Many parents often say their teenage son looks like a grown man.He is taller than his father,and his voice has turned deep.But his behavior is another matter.He makes hurried decisions, tries to smoke and drink,drives cars too fast and always makes his parents annoyed.Why?

That's because his brain is developing more slowly than his body.Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health and UCLA carried out a long?time study of normal brain development.They found that the frontal lobe (大脑额叶 ),the area responsible for understanding future influences,making wise decisions and controlling impulses(冲动),does not become mature (成熟的)until the early 20s.

Because of the immature brains,teenagers are easily influenced by the environment and unexpected behavior.So their death rates rise sharply.Research shows that rates of death by injury for people between the age of 15 and 19 are six times those seen in kids aged 10 to 14.The government reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in a car accident and three times more likely to die in one.

Teens may be attracted to drugs and alcohol.Rates of drug and alcohol use are high when compared with those of other age groups.Frances Jensen and David Urion,doctors at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School,discovered that adult brain cells recovered (恢复 ) more quickly from alcohol influence than younger brain cells.Jensen said in Harvard Magazine: “For a teenager,what he drank on the weekend is still with him during that test on Thursday.”

Teens aren't making trouble on purpose.They long for freedom,but they are still young.They're still forming into the adults they'll eventually be.And,of course,they won't be at this age forever.Home education plays one of the most important roles in young people's growth,and the influence is most lasting.Finally,they will grow up and become wise adults.

1.Which of the following is NOT the typical behavior of a teenage boy?

A. Driving cars too fast.

B. Making their parents annoyed.

C. Quarreling with their friends.

D. Making careless decisions.

2.Teens death rates rise sharply because of their ________.

A. immature brains

B. brave and impatient character

C. small and cheap cars

D. changeable environments

3.From the last paragraph,we can make the conclusion that ________.

A. teenagers should have freedom to do what they like to do

B. teenagers still require lots of care and attention from their parents

C. teenagers usually make their parents annoyed on purpose

D. teenagers actually know how to make wise decisions

Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname(绰号) “Four dollars a bucket (桶)” to him, for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company “Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.

As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office.

“Some people give you a nickname for ‘Four dollars a bucket’. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.

“Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because ‘Four dollars a bucket’ is our company’s advertisement. As long as someone calls me ‘Four dollars a bucket’ once, I think it’s a free advertisement for our company. I have no reason to get angry. Don’t you think so, Mr. Rockefeller?”

“Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!”

Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller.

Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don’t think we should feel frustrated when we have no way to do the world-shaking things. We should treat everything actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!”

Got big plans for Friday night? That’s OK, we don’t either.

Guess we’ll all have to make do by watching the celestial (天空的)show that will take place that night.

First, there will be a full moon. That’s always fun, but this one will be a little more special. It’s known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

But if that’s not special enough, there’s also an eclipse (月食)that night. It’ll be a penumbral lunar eclipse, meaning ifs a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth’s shadow. No, it won’t be as spectacular as those “blood moon” eclipses. It’ll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.

In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m. ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m. ET.

If that’s still not enough, let’s throw in a comet (彗星)to the night’s festivities.

Comet 45P (it has a much longer name, but we won’t burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.

Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m. ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.

And don’t forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.

1.According to the text, what can be viewed on Friday night?

Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus (校园) of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem — how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.

Some parts of most modem buildings — theaters and offices as well as classrooms, are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned (使用空调的) even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing (再分配) it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.

Along the way, Pittsburgh has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces. We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard working overweight mate genius.

1.The heat in the heating system of the Johnstown campus is supplied ________.

A. by human bodies

B. by both human bodies and other heat-giving objects

C. by both human bodies and commonly used fuel

D. by human bodies, commonly used fuel and other heat-giving objects

2.According to the passage, the technique of heat recovery is used ________.

A. to find the producers of heat

B. to provide heat for the hot water system

C. to make the campus more beautiful

D. to collect heat and reuse it

3.The underlined phrase “the hottest prospect” in this passage refers to ________.

A. the person who suffers most from heat

B. the person who needs more heat than others

C. the person who gives off most heat

D. the person who makes better use of heat

4.Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

A. A New Heat Recovery System in Pitt

B. Modern Building’s Heat System

C. Body Heat and Its Producers

D. Ways of Heating Building
