Task III Understand common teenage struggles
A
A recent survey conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health asked 2,000 teenagers aged 13-17 about their biggest concerns and challenges during adolescence. The results showed that academic pressure, body image issues, and social relationships were the top three worries for most teenagers.
Nearly 75% of the respondents said that getting good grades and getting into a good college was their biggest concern. Many teenagers reported feeling stressed about homework, exams, and the expectations of their parents and teachers. Some even said that they had trouble sleeping or eating because of the pressure.
Body image issues were the second most common concern, with 62% of teenagers saying that they felt insecure about their appearance. Girls were more likely to report feeling unhappy with their bodies than boys, but boys also struggled with body image issues, especially related to their height and muscle mass.
Social relationships were the third biggest worry for teenagers. Many said that they felt pressure to fit in with their peers and be popular. Some reported feeling lonely or isolated, while others had problems with bullying or conflicts with friends.
Other concerns mentioned in the survey included mental health issues, family problems, and uncertainty about the future. The survey also found that many teenagers were reluctant to talk about their feelings with adults, and that only about 30% had sought help from a counselor or therapist.
The researchers who conducted the survey said that the results highlight the need for better support systems for teenagers. They recommended that schools and parents should provide more resources and education about mental health, and that teenagers should be encouraged to talk about their feelings and seek help when they need it.
26. What was the biggest concern for most teenagers according to the survey?
A. Body image issues B. Academic pressure C. Social relationships D. Mental health issues

Dear Teenagers,
I know that adolescence can be a difficult and confusing time. You are going through so many changes—physical, emotional, and social—and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. But I want you to know that you are not alone, and that there are things you can do to make this journey easier.
First of all, be kind to yourself. It’s okay to make mistakes and to not be perfect. Everyone struggles during adolescence, and that’s part of growing up. Don’t compare yourself to others—everyone’s journey is different, and you are on your own unique path.
Secondly, talk to someone you trust about your feelings. It can be a parent, a teacher, a friend, or a counselor. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside will only make things worse. When you talk about your problems, you will feel better, and you might even get some helpful advice.
Thirdly, take care of your physical health. Getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly can have a huge impact on your mood and mental health. When your body feels good, your mind will feel good too.
Fourthly, find something you love to do. Whether it’s painting, playing music, sports, or writing, having a hobby can help you relax and express yourself. It can also help you meet new people who share your interests.
Finally, remember that this too shall pass. The challenges you are facing now will not last forever. In a few years, you will look back and realize how much you have grown and how strong you have become.
I believe in you, and I know that you have the strength and courage to get through this. You are amazing just the way you are, and you have so much to offer the world.
With love and support,
A caring counselor

