THE BIOLOGY OF RISK
A diver descends into an underwater cave, a scientist researchesa dangerous disease, and an entrepreneur invests in a new business.
Each time we try something new, we take a risk Sometimes, like the diver or the businessman, we take big risks, usually for
obvious reasons-for fame, for money, or to save lives Most people will take some risk to achieve one of these goals But as the
danger increases, the number of people willing to go forward decreases Only extreme risk-takers continue on The question is:
What exactly drives these people to go on when others would stop?
To answer this question, scientists are studying the biological factors involved in risk-taking Their research focuses on certain
chemicals in the brain An important chemical in risk-taking is dopamine It motivates us to seek out and learn new things, and it helps us process emotions like anxiety and fear People whose brains don’t produce enough dopamine often lack motivation and
interest in life.
On the other hand, “someone who takes risks to accomplish something-to climb a mountain or start a company-that's driven by
motivation, and motivation is driven by dopamine," says Larry Zweifel, a neurobiologist at the University of Washington “It’s
what compels humans to move forward."
When wc accomplish a task, dopamine produces a feeling of satisfaction; it makes us feel good The riskier the task, the more dopamine we produce, and the better we feel Given this, why isn’t everyone trying to climb mountains or start businesses? In part, it's because of small molecules called autorcceptors These receptors control dopamine use in the brain A person with more autoreceptors tends to be more careful, as there is less dopamine moving freely around his or her brain “Think of dopamine like
gasoline," says neuropsychologist David Zaid The autoreceptors, on the other hand, are like the brakes on a car A person who is less able to use brakes is more likely to take risks.
Dealing with Fear
Dopamine production may make us feel good, but being in a high-risk situation for an extended period of time is also stressful
and can be dangerous Successful risk-takers must learn to deal with the fear associated with high-risk situations to reduce stress and stay safe.
In reality, adapting to risk is something we all learn to do Take, for example, learning to drive a car At first, a new driver may be afraid to travel on freeways In time, though, as the driver gains experience, he or she will move comfortably into speeding traffic and will worry less about the danger Similarly, a tightrope walker first learns to walk on a beam on the ground Later, he or
she moves to a rope just off the ground, and then finally to the high wire By this point, the tightrope walker is in control and the activity doesn't feel dangerous By practising a challenging activity, humans can become used to the risk, manage the danger, and
control the fear that they feel in those situations.
The work that marine biologist and deep-sea diver Rhian Waller does illustrates this well She studies life in some of the deepest and coldest waters on Earth How does Waller control her fear and stay safe in these high-risk situations?
“It comes with practice," she says "It’s knowing exactly what to do when something goes wrong We prepare well for each of our expeditions, and we try to minimize the number of risks we take."
Of course, a person doesn't have to be a tightrope walker or a deep-sea diver to be a risk-taker Taking risks is part of being human We are all motivated to experience new things In order to do so., we have to take chances and, of course, we may fail.
19 According to the article, what is a common reason for people to take large risks?
20 What can we infer about marine biologist Rhian Waller?
A She prefers to do her job when there is danger involved.B She has been afraid of the ocean for most of her life.C She thinks it is impossible to prepare for most risksD She has learned to adapt to risk.
21 What do autoreceptors do?
A They connect molecules in our brain.B They make us less careful.C They control dopamine in our brain.D They make us feel better.
22 The word just (line 28) could be replaced with
23 What is the purpose of paragraph 5 (In reality, adapting to risk….)?
A to illustrate how some people are attracted to risky activities while others aren’tB to show why driving and tightrope walking are such risky activities
DeThi.edu.vn
Trang 3C to explain why some activities are riskier and more dangerous than othersD to give examples of how practising a risky activity can reduce fear of it
24 What is one of the main functions of dopamine?
A It helps us process emotions.B It makes us fear dangerous situations.
25 The phrase “used to is closest in meaning to
26 The following sentence would best be placed al the end of which paragraph?

HOW TO BE A TEENAGER AND SURVIVE?
Being a teenager in these troubled times isn’t exactly a walk in the park The uncertainty only adds to the typical list of problems you're already facing So, what are the challenges you are up against and how can you weather the storm and arrive safely on the other side?
As a teenager, the biggest challenge you, your family and friends face is mood swings One minute you feel ecstatic, full of confidence and optimism, and the next you feel depressed, angry at the world and certain that you are a failure Personal
appearance also becomes a huge issue The hormones racing through your body play havoc with your self-image Suddenly, you
have become too fat, too thin, too ugly, too short, too tall; your hair is too dark, too light, too curly, too straight, etc In short, you are completely dissatisfied with your appearance.
