What were you like as a teenager I was a nightmare I was rude to my parents always stayed out late never did my homework hung out with the wrong people and made many 1 decisions Apparently this is the age when teenagers are out of control and 2 badly If you're a teenager now you think this is 3 criticism or it's not your fault Well you might be 4
Experts have found that it's a teenager's brain that is to 5 Between the ages of approximately 13 to 19 the brain is still developing in areas that 6 behaviour This has a (n) 7 on learning and multitasking stress and memory sleep addiction and decision making This is quite a new 8 says Professor Sarah When I was at university the dogma(教条) in the textbooks was that the vast brain 9 goes on in the first few years of life and nothing much changes after midchildhood That dogma is completely 10
So our brains are still developing much later than we originally thought Is this the perfect excuse for teenagers to 11 and not get their homework done on time It's something to do with our prefrontal cortex(前额皮层) It's involved in many highlevel cognitive (认知) 12 such as decisionmaking and planning This region is undergoing large amounts of development during the adolescent years For a(n) 13 this hasn't developed yet So getting organised to do their homework for example can be a bit challenging
I wish I'd known about this early instead of telling my 14 I'd left my homework on the bus or that the dog had eaten it Now I could say Sorry sir my 15 isn't developed enough for the cognitive task of planning my homework

Choosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it researchers at the University of Texas discovered Their findings suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience more attention should be focused on it
Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to forget something out of our own free will but how our brains do that is still being questioned Once we can figure out how memories are weakened and come up with ways to control this we can design treatment to help people rid themselves of unwanted memories said Jarrod LewisPeacock the study's senior author
Memories are energetic constructions of the brain that regularly get updated adjusted and reorganised through experience The brain is constantly remembering and forgetting information—and much of this happens automatically during sleep
Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget but that successful intentional forgetting requires more activity than what is required to remember
A proper level of brain activity is important to this forgetting mechanism(机制) Too strong it will strengthen the memory too weak you won't change it said Tracy Wang lead author of the study Importantly it's the intention to forget that increases the activation(激活) of the memory and when this activation hits the sweet spot it leads to later forgetting of that experience
The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces We're learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information and it will take a lot of further research before we understand how to use our ability to forget said LewisPeacock Hopefully we can find out how we process and get rid of those really strong memories which can have a powerful effect on our health and wellbeing
1What remains a puzzle to researchers
AHow our memories can be strengthened
BHow our brains voluntarily forget something
CWhat effect unwanted memories have on our brains
DWhether our brains can voluntarily forget something
2Which of the following words can best describe memories

3It can be learnt from the text that_________
Ait requires less attention to forget than to remember
Bthe more active the brain is the faster it forgets
Chumans can't keep memories under control
Dhumans forget faces less easily than scenes
4What can be a suitable title for the text

BStrong Memories Have a Great Influence on Health
CForgetting Uses More Brain Power than Remembering
DHow to Train Our Brains to Voluntarily Forget Something