When Alex was 14 years old, he developed severe social anxiety. He became terrified of speaking in front of people, and he would avoid any situation where he might have to interact with strangers. He stopped going to parties, refused to raise his hand in class, and even had trouble ordering food at restaurants.
Alex’s parents were worried about him. They tried to encourage him to be more outgoing, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, they took him to see a therapist who specialized in anxiety disorders.
The therapist explained to Alex that social anxiety is a common problem, and that it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. She told him that there are effective treatments available, and that he could learn to manage his anxiety.
The therapist used a type of therapy called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help Alex. CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. Alex learned to identify the negative thoughts that were causing his anxiety, and to replace them with more positive and realistic ones.
He also learned relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, to help him calm down when he felt anxious. The therapist gradually exposed Alex to social situations in a safe and controlled way, starting with small interactions and working up to more challenging ones.
At first, it was very difficult for Alex. He would feel extremely nervous and would want to run away. But with the support of his therapist and his family, he kept practicing. Slowly but surely, his anxiety began to decrease.
After six months of therapy, Alex was able to give a presentation in front of his entire class. It was a huge achievement for him, and it gave him the confidence to keep going. Now, two years later, Alex is a confident and outgoing 16-year-old. He still gets nervous sometimes, but he knows how to manage his anxiety and not let it control his life.
Alex’s story shows that social anxiety is a treatable condition. If you are struggling with social anxiety or any other mental health issue, don’t be afraid to seek help. There are people who care about you and who can help you get better.
34. What problem did Alex have when he was 14?
A. He had severe social anxiety.
B. He was not good at his studies.
C. He had no friends at school.
D. He often fought with his parents.
35. What type of therapy did the therapist use to help Alex?
A. Art therapy. B. Music therapy. C. Cognitive-behavioral therapy. D. Play therapy.
36. How long did it take for Alex to be able to give a presentation in front of his class?
A. One month. B. Six months. C. One year. D. Two years.
37. What can we learn from Alex’s story?
A. Social anxiety is not treatable.
B. Only teenagers have social anxiety.
C. Seeking help can make a big difference.
D. Therapy is not effective for anxiety disorders.
D
Adolescence is a period of rapid brain development that begins around the age of 10 and continues into the early 20s. During this time, the brain undergoes significant changes that affect how teenagers think, feel, and behave.
One of the most important changes that occurs during adolescence is the development of the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that is responsible for decision-making, planning, impulse control, and reasoning. It is also the last part of the brain to fully develop, which is why teenagers often make impulsive decisions and have trouble thinking about the long-term consequences of their actions.
Another important change is the increase in dopamine levels in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasure, reward, and motivation. During adolescence, the brain becomes more sensitive to dopamine, which means that teenagers are more likely to seek out new and exciting experiences. This can be a good thing, as it encourages teenagers to explore and learn new things. But it can also lead to risky behaviors, such as experimenting with drugs and alcohol, driving too fast, or engaging in unprotected sex.
The amygdala, which is the part of the brain that is responsible for processing emotions, also develops earlier than the prefrontal cortex. This is why teenagers often experience intense emotions and have trouble controlling their temper. They may overreact to small things and have mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere.
It’s important to remember that these brain changes are normal and necessary for healthy development. They help teenagers become independent adults who can make their own decisions and navigate the challenges of adulthood. However, it’s also important for teenagers to understand how their brains work, so that they can make better decisions and avoid unnecessary risks.
Parents and teachers can also play an important role in supporting teenagers during this time. They can provide guidance and support, set clear boundaries, and help teenagers develop the skills they need to make responsible decisions. By working together, we can help teenagers navigate the challenges of adolescence and grow into happy, healthy, and successful adults.
38. Which part of the brain is responsible for decision-making and impulse control?
A. The amygdala B. The prefrontal cortex C. The cerebellum D. The brain stem
39. Why are teenagers more likely to seek out new and exciting experiences?
A. Because their prefrontal cortex is fully developed.
B. Because their amygdala is not developed yet.
C. Because their brain becomes more sensitive to dopamine.
D. Because they have nothing else to do.
40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The prefrontal cortex develops earlier than the amygdala.
B. Teenagers’ brain changes are abnormal and dangerous.
C. Dopamine is associated with pleasure and reward.
D. Parents should not set any boundaries for teenagers.

Stress is a normal part of life, but for many teenagers, it can become overwhelming. Academic pressure, social expectations, and family problems can all contribute to stress, and if not managed properly, it can have a negative impact on both physical and mental health.
Fortunately, there are many effective ways to cope with stress. Here are some strategies that can help:

2. Practice relaxation techniques: Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga can help calm your mind and body. These techniques can be done anywhere, at any time, and they are very effective in reducing stress.
3. Exercise regularly: Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. It releases endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that make you feel good. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.

7. Take breaks: It’s important to take breaks from studying and other stressful activities. Do something you enjoy, such as reading, listening to music, or spending time with friends.

句意:学着热爱并接纳真实的自己,是收获幸福健康人生的第一步。
固定搭配:accept yourself as you are(接纳真实的自己)。as引导方式状语,as you are意为“像你现在这样/本来的样子”。what(什么)、that(从句连词,无词义)语法不通;like作介词表“像”,语义错误。
【5题详解】
句意:多和爱护、支持你的人相处,别让任何人使你因为做自己而感到羞愧。
根据“don’t let anyone make you feel...”及语境,应避免负面情绪。B项ashamed符合。A、C、D项均为正面情绪,与don’t矛盾。

