s been in Antarctica for five weeks. She is working in a small building called Scott’s Hut and is helping to preserve （保存、保护的意思；一般是为了不被破坏而去保护）it. The British explorer Captain Robert Scott used the hut as a base camp（大本营） in 1911.
“The Antarctic is the driest, coldest and windiest continent in the world, It’s dark for six months of the year and not many animals live here, apart from（除了…没有其他的；相当于except） penguins. There are no native people(原住民；土著人) like the Inuits, and tourists never stop off to explore. It’s easy to understand why. It isn’t the best place to live and work and it’s freezing at the moment（当前；眼下）—we’ve had temperatures of -73℃ since Monday!
Every day, I go down to Ross Island and work in Scott’s Hut with other scientists. Inside there are books, wooden skis, biscuits, penguins’ eggs and many other interesting things.All these things have been here for a hundred years and they’re completely frozen. That’s why we want to save the hut—it brings Scott’s expedition to life! （bring…to life意为使…焕发生机，复苏）
The race to the South Pole is a famous story. Captain Scott and a Norwegian explorer called Roald Amundsen both wanted to get there first. They both prepared for many months,but in the end their strategies for（…的策略，介词为固定搭配） reaching the pole were very different: Amundsen used dogs to pull his sleds and Scott used motorized sleds and horses .Amundsen had good weather during his expedition（征程；探险）, but Scott had bad weather. When Scott’s team set out from the hut on 1 November 1911, there were terrible snowstorms and the sleds broke down（break down 表示出故障的意思；此外还可以表示人的精神崩溃）. After a few weeks, the horses died and most of his team turned back. In the end, only five men carried on（继续） to the South Pole:Scott, Oates, Evans, Bowers and Wilson.
On 17 January 1912,Scott’s team reached the Pole and came across （偶然遇见；路遇） the Norwegian flag—Amundsen’s team were there before them and were already racing back to tell the world. Tired and disappointed,（该处是过去分词做伴随状语修饰主句） Scott’s team made their way back home, but they ran out of（消耗完，耗尽） food and got lost in snowstorms; they did not make it.（make it 是做成,成功的意思）
In Scott’s Hut, there is a pair of old explorer’s boots. Scott wore these boots for years and they are dirty and broken, but they’re very special too. They tell us Scott’s story—that he was hard-working, ambitious and determined, and that he pushed himself to the limit. Although the attempt was unsuccessful, Scott never gave up, and that’s an amazing achievement.”
【参考译文】
目击者描述:斯科特的小屋
Brita Harding是一名科学家，她已经在南极洲待了五个星期。她在一个叫做斯科特小屋的小建筑里工作，并帮助保护它。1911年，英国探险家罗伯特·斯科特上尉将这个小屋用作大本营。
“南极是世界上最干燥、最冷、风最大的大陆，一年中有6个月是黑暗的，除了企鹅，没有多少动物生活在这里。没有像因纽特人这样的当地人，游客们也从来不会停下来去探险。原因很容易理解。这不是居住和工作的最佳地点，而且现在很冷——从周一开始，气温只有零下73摄氏度!
每天，我都去罗斯岛，在斯科特的小屋里和其他科学家一起工作。里面有书，木制滑雪板，饼干，企鹅蛋和许多其他有趣的东西。所有这些东西在这里已经有100年了，它们完全冻结了。这就是为什么我们要拯救这个小屋——它给斯科特的探险带来了生机!
到南极的赛跑是一个著名的故事。斯科特船长和一位名叫罗尔德·阿蒙森的挪威探险家都想第一个到达那里。他们都准备了好几个月，但最终到达极点的策略却大不相同:阿蒙森用狗拉雪橇，斯科特用机动雪橇和马。阿蒙森在探险期间天气很好，但斯科特遇到了坏天气。1911年11月1日，当斯科特的团队从小屋出发时，遇到了可怕的暴风雪，雪橇坏了。几周后，马都死了，他的队伍大部分都回去了。最后，只有五个人继续前往南极:斯科特、奥茨、埃文斯、鲍尔斯和威尔逊。
1912年1月17日，斯科特的队伍到达了极点，看到了挪威国旗——阿蒙森的队伍比他们先到达那里，并且已经跑回来告诉世界。斯科特的队伍疲惫而失望地回到了家，但他们没有吃的，还在暴风雪中迷路了，最后没能成功。
在斯科特的小屋里，有一双探险者的旧靴子。斯科特穿着这双靴子很多年了，它们又脏又坏，但它们也很特别。他们告诉我们斯科特的故事——他努力工作，雄心勃勃，意志坚定，他把自己推向了极限。虽然尝试失败了，但斯科特从未放弃，这是一个了不起的成就。”
