26、. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p. m. on August 8,2008. The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of ancient China.

Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically(基本上), they are often taking risks.

38、Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So whats the reason? According to Laurence, a teacher from a US univers

39、ity, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers(同齡人)view themthat is “peer influence”. As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without

40、thinking about the costs. In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game.

The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are wa

42、tched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.
