11、rouble.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 between two very different kinds of risk-taking.Th
12、e first they called a willingness to take known risks(when the probability of winning is clear)and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks(when the possibility of success is-3-uncertain).The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games.They had the chance
13、to win-4-money,with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk.On each round of the game,each participant had to choose between taking a sure$5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more.If on one particular round they had picked the$5 for sure choice,then they got$5
14、.But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk,the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won.If they did win,they went home with between$8 and$125.And,of course,if they lost,they went home with nothing.What the scientists found was really quite surprising.It turned out that
15、the average teenager was very hesitant when risks 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 the risks were unclear did teen
16、agers choose them more often than other groups.Under those kinds of conditions,they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.So,what does all of this mean?The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting th

21、And they are responsible for something like two percent of global carbon emissions,simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing through carbonrich materials.A whole industry is aiming at killing them.But they play a key role in many natural ecosystems.Scientists have known
22、 for years that in tropical（热带的）forests,termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood,keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plants,insects,and animals.But they didn t know exactly howanm poe insects were in keep

24、e wasn t much difference between the normal plots and the ones where they d removed the termites.But during the drought,the effects were marked.What they found was unexpected:in the termite-rich areas,the soil stayed slightly wet,more tree seedlings sprouted（抽芽）,and the system was full of activity d
25、espite the long,hard dry spell.For Griffiths,it was only because they happened to study the drought that they could pick out the real importance of termi tes to the system,she points out.And that rings alarm bells in my head,“because it makes me think,well what else don t we know?If we start damagin
