c.
Taking
risks
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

the
best
way

What
you

There’s

solution,
but
try
to
make
good
choices
and
be
independent.
Don’t
get
pushed
into

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!

【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!

of
the
passage.You

The
passage
explains
the
reasons
why
teenagers
usually
take
more
risks
than

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
called
dopamine,which
causes
feelings
of
.Teenagers
are
found
to
have
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

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
to
these
problems.Teenagers
should
try
to
make
good
decisions,act
independently
and
find
safe
sources
of
excitement.

Challenges
we
are
taking
to
climbing
instructor
Marco
Black
about
young
adventurers
and
the
risks
they
take
So
Marco,why
are
adventurers
becoming
younger?
Marco:Well,people
have
already
explored
most
places
on
Earth.They’re
climbed
the
highest
mountains,they’ve
visited
the
driest
deserts
and
they’ve
travelled
across
the
sea.Today,it
isn’t
a
race
to
be
the
first
any
more;it’s
a
race
to
be
the
youngest.Sixteen-year-old
Jordan
Romero
is
a
good
example.
Presenter:How
many
mountains
has
Jordan
climbed?
Marco:Well,he’s
climbed
the
seven
highest
mountains
in
the
world,including
Qomolangma.
Presenter:When
did
he
climb
Qomolangma?
Marco:Several
years
ago,in
2010.
Presenter:And
how
old
was
he
then?
Marco:Only
13
years
old!
Presenter:That’s
an
amazing
achievement!I’m
surprised
that
his
parents
allowed
him
to.
Marco:Well,actually
his
dad
climbed
with
him.
Presenter:Oh,OK.But
surely
he
must
have
been
afraid.
Marco:Why
would
he
be?Jordan
comes
from
a
family
of
climbers
and
he
has
great
dreams.He
decided
to
climb
Qomolangma
when
he
was
nine
years
old,after
he
saw
a
picture
at
school
of
each
continent’s
highest
mountain.He’s
even
been
to
Antarctica!
Presenter:But
13
is
very
young,Wasn’t
he
too
young
to
climb
Qomolangma?
Marco:Perhaps
he
was
...
Some
young
adventurers
don’t
understand
the
risks
they’re
taking,but
then
Jordan
was
well-prepared.
Presenter:Marco,have
you
ever
climbed
a
mountain
with
someone
as
young
as
Jordan?
Marco:I
haven’t,and
no
one
has
ever
asked
me
to.
Presenter:Finally,would
you
like
to
climb
Qomolangma
yourself?
Marco:Of
course
I
would!It’s
every
climber’s
dream.It’s
expensive
and
requires
a
lot
of
preparation,but
I
hope
that
someday
I’ll
be
able
to.

320
times
last
year.That’s

winter
swimming
late
in
life.He
was
already
82
years
old
when
he
did
his
first
winter
swim,and
you
may
wonder
why.After
his

died,Grandpa
Lu
moved
to
Harbin
to
be
closer
to
his
son.He
wanted
something
to
focus
on
and
swimming
provided
that.Grandpa

and
since
then
he
has
continued
swimming
in
winter
every
year.He

considered
giving
it
up.He’s
also
made
lots
of
swimming
friends
and
he’s
made
money
for
charity
by
swimming
too.
Grandpa
Lu
is
the
oldest
person
who
regularly
swims
in
winter
in
our
city.And
that’s
why
he’s
special.
“If
the
weather
is
not
too
bad,I
will
go
swimming.”
said
Grandpa
Lu.
“I
started
to

out
of
curiosity,and
then
I
found
that
I
just
couldn’t
stop.”

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

on
1
November
1911,
there
were
terrible
snowstorms
and
the

broke
down（break

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

turned
back.
In
the

only
five
men
carried

Wilson.
On

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.”

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。”