【14题详解】

【24题详解】
句意:……最重要的是善待你自己并拥抱真实的你。

Task III Understand common teenage struggles
A
A recent survey conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health asked 2,000 teenagers aged 13-17 about their biggest concerns and challenges during adolescence. The results showed that academic pressure, body image issues, and social relationships were the top three worries for most teenagers.
Nearly 75% of the respondents said that getting good grades and getting into a good college was their biggest concern. Many teenagers reported feeling stressed about homework, exams, and the expectations of their parents and teachers. Some even said that they had trouble sleeping or eating because of the pressure.
Body image issues were the second most common concern, with 62% of teenagers saying that they felt insecure about their appearance. Girls were more likely to report feeling unhappy with their bodies than boys, but boys also struggled with body image issues, especially related to their height and muscle mass.
Social relationships were the third biggest worry for teenagers. Many said that they felt pressure to fit in with their peers and be popular. Some reported feeling lonely or isolated, while others had problems with bullying or conflicts with friends.
Other concerns mentioned in the survey included mental health issues, family problems, and uncertainty about the future. The survey also found that many teenagers were reluctant to talk about their feelings with adults, and that only about 30% had sought help from a counselor or therapist.
The researchers who conducted the survey said that the results highlight the need for better support systems for teenagers. They recommended that schools and parents should provide more resources and education about mental health, and that teenagers should be encouraged to talk about their feelings and seek help when they need it.

Dear Teenagers,
I know that adolescence can be a difficult and confusing time. You are going through so many changes—physical, emotional, and social—and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. But I want you to know that you are not alone, and that there are things you can do to make this journey easier.
First of all, be kind to yourself. It’s okay to make mistakes and to not be perfect. Everyone struggles during adolescence, and that’s part of growing up. Don’t compare yourself to others—everyone’s journey is different, and you are on your own unique path.
Secondly, talk to someone you trust about your feelings. It can be a parent, a teacher, a friend, or a counselor. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside will only make things worse. When you talk about your problems, you will feel better, and you might even get some helpful advice.
Thirdly, take care of your physical health. Getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly can have a huge impact on your mood and mental health. When your body feels good, your mind will feel good too.
Fourthly, find something you love to do. Whether it’s painting, playing music, sports, or writing, having a hobby can help you relax and express yourself. It can also help you meet new people who share your interests.
Finally, remember that this too shall pass. The challenges you are facing now will not last forever. In a few years, you will look back and realize how much you have grown and how strong you have become.
I believe in you, and I know that you have the strength and courage to get through this. You are amazing just the way you are, and you have so much to offer the world.
With love and support,
A caring counselor

When Alex was 14 years old, he developed severe social anxiety. He became terrified of speaking in front of people, and he would avoid any situation where he might have to interact with strangers. He stopped going to parties, refused to raise his hand in class, and even had trouble ordering food at restaurants.
Alex’s parents were worried about him. They tried to encourage him to be more outgoing, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, they took him to see a therapist who specialized in anxiety disorders.
The therapist explained to Alex that social anxiety is a common problem, and that it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. She told him that there are effective treatments available, and that he could learn to manage his anxiety.
The therapist used a type of therapy called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help Alex. CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. Alex learned to identify the negative thoughts that were causing his anxiety, and to replace them with more positive and realistic ones.
He also learned relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, to help him calm down when he felt anxious. The therapist gradually exposed Alex to social situations in a safe and controlled way, starting with small interactions and working up to more challenging ones.
At first, it was very difficult for Alex. He would feel extremely nervous and would want to run away. But with the support of his therapist and his family, he kept practicing. Slowly but surely, his anxiety began to decrease.
After six months of therapy, Alex was able to give a presentation in front of his entire class. It was a huge achievement for him, and it gave him the confidence to keep going. Now, two years later, Alex is a confident and outgoing 16-year-old. He still gets nervous sometimes, but he knows how to manage his anxiety and not let it control his life.
Alex’s story shows that social anxiety is a treatable condition. If you are struggling with social anxiety or any other mental health issue, don’t be afraid to seek help. There are people who care about you and who can help you get better.

