20、ced in Richland, Mississippi. The images, taken by a phone camera by a Mississippi 1 Daniel Blake Fitzhugh, reveal a seemingly endless roll cloud, or arcus cloud, a low cloud formation that forms over the sea or 2 thunderstorms. Fitzhugh sent an image and video of the cloud to LiveScience after seei

21、ng an earlier report of a roll cloud off the coast of Brazil. Fitzhugh told LiveScience he 3 the video and image of a roll cloud in Richland, a town on the 4 of Jackson, Mississippi. “It had been cloudy and windy all day,“ Fitzhugh wrote in an e-mail. “I was heading north and the cloud was going fro

22、m west to east. I noticed it and was 5 surprised! I had never seen anything like it before.“ The cloud was rolling around like a “sideways tornado,“ Fitzhugh said. In fact, roll clouds form where sinking cold air drives low-hanging, 6 warm air upward, where cooler temperatures condense the moisture

23、in the air to form clouds. Winds 7 the weird rolling effect.

25、：35.00)Colombia is renowned for its fine Arabica coffee beans all over the world. Oddly, few Colombians appear keen on the stuff. Each 1 just 1.5kg of coffee per year on average. A typical Brazilian, by 2 , drinks 6kg-worth. Americans knock back lessaround 4kgbut a lot of it comes from Colombia, whi

26、ch is the world“s fourth-biggest producer. The bulk of the country“s yearly production of 462000 tonnes is 3 for export. Lesser-quality imports from Ecuador and Peru 4 for 90% of internal consumption. But for the past decade Juan Valdez coffee shops, owned by the powerful National Coffee Federation,

27、 which represents growers, have tried to 5 Colombians to the pleasures of high-end coffee. Modelled on Starbucks, the Seattle-based barista (咖啡师) giant, Juan Valdez is now bracing for 6 competition from it. Last week the American firm announced that it will open its first store in Colombia next year

28、. Starbucks“ entry into Colombia follows Juan Valdez“s own foray (突袭) into the American company“s home turf in Seattle, where it opened three shops in 2005. Indeed, Juan Valdez thinks it has learned so much from Starbucks that it does not fear competition. And it believes stressing its local roots g

The American chain says it will 9 only locally grown beans at the 50 stores it hopes to open in the next five years. This is good news for coffee g

Adolescence is practically synonymous in our culture with risk taking, emotional drama and all forms of strange behavior. Until very recently, the w

32、idely accepted explanation for adolescent angst has been psychological. Developmentally, teenagers face a number of social and emotional challenges, like starting to separate from their parents, getting accepted into a peer group and figuring out who they really are. It doesn“t take a psychoanalyst

33、to realize that these are anxiety-provoking transitions. B. But there is a darker side to adolescence that, until now, was poorly understood: a surge during teenage years in anxiety and fearfulness. Largely because of a quirk (古怪) of brain development, adolescents, on average, experience more anxiet

34、y and fear and have a harder time learning how not to be afraid than either children or adults. C. Different regions and circuits of the brain mature at very different rates. It turns out that the brain circuit for processing fearthe amygdala (杏仁核)is precocious (早熟的) and develops way ahead of the pr

35、efrontal cortex (前额皮质), the seat of reasoning and executive control. This means that adolescents have a brain that is wired with an enhanced capacity for fear and anxiety, but is relatively underdeveloped when it comes to calm reasoning. D. You may wonder why, if adolescents have such enhanced capac

36、ity for anxiety, they are such novelty seekers and risk takers. It would seem that the two traits are at odds. The answer, in part, is that the brain“s reward center, just like its fear circuit, matures earlier than the prefrontal cortex. That reward center drives much of teenagers“ risky behavior.

37、This behavioral paradox also helps explain why adolescents are particularly prone to injury and trauma. The top three killers of teenagers are accidents, homicide and suicide. The brain-development lag has huge implications for how we think about anxiety and how we treat it. It suggests that anxious

38、 adolescents may not be very responsive to psychotherapy that attempts to teach them to be unafraid, like cognitive behavior therapy, which is zealously prescribed for teenagers. E. What we have learned should also make us think twiceand then someabout the ever rising use of stimulants in young peop

39、le, because these drugs may worsen anxiety and make it harder for teenagers to do what they are developmentally supposed to do: Learn to be unafraid when it is appropriate to do so. Of course, most adolescents do not develop anxiety disorders, but acquire the skill to modulate (调节) their fear as the

40、ir prefrontal cortex matures in young adulthood, at around age 25. But up to 20 percent of adolescents in the United States experience a diagnosable anxiety disorder, like generalized anxiety or panic attacks, probably resulting from a mix of genetic factors and environmental influences. The prevale

41、nce of anxiety disorders and risky behavior (both of which reflect this developmental disjunction in the brain) have been relatively steady, which suggests to me that the biological contribution is very significant. F. One of my patients, a 32-year-old man, recalled feeling anxious in social gatheri

42、ngs as a teenager. “It was viscerally (出自内心地) unpleasant and I felt as if I couldn“t even speak the same language as other people in the room,“ he said. It wasn“t that he disliked human company; rather, socializing in groups felt dangerous, even though intellectually he knew that wasn“t the case. He

43、 developed a strategy to deal with his discomfort: alcohol. When he drank, he felt relaxed and able to engage. Now treated and sober for several years, he still has a trace of social anxiety and still wishes for a drink in anticipation of socializing. G. Of course, we all experience anxiety. Among o

44、ther things, it“s a normal emotional response to threatening situations. The hallmark of an anxiety disorder is the persistence of anxiety that causes intense distress and interferes with functioning even in safe settings, long after any threat has receded. We“ve recently learned that adolescents sh

45、ow heightened fear responses and have difficulty learning how not to be afraid. In one study using brain M. R. I., researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College and Stanford University found that when adolescents were shown fearful faces, they had exaggerated responses in the amygdala compared with c

46、hildren and adults. H. The amygdala is a region buried deep beneath the cortex that is critical in evaluating and responding to fear. it sends and receives connections to our prefrontal cortex alerting us to danger even before we have had time to really think about it. Think of that split-second adr

47、enaline (肾上腺素) surge when you see what appears to be a snake out on a hike in the woods. That instantaneous fear is your amygdala in action. Then you circle back, take another look and this time your prefrontal cortex tells you it was just a harmless stick. Fear learning lies at the heart of anxiety

48、 and anxiety disorders. This primitive form of learning allows us to form associations between events and specific cues and environments that may predict danger. Way back on the savanna (热带草原), for example, we would have learned that the rustle in the grass or the sudden flight of birds might signal

49、 a predatorand taken the cue and run to safety. Without the ability to identify such danger signals, we would have been lunch long ago. But once previously threatening cues or situations become safe, we have to be able to re-evaluate them and suppress our learned fear associations. I. Another patient I saw in consultation recently, a 23-year-old woman, described how she became anxious when she was younger after seeing a commercial about asthma (哮喘). “It made me incredibly wor
