19．Ten Chinese engineers were driving down a road to a National Forest Park．They were（71）suddenly（sudden） amazed by what they saw．Three tall animals，（72）covered（cover） with long black hair，were crossing the road．On（73）seeing （see） the animals，the engineers immediately stopped and ran after them．However，when they saw（74）them move through the forest with great speed and strength，they did not dare to follow any（75）farther/further （far）．
The men did not take any photographs but scientists were delighted by the（76）discovery（discover），because the engineers are all well educated people and scientists feel they can rely （77）onwhat they described．
Scientists returned to the forest，collected some hair and measured footprints，（78）which are about 20inches．They appear to be the animals'feet!Chinese scientists have now set up a special group to exchange information and made a study of the forest，（79）but in the meantime，some people refuse to believe that this half-man，half-monkey（80）exists（exist）．They will not believe it until one of the animals has been caught．

5．one of the popular views regarding teenagers is that they are poor decision makers and engage in risky behavior．This popular view is usually explained in terms of the teenage brain （or mind） being immature and lacking the reasoning abilities of adults．Of course，adults often engage in poor decision-making and risky behavior too．
Currently，one plausible hypothesis （似乎正确的假说） is that teenagers differ from adults in terms of how they evaluate the value of a reward．The main difference is that teenagers place higher value on rewards （at least certain rewards） than adults．If this is correct，it certainly makes sense that teenagers are more willing than adults to engage in risk taking．
Obviously enough，adults also vary in their willingness to take risks and some of this difference is，presumably，a matter of the value the adults place on the rewards relative to the risks．So，for example，if Sam values the enjoyment of rock climbing more than Sally，then Sam will （somewhat） rationally accept more risks in regards to rock climbing than Sally．Assuming that teenagers generally value rewards more than adults do，then the greater risk taking behavior of teens relative to adults makes considerable sense．
It might be wondered why teenagers place more value on rewards than adults．One popular theory is based on the workings of the brain．From this point of view，the sensitivity of the human brain to dopamine and oxytocin peaks during the teenage years．Dopamine is a neurotransmitter （神经介质） that is supposed to trigger （激活） the"reward"mechanisms （过程） of the brain．Oxytocin is another neurotransmitter，one that is also linked with the"reward"mechanisms as well as social activity．Assuming that the teenage brain is more sensitive to these chemicals，then it makes sense that teenagers would place more value on rewards．This is because they do，in fact，get a greater reward than adults．Or，more accurately，they feel more rewarded．This，of course，might be one and the same thing-perhaps the value of a reward is a matter of how rewarded a person feels．This does raise an interesting subject，namely whether the value of a reward is a subjective or objective matter．
Adults are often critical of what they regard as teens'unwise risk behavior．While my teen years are well behind me，I have looked back on some of my decisions that seemed like good ideas at the time．Yet my adult assessment is that they were not good decisions．However，I have to admit that my adult self now judges my kid self rather unfairly．After all，there does seem to be considerable relativity to value and it seems to be mere prejudice （偏见） to say that my current evaluation should be automatically taken as being better than the evaluations of the past．
