三、阅读理解
It’s hard to turn down hamburgers, French fries, potato chips and all of the other junk food that seem to call out to us. However, eating too much junk food can harm your body, especially if you’re between the ages of 10 and 19.
“Junk food shapes the brains of teenagers in ways that hurt their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to control their crazy behaviors ,”said Amy Reichelt, a brain scientist at Western University, Canada. “It may even up a teen’s risk of depression (抑郁) and worries.”
Reichelt and two other researchers reviewed more than 100 studies, including their own, about how poor food choices can influence the brains of teenagers. They found teenagers are more sensitive (敏感) than any other age group to foods with a lot of fat and sugar as their brains are not yet fully formed
Teenagers’ brains are still developing the ability to know about risks and control actions. The prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldn’t eat chips all the time and helps us against them. However, this region (区域) is the last to mature — it doesn’t fully develop until we are in our early 20s.
Meanwhile, teen brains get more excited from rewards. The parts of the brain that make us feel good when we experience something good — like eating tasty foods — are fully developed by the teen years.
In fact, these regions are even more sensitive when we are young. That’s because dopamine (多巴胺), a natural chemical that lifts our mood when we experience something good, is especially active in teen brains.Therefore, the teen brain has two attacks when it comes against junk food. “It has a increasing power for rewards and reduced self-regulation (自我调节),” said Reichelt.
Reichelt and her team did their own study using mice, whose brains develop much like our own. They discovered that the “teenage” mice that had a high-fat diet did worse on memory tests than those eating a normal diet. Researchers said the high-fat diet may make the mice’s prefrontal cortex work less actively.
So, what’s the best way to say no to junk food Researchers suggest exercise. When we exercise, the brain’s reward system becomes less sensitive to junk food. Exercise also gets the body to make something that helps brain cells grow and increases connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain parts. So the prefrontal cortex can work better to help us make wise decisions and control our behaviour.
