28、Beijing in 2008,all those long,hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit.The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty,surrounded by criminals and violence,had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Anns victory was far greater than that.Th

36、m green. At 12 weeks old, babies show preferences for colored things as opposed to white ones.In addition to looking at themselves, babies are attracted to high contrast visuals, colorful objects, and faces.

42、t them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of

43、 risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. Th

44、ey had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure

45、choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.What the scientists found was really q

46、uite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were knownmore careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. On

47、ly when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to edu

48、cate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.1、This experiment was carried out byAdividing the teens into three groupsBcomparing the reactions to different risksCgiving equal amount of awa

51、 add up quickly flights, rental car, gas, meals, snacks, and of course, hotels. However, by doing some research and using three little words, you could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your l

52、ocation for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal or “a special discount”, dont press the book button on the website just yet.After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel

53、rate is to call the hotel directly not any of the customer service or 1-800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for a chain hotel. Then youre going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”, your secret weapon here i

54、s to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate.” According to experts at Travel+Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room that will cost you the least for your vacation.If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce

55、those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean more money than they would get if you booked through one of them.Just dont wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not

56、less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel+ Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eight-day stay.259、What does the underlined part “three little words” in Par