Relationships with others also become more complicated You may find you no longer have that much in common with the friends you've been hanging around with for years It can also be distressing when a former best friend now prefers to spend time with other friends As for family relationships, well, it often seems that a war has been declared, and parents and siblings have become the enemy.
But it needn't all be doom and gloom The teenage years are unique in a person's life They mark the end of childhood and the important passage to adulthood The key to a happy 'teenhood' is to recognise that no matter how your emotions change or how insecure you feel about yourself, you are perfectly normal! Everyone, big and small, experiences feelings of depression and anxiety from time to time But here are a few tips to help you get through your darkest moments.
Communication has got to be the first tip If you keep negative feelings in, you'll reach a point where you think you're going to explode Confide n someone about how you are feeling with someone you can trust Even if they can't give you the advice you need, just getting it off your chest can make a world of difference.
But, what can you do if you're at exploding point and there's no one to talk to? If you want to avoid conflict with others, go somewhere on your own for a minute or two to process things Take time to breathe properly, when we are in stressful situations our breathing becomes short and rushed, and as a result less oxygen reaches the brain.This can heighten negative feelings that we have One technique is to close one nostril with your thumb and inhale, then close the other nostril with your index finger and exhale as you release your thumb from the first nostril Do this at least ten times and your breathing will return to normal and you will feel much calmer in next to no time.
Physical exercise like running, cycling and swimming are also great ways to clear the mind and they have the added bonus of keeping you fit If you do this whenever you're down, you'll also start to feel better about yourself and your body There's no need to push yourself to the limits, though Listen to your body and stop when it says, 'No more.'
Finally, always try to focus on the positive aspects of your life Being a teenager means you have more freedom Use it in constructive ways so that feelings offrustration are replaced by feelings of accomplishment.
27 As a result of the current world situation,
A everyone has the same problems.B the problems confronting teenagers have changed completely.C teenagers are coping better than others.D people feel insecure about the future.
28 During the teenage years,
A best friends always grow apart.
B personal appearance becomes the most important aspect of a teenager's life.C family members always stop talking to one another.
D hormonal changes can make young people dissatisfied with how they look.
29 Teenagers often have to deal with
C the anger of relatives and friends.D sudden emotional changes.
30 What does the word 'unique' in paragraph 4 tell us about the teen years?
A They cause a lot of anxiety.B They are a very special time in our lives.C All teenagers experience them in the same way.D Teenagers ought to be happier.
31 According to the writer, angry teenagers feel better
A by bottling up their feelings,B by listening to the advice of others.

THE BIOLOGY OF RISK
A diver descends into an underwater cave, a scientist researchesa dangerous disease, and an entrepreneur invests in a new business.
Each time we try something new, we take a risk Sometimes, like the diver or the businessman, we take big risks, usually for
obvious reasons-for fame, for money, or to save lives Most people will take some risk to achieve one of these goals But as the
DeThi.edu.vn
Trang 7danger increases, the number of people willing to go forward decreases Only extreme risk-takers continue on The question is:
What exactly drives these people to go on when others would stop?
To answer this question, scientists are studying the biological factors involved in risk-taking Their research focuses on certain
chemicals in the brain An important chemical in risk-taking is dopamine It motivates us to seek out and learn new things, and it helps us process emotions like anxiety and fear People whose brains don’t produce enough dopamine often lack motivation and
interest in life.
On the other hand, “someone who takes risks to accomplish something-to climb a mountain or start a company-that's driven by
motivation, and motivation is driven by dopamine," says Larry Zweifel, a neurobiologist at the University of Washington “It’s
what compels humans to move forward."
When wc accomplish a task, dopamine produces a feeling of satisfaction; it makes us feel good The riskier the task, the more dopamine we produce, and the better we feel Given this, why isn’t everyone trying to climb mountains or start businesses? In part, it's because of small molecules called autorcceptors These receptors control dopamine use in the brain A person with more autoreceptors tends to be more careful, as there is less dopamine moving freely around his or her brain “Think of dopamine like
gasoline," says neuropsychologist David Zaid The autoreceptors, on the other hand, are like the brakes on a car A person who is less able to use brakes is more likely to take risks.
