When faced with situations that have highly uncertain outcomes, most 22 groups react with dislike; adolescents, 23, often find these uncertain situations quitetolerable. Rather than having a taste for risk, as is commonly thought, the risky behaviors of adolescents originate from their 24 with the ambiguous(模棱两可的).These findings, which are reported in the journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, point to basic differences between adolescents and adults and offer new 25 into how to communicate about risk to teenagers and pre-teens.“Our findings show that teenagers nowadays enter unsafe situations not because they are drawn to dangerous or risky situations, but, rather, because they aren't 26 enough of the possibility of the consequences of their actions/' explained Agnieszka Tyniula, one of the study's co-authors. 4tOncc they truly 27 a risky situation, they are, if anything, even more unwilling to take risks than adults.

My parents, although sympathetic, and sharing my love of music, disapproved of it as a profession. This was understandable in view of the family background. My grandfather had taught music fbr nearly forty years. Though much respected in the community, he earned barely enough to provide for his large family. As a consequence of this example in the family, the very mention of music as a profession carried with it a picture of a risky existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted on college instead of a conservatory of music, and to college I went quite happily, as I remember, for although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing, I had many other interests.Before my graduation, （he family met wilh severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. Thus I launched upon a business career which I always think of as the wasted years.Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage （藐视）business. My whole point is that it was not for me. I went into it for money, and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. Instead of being merely discontented, I became miserable. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad to study music. As the family became once more solvenl （有偿付能力的）,my help was no longer necessary. I resigned from my position and, feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for the world of music. I stayed in Europe for four years and enjoyed every minute of it.“Enjoyed” is too mild a word. I walked on air. I really lived. 1 was a free man and I was doing what I loved to do and what I was meant to do.If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those inner satisfactions that money can never buy.36. Which of the following statements about the writer's parents is TRUE?A. They had no passion for music at all.B.
