18. \"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 (逻辑的)thought is not fully developed until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively(冲动地)---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 to 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! 8. What challenges teenagers?
A. Giving natural response. B. Making logical decision.
C. Acting before thorough thinking. D. Choosing brain-training strategies. 9. An impulsive person tends to____.
A. consider or accept new ideas B. change ideas frequently C. think through a risk in advance D. show high level of self-control 10. 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 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Push the Pause Button B. Impulsivity Works
C. Discover the Brain Function D. Crying Over the Spilt Milk
参考答案：
8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A
文章主要讲的是影响人们做决定的因素。科学研究发现，在做事情之前，停下来思考一下是很有必要的。人们依靠大脑的两个区域来作出决定，一个区域产生情绪，另一个区域控制着逻辑思维。 8. B 细节理解题。根据文中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.”可知，对于青少年来说，考虑行为的后果是比较困难的，因为他们的大脑中，控制逻辑思维的区域尚未发育完全。故选B。
9. A 推理判断题。根据文中it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. This openness helps teens become independent adults”可知，青少年时期的冲动使青少年更容易接受新事物和新想法。故选A。
10. D 推理判断题。根据文中This doesn’t mean you stop taking risks”排除A；根据第四段“Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity.”可知，基于逻辑思考的冒险决定显示了一个人的自控能力，而不是冲动，说明通过训练，在做决定时，人们更加能够使用逻辑思维，减少情绪的影响，故选D。
11. A 主旨大意题。根据文中making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out”和第四段“The key to making impulsivity work for you...is to train your brain by practicing pausing.”与第五段“What are different ways to pause?”可知，文章主要讲的是养成暂停的习惯，在做事情之前，应该停下来仔细考虑一下。故选A。 【名师点睛】
主旨大意主要的解题策略有：
（1）标题类。文章标题可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子，它的特点是：短小精悍，多为一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小；精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。例如，本文的第4小题，属于主旨大意的（1）标题类。...
【答案定位】根据文中making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out”和第四段“The key to making impulsivity work for you...is to train your brain by practicing pausing.”与第五段“What are different ways to pause?”可知，文章主要讲的是养成暂停的习惯，在做事情之前，应该停下来仔细考虑一下。
