And if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesnt pay off jus

26、t when you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out. In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. One area creates and processes emotions; the other governs logical thought. The typ

27、e of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence. But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of ones actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical (逻辑的)thought

28、 is not fully developed until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively(冲动地)-its how their brains are structured! Though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead toproblematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years

29、 evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. This openness helps teens to become independent adults. The key to making impulsivity work for you instead of against you is to train your brain by practicing pausing. This doesnt mean you stop taking risks or being open to new

30、experiences. But you wont know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity. What are different ways to pause? You might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask Is this worth it? different strategies work for different

31、 people. Whatever works for you, keep doing it! By practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. This means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your natural response. And with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control-even if they werent natural-born pausers!32. What challenges teenagers? A. Giving natural response. B. Acting before thorough thinking.C. Making logical decision. D. Choosing brain-training strategies.33. An impulsive person tends to_. A. consider or acc
