B. Eat what you like

C. Learn what you love

D. Get to bed and go to sleep

E. Body exercise is brain exercise

F. Learn the power of risk taking

How would you like to learn more without having to study more? Here’s how:

1._____________. Your performance, attention, and the ability to concentrate(集中) are damaged by shortness of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep a night for best performance(表现).

2.______________. The brain(大脑) runs badly if it doesn’t get enough fuel(燃料). That means protein(蛋白质) and complex carbs (复合碳水化合物)-eggs and wheat bread for breakfast, say, rather than sugary cereal(含糖的麦片粥) and orange juice. The biggest mistake teens make is not to have breakfast or to go for sugar, which raises blood sugar levels.

3.______________. Body exercise really improves brain performance, perhaps because it increases blood flow, or perhaps because it makes stress and anxiety(焦虑) smaller. Twenty minutes of activity a day that raises your heart rate will do great good.

Learn now what you want to remember for the rest of your life. Teenage brains are much better at remembering things than the brains of young children or adults(成年人). Scientists aren’t sure why. Whatever the reason, the teenage years are the time to learn new languages and master(掌握) other lifelong skills.

4._____________. Adults are always worried about the downside(下降) of teenage risk(冒险) taking, and it’s true that teenagers are more likely than adults to get themselves in trouble by drinking and driving. But the fact that the parts of the brain that drive people to try new, risky, and exciting things appear to be more developed in teenagers can be a huge advantage. Pick certain challenges-difficult sports, a hard job, mastering a performance art, traveling overseas-and the teenage brain is able to deal with them. They have this power they’re given to go out and do it without fear.

5.______________. Because emotional(情感的) systems develop fast in teenager brains, teenagers learn things they’re interested in quickly and well. Their brains give them tools like attention on the project.

 

1.D

2.A

3.E

4.F

5.C

Dear Guys,
I’d like to talk to you about the shame you subjected me to last night. Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit, young men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. I, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. That’s when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.
One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to you. Fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed.
Before I continue, let me explain something that I didn’t have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. I’m bad at aiming too. So you can understand why I’d be nervous at what I’m sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request.
However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, and threw it as hard as I could.
It hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me.
Trying to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, and then picked up the ball again. If you’ll remember, at your command, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, oh God, oh please oh please oh please. I threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next.
The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me.
This is the point where I start to take issue with you. Wouldn’t it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? I was clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless.
Seeing that you weren’t going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding back. I tried hard to throw the ball but it only went about eight feet, then I decided to pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel.
Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories aside and picked up the soccer ball for the third time. I forced a good-natured laugh while crying inside as you patiently shouted words of support over the fence at me.
“Throw it granny-style!” one of you said.
“Just back up a little and give it all you’ve got!” another offered.
And, most embarrassing of all, “You can do it!”
I know you thought you were being encouraging, but it only served to deepen the shame.
Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly.
It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me.
I surprised myself—and I’m sure you as well—by letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!!!” I then willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so I’d be put out of my misery.
Alas, the heart attack didn’t happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had become a sort of exhibition for you. I could feel your collective thoughts drifting through the chain-link: “Can she really not do it? But I mean, really?”
Unfortunately for you, I wasn’t really game to continue your experiment. Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two-minute period were just enough blows for me for one night. I picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just come get the damn ball.”
And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at people who play sports.
Sincerely, Jen Cordery
