10、ormed the same experiment with another adult, the reply to the same question was, “I think youre a very interesting person.” Even if the adult felt the same way as the child, his brain allowed him to take a moment，consider the question, and come up with an answer. He could have been annoyed, but his

11、 answer didnt reflect it because he was being polite.The secret lies in the science of the developing brain.The childs honest answer was reflected in the fact that his brain wasnt equipped to filter(過濾) information before answering the question.As a result, he was honest, but he said something that

12、may have been hurtful.However, the child did not intentionally hurt the adult; its just the way his brain works.As a child grows into adolescence and then into adulthood, that changes.The human brain is made up of billions of neurons(神經(jīng)元). In order for our body to execute a command, like getting up

13、from a chair and walking to the other room, the neurons in the brain have to communicate with each other. They also help us employ our senses like taste and touch and help us remember things.When the neurons send messages, perhaps one sensation(感覺) the person feels is excitement about eating a cooki

14、e because it is so delicious. Later, if that person smells a cookie or hears someone talking about a cookie, it can spark the electrical signals that call up the memory of eating the delicious cookie. In an adult, he or she may remember that eating too many cookies can have consequences, like weight

15、 gain.But because the younger brain is more impulsive(沖動的), the desire to feel the pleasure of the sweet treat outweighs the consequences.That is because when a child is young, his brain is “wired” in such a way that he seeks pleasure and is more willing to take risks than an adult.This affects his

16、decision-making process and it is why younger people tend to be more impulsive. Sometimes parents have to tell their children over and over again before the child remembers that something is dangerous or risky. How many times have we heard a parent say, “I tell her this all the time, but she never l

17、istens！”To conclude, what we know about the young brain is that children are more likely than adults to be impulsive.It isnt always necessarily because they are being naughty; it may very well be because of their brains. So the next time you ask a child what he really thinks of you, be prepared for

18、any kind of answer.Decoding the young brainAn experiment on a young childA young child answered the question _71_ the top of his head while an adult paused, and _72_ twice before he found an answer.Causes of the _73_ reflected in the experimentThe developing brain of the young child contributed to h

22、l or offensive answers.參考答案：71. off 72. thought 73. phenomenon 74. although/though 75. making 76. associate 77. Tendency 78. dangerous 79. stronger/greater 80. necessarily這是一篇說明文。說明了小孩子說一些傷人的、冒犯性的語言并不是故意為之，而是因?yàn)閮和拇竽X還沒有發(fā)育完全，不具備在回答問題前過濾信息的功能導(dǎo)致的。【71題詳解】由第一段“What do you think about me？” The child answer

23、ed, “You talk too much.”可知，對于提出的問題，孩子的回答總是答非所問，脫離話題。故填off“脫離；離開”?！?2題詳解】第一段最后一句“his brain allowed him to take a moment，consider the question, and come up with an answer”可知孩子得出答案前總是會考慮再三。且實(shí)驗(yàn)已經(jīng)發(fā)生在過去，故填一般過去時thought。【73題詳解】第一段通過實(shí)驗(yàn)引出后文中分析造成這種現(xiàn)象的原因，故填phenomenon?！?4題詳解】由第二段倒數(shù)第二句“As a result, he was honest,

24、 but he said something that may have been hurtful. However, the child did not intentionally hurt the adult;”可知雖然孩子會說一些傷人的話，但是他們并不是有意的。故第四題填連詞although/though“雖然；盡管”?！?5題詳解】第三段第一句“The human brain is made up of billions of neurons”可知數(shù)十億的神經(jīng)元組成了人類的大腦。本句已經(jīng)存在非謂語動詞have，故make做非謂語與邏輯主語構(gòu)成主謂關(guān)系，故填making?！?6題詳解】第

25、三段最后一句“They also help us employ our senses like taste and touch and help us remember things.”可知神經(jīng)元通過味覺或者觸覺幫助我們記住事物，故一個人可能會把餅干的味道和吃餅干的記憶聯(lián)系起來。故填associate?！?7題詳解】第五段第一句“That is because when a child is young, his brain is “wired” in such a way that he seeks pleasure and is more willing to take risks tha

26、n an adult.”（孩子的大腦就會以一種“連線”的方式來尋找快樂，并且比成年人更愿意冒險(xiǎn)。）故可知一個年幼的孩子有一種尋求快樂和冒險(xiǎn)的自然傾向，這是由他幼小的大腦決定的。故填tendency“傾向；趨勢”。【78題詳解】第五段倒數(shù)第一、二句 “Sometimes parents have to tell their children over and over again before the child remembers that something is dangerous or risky. How many times have we heard a parent say, “

27、I tell her this all the time, but she never listens！”可知即使父母警告過多次，孩子還是會去嘗試危險(xiǎn)和冒險(xiǎn)的食物。故填dangerous?！?9題詳解】由最后一段第一句“what we know about the young brain is that children are more likely than adults to be impulsive.”可知成年人比小孩子控制沖動的能力更強(qiáng)、更好。故填stronger或greater。【80題詳解】最后一段第二句“It isnt always necessarily because th

28、ey are being naughty; it may very well be because of their brains.”可知因?yàn)榇竽X構(gòu)造的關(guān)系，小孩子說一些傷人的、冒犯性的語言并不一定總是因?yàn)樘詺?。故填necessarily。三、 閱讀理解17. Benin is one of the smallest African states.
