Many teenagers smoke, drink and even fight. They often do something dangerous.E

31、arlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely (可能) to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So whats the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US univ

32、ersity, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view themthat is “peer influence”.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions with

33、out thinking about the costs. In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they

34、 drove more safely.Why do peers have such a big influence on teens behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers ar

35、e watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的)teenager doesnt necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow

36、 out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”1What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?AQuick. BCrazy.

37、peers think of them.3How does Laurence explain the influence of peer pressure on teens behavior?ABy comparing it with how a car works.BBy comparing it with an accident.CBy showing research findings.4What can we learn from the text?ATeenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.BPeer influence is bad

38、on teenagers.CMost of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.D16、Im Jack. Yesterday was the most exciting day in my life. I was on TV! This is my first time on TV.

52、re making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more. Streng

53、th training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and do it over and over again.