Adolescence is a period of rapid brain development that begins around the age of 10 and continues into the early 20s. During this time, the brain undergoes significant changes that affect how teenagers think, feel, and behave.
One of the most important changes that occurs during adolescence is the development of the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that is responsible for decision-making, planning, impulse control, and reasoning. It is also the last part of the brain to fully develop, which is why teenagers often make impulsive decisions and have trouble thinking about the long-term consequences of their actions.
Another important change is the increase in dopamine levels in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasure, reward, and motivation. During adolescence, the brain becomes more sensitive to dopamine, which means that teenagers are more likely to seek out new and exciting experiences. This can be a good thing, as it encourages teenagers to explore and learn new things. But it can also lead to risky behaviors, such as experimenting with drugs and alcohol, driving too fast, or engaging in unprotected sex.
The amygdala, which is the part of the brain that is responsible for processing emotions, also develops earlier than the prefrontal cortex. This is why teenagers often experience intense emotions and have trouble controlling their temper. They may overreact to small things and have mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere.
It’s important to remember that these brain changes are normal and necessary for healthy development. They help teenagers become independent adults who can make their own decisions and navigate the challenges of adulthood. However, it’s also important for teenagers to understand how their brains work, so that they can make better decisions and avoid unnecessary risks.
Parents and teachers can also play an important role in supporting teenagers during this time. They can provide guidance and support, set clear boundaries, and help teenagers develop the skills they need to make responsible decisions. By working together, we can help teenagers navigate the challenges of adolescence and grow into happy, healthy, and successful adults.
38. Which part of the brain is responsible for decision-making and impulse control?
A. The amygdala B. The prefrontal cortex C. The cerebellum D. The brain stem
39. Why are teenagers more likely to seek out new and exciting experiences?
A. Because their prefrontal cortex is fully developed.
B. Because their amygdala is not developed yet.
C. Because their brain becomes more sensitive to dopamine.
D. Because they have nothing else to do.
40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The prefrontal cortex develops earlier than the amygdala.
B. Teenagers’ brain changes are abnormal and dangerous.
C. Dopamine is associated with pleasure and reward.
D. Parents should not set any boundaries for teenagers.
【答案】38. B 39. C 40. C
【解析】

【38题详解】
第二段原文指出:“The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that is responsible for decision-making, planning, impulse control, and reasoning.”,说明前额叶皮层负责做决定和冲动管控,对应答案选B。
【39题详解】
第三段写明:“During adolescence, the brain becomes more sensitive to dopamine, which means that teenagers are more likely to seek out new and exciting experiences.”,表明青少年热衷新鲜刺激体验是因为大脑对多巴胺变得更敏感,对应答案选C。
【40题详解】
第三段原文 “Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasure, reward, and motivation.”,证明多巴胺和愉悦感、奖赏感相关,C表述正确;A错误,文中说明杏仁核比前额叶皮层发育更早;B错误,第五段提到这些大脑变化正常且有益于发育;D错误,尾段说明家长需要给青少年设立清晰界限。

Stress is a normal part of life, but for many teenagers, it can become overwhelming. Academic pressure, social expectations, and family problems can all contribute to stress, and if not managed properly, it can have a negative impact on both physical and mental health.
Fortunately, there are many effective ways to cope with stress. Here are some strategies that can help:
1. Identify the source of your stress: The first step in managing stress is to figure out what is causing it. Is it schoolwork? Relationships? Family problems? Once you know what is causing your stress, you can take steps to address it.
2. Practice relaxation techniques: Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga can help calm your mind and body. These techniques can be done anywhere, at any time, and they are very effective in reducing stress.
3. Exercise regularly: Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. It releases endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that make you feel good. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
4. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can make stress worse. Most teenagers need 8~10 hours of sleep per night. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.
5. Eat a healthy diet: What you eat can affect how you feel. Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein can help improve your mood and energy levels.
6. Talk to someone: Talking to someone you trust about your stress can help you feel better. It can also help you get a different perspective on your problems.
7. Take breaks: It’s important to take breaks from studying and other stressful activities. Do something you enjoy, such as reading, listening to music, or spending time with friends.
8. Set realistic goals: Setting unrealistic goals can lead to stress and disappointment. Set goals that are challenging but achievable, and break them down into smaller steps.
By using these strategies, you can learn to manage your stress effectively and live a happier, healthier life. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help if you need it. There are many people who care about you and who can help you through difficult times.
