Review
the
text
and
check
the
summary
1.
Why
is
the
passage
titled
“blame
your
brain”?
What
does
it
imply?
We
blame
teenage
brain
for
their
risk-taking
because
dopamine
levels
are
sometimes
lower
in
teenagers
than
they
are
in
children.
Teenagers’
frontal
contex
which
is
involved
in
controlling
feelings
and
making
good
decisions
has
not
fully
developed,
so
they
take
more
risks.
2.
Besides
dopamine
and
frontal
cortex,
what
else
contributes
to
their
taking
risks?
Pressure
from
friends
or,
we
can
also
say,
peer
pressure.
3.
What
can
we
do
about
teenagers’
risk-taking?
-Try
to
make
good
choices
and
be
independent.
-Don’t
get
pushed
into
doing
things
by
friends.
-Try
other
exciting
things,
such
as
roller
coasters,
skateboarding
and
surfing.
Check
the
summary
The
passage
explains
the
reasons
why
teenagers
usually
take
more
risks
than
children
and
adults,
and
offers
some
suggestions
on
how
to
deal
with
teenage
problems.
Scientists
believe
that
teenage
risk-taking
is
closely
related
to
the
levels
of
a
brain
1
chemical
called
dopamine,
which
causes
feelings
of
2
enjoyment/pleasure.
Teenagers
are
found
to
have
3
lower
levels
of
dopamine
than
children,
so
they
have
to
take
more
4
risks
to
experience
the
same
excitement.
Scientists
also
believe
that
teenagers
are
more
likely
to
do
5
dangerous/frightening
things
without
thinking
about
the
results
due
to
the
6
physical
changes
in
their
brains.
Their
frontal
cortex
is
not
fully
7
developed,
so
their
ability
to
make
good
decisions
is
limited.
Pressure
from
friends
is
the
third
factor
that
turns
teenagers
into
8
risk-takers:
they
have
a
strong
need
to
look
good
in
front
of
their
friends.
They
also
try
to
earn
9
respect
from
their
friends
by
doing
dangerous
things
such
as
fighting
or
not
wearing
seat
belts.
Experts
suggest
that
there
are
no
easy
10
solutions
to
these
problems.
Teenagers
should
try
to
make
good
decisions,
act
independently
and
find
safe
sources
of
excitement.

Deep
reading
Identify
communicative
strategies
(1)
...some
scientists
believe
that
dopamine
leves
are
sometimes
lower
in
teenagers
than
they
are
in
children.
a&b
Several
strategies
are
used
in
this
sentence.
First,
the
writer
uses
“scientists”
and
the
present
tense
of
“are”
to
indicate
the
information
is
correct
enough
to
be
true.
But
at
the
same
time,
the
writer
uses
“some”
before
“scientists”
to
make
it
known
that
not
all
scientists
believe
this
information
is
reliable.
This
way,
the
writer
leaves
room
for
reasonable
doubt.
Even
teenagers
who
are
not
usually
big
risk-takers
may
suddenly
do
something
dangerous
because
they
want
to
show
off
or
fit
in.
b
The
modal
verb
“may”
in
the
sentence
is
used
to
modify
the
tone
of
the
statement,
indicating
that
it
is
possible
for
teens
who
are
low
risk-takers
to
suddenly
change
their
behavior
and
do
something
dangerous.
By
using
“may”,
the
statement
more
objectively
reflects
a
possible
situation.
(3)
Boys
are
more
likely
not
to
wear
seat
belts,
more
likely
to
get
into
an
argument
or
a
fight,
and
more
likely
to
smoke
and
drink.
b
The
adjective
“likely”
helps
the
writer
draw
attention
to
the
differences
between
boys
and
girls
when
it
comes
to
taking
risks.
However,
it
also
shows
that
this
does
not
apply
to
all
boys
or
girls.
(4)
But
is
taking
risks
really
the
best
way
to
get
people
to
respect,
notice
and
like
you?
c
&
d
The
writer
uses
a
question
because
she
wants
the
reader
to
join
in
a
dialogue
with
her
and
to
think
about
an
answer
for
himself/herself.
The
writer
uses
the
second
pronoun
“you”
to
let
the
reader
know
she
is
speaking
directly
to
him/her.
It
implies
that
the
reader
should
think
about
this
question
and
judge
for
himself/herself.
III.
Discussion
Discuss
risk-taking
in
pairs.
1.
Do
you
think
taking
risks
is
the
best
way
to
get
people
to
respect,
notice
and
like
you?
Why
or
why
not?
Answers
may
vary.
2.
In
your
opinion,
what
are
better
ways
to
get
people
to
respect
you?
Answers
may
vary.
IV.
Interaction
Do
a
survey
on
teenage
risk-taking.
Questions
for
reference:
What’s
the
greatest
risk
you
have
ever
taken?
How
did
you
feel?
Will
you
do
it
again?
Why
or
why
not?
