My track and field coach, Mr Jones, had decided to get the team to take part in the 4x100m race. It would be the first time that we were running in such a race. We needed to work as a team to improve on our speed. The most critical moment was the passing of the baton (接力棒) at the right time to the next runner.
Mr Jones had chosen me to start the race. The next runner would be Susan. In the beginning, whenever we practised passing the baton, something would go terribly wrong. I would either be going too slowly or she would be taking off too late. We needed to perfect it. At the same time, I had to make sure that I would not go beyond the yellow line.
Finally it was the day of the race. We were confident that the gold medal would be ours. Each of us had improved in our running speed. Our passing of the baton had been perfected during the practices.
My reactions were exact and accurate as I started running. Everything felt the way it should as I sprinted towards Susan. I held the baton in my sweaty palms, promising myself not to let go. My long legs moved me as fast as I could go round the comer. As I came closer to my final steps, my heart was beating faster than usual. The cheering by the spectators (观众) got into me and I became nervous. “What if we lose?” I thought to myself. It was then that I saw Susan in the far distance.
I held out the baton and continued running quickly towards Susan. Susan yelled “Slow down, slow down!” However, it was too late. The official held up the red flag. It was then that I realized that I had gone beyond the yellow line.

Teenagers’ acting selfishly could be down to the wiring in their brains, scientists said recently.
Teenagers hardly use the area of the brain that analyzes other’s emotions and thoughts when considering a course of action.They are also less likely to consider their own emotions than adults do, said scientist Dr Sarahjayne Blakemore, from University College London.
Many areas of the brain change dramatically during the teenage years, with one part ---- the medial prefrontal cortex(内侧前额叶皮层) ---- continuing to develop way beyond adolescence.This is an area at the front of the brain associated with higher-level thinking, empathy (同情), guilt and understanding other people’s motivations(动机).
The researchers say they have now found that, when making decisions about what action to take, the medial prefrontal cortex is underused in teenagers.Instead, a back area of the brain involved in sensing and imagining actions, takes over.
Dr.Blakemore said: “Thinking methods change with age.As you get older you use more or less the same brain network to make decisions about your actions but the important difference is that the distribution of that brain activity shifts(改变方向) from the back of the brain to the front.
“We think that a teenager’s judgment of what they would do in a given situation is driven by the simple question: ‘What would I do?’.Adults, on the other hand, ask: ‘what would I do, given how I would feel and given how the people around me would feel as a result of my actions?”
In the study, teenagers and adults were asked questions about the actions they would take in a given situation while their brains were scanned using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.A second piece of research showed teenagers were less likely to think about how they would feel in another person’s shoes.
Dr Blakemore concluded: “ It is clear that teenagers are dealing with, not only massive hormonal shifts(激素变化), but also important neural(神经系统的) changes.”
1.When teens decide to take action, they ________.
A.ask too many questions
B.hardly use the brain network
C.use the brain activity more than adults
D.hardly consider other people’s emotions
2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “underused”?
A.often used B.being developed C. wrongly used D.not used enough
3.The purpose of writing this passage is to ______________.
A.blame teenagers for their selfish behavior
B.advise teenagers not to be selfish
C.show how to change a selfish teenager
D.explain why teenagers act selfishly

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
“Oh, my God! Did I really just send that text?” Most people have said something that they wish they could take back. And if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesn’t pay off just when you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out.
In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. One area creates and processes emotions; the other governs logical thought. The type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence.
But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of one’s actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fully developed until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively--it’s how their brains are structured! Though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. This openness helps teens become independent adults.
The key to making impulsivity work for you--instead of against you--is to train your brain by practicing pausing. This doesn’t mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences. But you won’t know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity.
What are different ways to pause? You might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask, “Is this worth it?” Different strategies work for different people. Whatever works for you, keep doing it! By practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. This means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your “natural” response. And with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control--even if they weren’t natural--born pausers!
1.What challenges teenagers________?
A. Giving natural response.
B. Making logical decision.
C. Acting before thorough thinking.
D. Choosing brain-training strategies.
2.An impulsive person tends to __________.
A. think through a risk in advance
B. show high level of self-control
C. consider or accept new ideas
D. change ideas frequently
3.According to the passage, by training one’s brain, one can __________.
A. stop taking risks
B. fully develop one’s brain
C. become more open to new experience
D. reduce the influence of emotional drive
4.What is the best title for the passage________?
A. Discover the Brain Function
B. Crying Over the Spilt Milk
C. Push the Pause Button
D. Impulsivity Works