Dealing with Fear
Dopamine production may make us feel good, but being in a high-risk situation for an extended period of time is also stressful
and can be dangerous Successful risk-takers must learn to deal with the fear associated with high-risk situations to reduce stress and stay safe.
In reality, adapting to risk is something we all learn to do Take, for example, learning to drive a car At first, a new driver may be afraid to travel on freeways In time, though, as the driver gains experience, he or she will move comfortably into speeding traffic and will worry less about the danger Similarly, a tightrope walker first learns to walk on a beam on the ground Later, he or
she moves to a rope just off the ground, and then finally to the high wire By this point, the tightrope walker is in control and the activity doesn't feel dangerous By practising a challenging activity, humans can become used to the risk, manage the danger, and
control the fear that they feel in those situations.
The work that marine biologist and deep-sea diver Rhian Waller does illustrates this well She studies life in some of the deepest and coldest waters on Earth How does Waller control her fear and stay safe in these high-risk situations?
“It comes with practice," she says "It’s knowing exactly what to do when something goes wrong We prepare well for each of our expeditions, and we try to minimize the number of risks we take."
Of course, a person doesn't have to be a tightrope walker or a deep-sea diver to be a risk-taker Taking risks is part of being human We are all motivated to experience new things In order to do so., we have to take chances and, of course, we may fail.
24 According to the article, what is a common reason for people to take large risks?
25 The word just (line 27) could be replaced with
26 What is one of the main functions of dopamine?
A It makes us fear dangerous situations.B It allows us to talk
C It allows us to be alert.D It helps us process emotions.
27 What do autoreceptors do?
A They make us less careful.B They control dopamine in our brain.C They make us feel better.D They connect molecules in our brain.
28 What is the purpose of paragraph 5 (In reality, adapting to risk….)?
A to give examples of how practising a risky activity can reduce fear of it
B to illustrate how some people are attracted to risky activities while others aren’tC to show why driving and tightrope walking are such risky activities
D to explain why some activities are riskier and more dangerous than others
29 What can we infer about marine biologist Rhian Waller?
A She has been afraid of the ocean for most of her life.B She prefers to do her job when there is danger involved.C She thinks it is impossible to prepare for most risksD She has learned to adapt to risk.

As a teenager, the biggest challenge you, your family and friends face is mood swings One minute you feel ecstatic, full of confidence and optimism, and the next you feel depressed, angry at the world and certain that you are a failure Personal
appearance also becomes a huge issue The hormones racing through your body play havoc with your self-image Suddenly, you
have become too fat, too thin, too ugly, too short, too tall; your hair is too dark, too light, too curly, too straight, etc In short, you are completely dissatisfied with your appearance.
Relationships with others also become more complicated You may find you no longer have that much in common with the friends you've been hanging around with for years It can also be distressing when a former best friend now prefers to spend time with other friends As for family relationships, well, it often seems that a war has been declared, and parents and siblings have become the enemy.
But it needn't all be doom and gloom The teenage years are unique in a person's life They mark the end of childhood and the important passage to adulthood The key to a happy 'teenhood' is to recognise that no matter how your emotions change or how insecure you feel about yourself, you are perfectly normal! Everyone, big and small, experiences feelings of depression and anxiety from time to time But here are a few tips to help you get through your darkest moments.
Communication has got to be the first tip If you keep negative feelings in, you'll reach a point where you think you're going to explode Confide n someone about how you are feeling with someone you can trust Even if they can't give you the advice you need, just getting it off your chest can make a world of difference.
But, what can you do if you're at exploding point and there's no one to talk to? If you want to avoid conflict with others, go somewhere on your own for a minute or two to process things Take time to breathe properly, when we are in stressful situations our breathing becomes short and rushed, and as a result less oxygen reaches the brain.This can heighten negative feelings that we have One technique is to close one nostril with your thumb and inhale, then close the other nostril with your index finger and exhale as you release your thumb from the first nostril Do this at least ten times and your breathing will return to normal and you will feel much calmer in next to no time.
Physical exercise like running, cycling and swimming are also great ways to clear the mind and they have the added bonus of keeping you fit If you do this whenever you're down, you'll also start to feel better about yourself and your body There's no need to push yourself to the limits, though Listen to your body and stop when it says, 'No more.'
Finally, always try to focus on the positive aspects of your life Being a teenager means you have more freedom Use it in constructive ways so that feelings offrustration are replaced by feelings of accomplishment.
