17、ter than tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content （含 吊：）of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.

18、r. Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say thats behind the recent rise in bad teeth.Storing is another problem.

19、llion tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and I ,（X）（） years to break down.In terms of energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap.

25、ey start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups.In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish

26、between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when (he probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).The study offered participants the opportu

27、nity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk.

28、 always knew the exact chance of winning more money, from as low as 13% to as high as 75%. In the unknown risk condition, researchers did not reveal (he exact chances of winning.What (he scientists found was really quite surprising. It lumed out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks

29、 were known-more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when (he risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other group

30、s. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.The research, published in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that adults should probably fbcus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenage

31、rs who understand the risks associated with a decision arc more likely to be careful in their behavior.12. The two kinds of games differed in whether.A. the risks were willing takenB. the chances of winning were clearC. the participants could be carefulD. the choices (hey can make are enough13. When

32、 facing known risks, teenagers tended to be.A. ambitiousB. anxiousC. curiousD. cautiousWhich group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks?A. College studentsB. Teenage participantC. Parent-aged students D. Grandparcnt-agcd adultsAccording to the study, parents should.A. set age limits o

34、 a song, but an expression of emotion that cannot be felt through just words themselves.A craft of imagination can be more important than a craft of knowledge, and it is absolutely possible for the two to be combined. A piece of work isnt just something created without discipline or training. 17. An

35、 artistneeds to learn how to complete (he basics like a master before they can add in their own emotions and change the painting to be their own.18 This is a great quote for all artists in the sense that each piece of art is different, but inspirations are shared. Students are taught the same thing

36、over and over again, which is good. However, by teaching them to accept new ways of finding solutions or solving their issues, 19.There arc schools who want to take out the different forms of art found in public schools. 2(). Everyperson needs a way to allow them to release stress in a healthy way,

37、a way that can be shared with others or kepi (o themselves.
