A University of lowa(UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.‎ ‎"For the teenager, 'the rewards are attractive." says Professor Jatin Vaidya，an author of the study. "They draw adolescent. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults ."‎ For parents,that means limiting distraction (分心的事情）so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. "I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed access to technology," Vaidya says. But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills.”‎ In their study,Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive（冲动的)，make bad decisions，and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes（额叶）of their trains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered. whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.‎ ‎"We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system how it change from childhood to adulthood," Says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an ‎ under-developed frontal lobe,”he adds.For their study ,the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16,and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.‎ In the future,researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological（神经学上的）aspects of their results.‎ ‎8. What does the passage mainly tell us?‎ A. The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.‎ B. Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.‎ C. Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.‎ D. Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.‎ ‎9. Which statement agrees with Vaidya's idea?‎ A. The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.‎ B. Parents should help children in making decisions.‎ C. Children should have access to the Internet.‎ D. Children need help in refocusing their attention.‎ ‎10. What result does teenagers' brain underdevelopment lead to?‎ A. Doing things after some thought.‎ B. Making good decisions.‎ C. Joining in dangerous actions.‎ D. Escaping risky behavior.‎ ‎11. How did the researchers carry out their study?‎ A. By making a comparison of brain examinations.‎ B. By examining adults’ brain.‎ C. By examining teenage brain.‎ D. By building the train’s reward system.‎ D Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world.‎ Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupunture，cupping ‎ and massage (针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on US.swimmer Michael Phelps' back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.‎ As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment.It is therefore disheartening to know that-while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture，not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.‎ Herbs, are made into pills,powder and soup, and the kind of herbs uscd1 their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately,standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.‎ Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity, While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria(疟疾）treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.‎ ‎12. The author mentions the example of Michael Phelps in order to show .‎ A. he was injured in his swimming.‎ B. cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.‎ C. westerners know a little about TCM.‎ D. westerners attach great importance to TCM.‎ ‎13. Why don't some member countries of WIIO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?‎ A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture C. Because western medicine 15 more effective D. Because medicine made out or Chinese herbs develops slowly ‎14. Compared with Western medicine，what is the main weak point of TCM ?‎ A. The methods of processing herbs.‎ B. The effectiveness of prescription.‎ C. Lacking in standardization.‎ D. Its unstable functions.‎ ‎15. The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that .‎ A. medicine-making companies lack creativity.‎ B. prescriptions are got from the past.‎ C. Western companies are more experienced.‎ D. medicine-making companies lack driving force 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能探入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Tolerance means tolerating or pulling up with differences.‎ ‎___16___This concept means different things to different people, but it is when something is disagreeable that tolerance is expected, and in more politically correct cultures, demanded.‎ There are many different ways to show tolerance.
