Japan. 知，实验在全球范围内的动物园进行，包括 英国和日本等地的动物园。这表明科学家 们选择不同地区的动物园作为研究场所，以 获取更广泛的数据样本。 3.Former第四段讲，照片中的另一只猿是研 究对象以前的群体伙伴。在文中，“former'” 这个词用来表示“以前的”，它被用来描述实 验中给猿展示的照片中的“前群体伙伴”。 4.the apes looked at different photos根据尾 段第二句“The animals looked at the photos of their groupmates for much longer.”可 知，科学家们使用眼动追踪技术来记录猿类 盯着不同照片看的时间长度。通过这种方 法，他们能够收集关于猿类识别能力的数 据，因为长时间关注某个照片对象意昧着猿 可能已经认出了该个体。 5.26 years由文章最后可知，在研究中，一只 名叫路易斯的倭黑猩猩，在与家族成员分开 长达26年后还能认出其中的两位。这进一 步证明了猿类即便在长期分离后也能保持 对熟悉个体的记忆。 【词汇收藏】 prove/pruv/o.证明是；被发现是 recognize/'rekagnaiz/u.认出；认识 subject/'sAbd3ikt/n.实验对象；学科 track /traek/u.跟踪；追踪

With the help of brain imaging technology(大脑成像技术)，scientists have studied the development of the brain.1 Fun Facts About the Brain Our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six.2 Through these changes,we can better balance our impulses()with the need to follow rules.But when we are young,our still-developing brains can't do it well.3 Studies show that teenagers are more likely to take risks.Some chemicals()produced by our brains can make us feel happy.When teenagers think of rewards(),their brains produce more of these chemicals than adult brains.4 This hunt for greater rewards can sometimes lead teenagers to make bad decisions.5 In the long run,the impulses of the teenage brain can help them leave the care of their parents. They can learn to become independent and live their own lives. A.As a result,we may do some "strange"things during our teenage years. B.We will never know what they will do next. C.Their findings explain why teenagers act the way they do. D.No scientists can tell us the main reason clearly. E.This makes teenagers feel that the rewards are more important than the risks.
