* Choose the Correct Answer: 

explored - adult - respectively - sharp - exploring - unique - adolescent - at the same time both - development

* Model answer with Grammar Explanation: 

1- At the same time both: وفي نفس الوقت كلا من ✅ 
- This phrase is suitable to convey the paradoxical nature mentioned in the passage - being clever, accomplished, responsible, and reckless simultaneously.
- This phrase captures the paradox of teenagers having sharp minds but lacking complete control over their behavior due to brain development.

2- Exploring: الاستكشاف ✅
- This word fits well, indicating the ongoing investigation or study of the structure and chemistry of the adolescent brain دماغ المراهق.

- This refers to the ongoing research by the physicians, not the teenager's actions.

3-Unique: فريد ✅
- This term is appropriate as it highlights the distinctiveness of the adolescent brain 
تميز دماغ المراهق.

4- Adolescent: مراهق ✅ ( Adolescent brain دماغ المراهق ) 

- This word is the correct choice, specifying the age group of the individuals being discussed in the passage.

- This is the specific age group the passage discusses in the context of brain development. "Adult" wouldn't be suitable here

5- Development: تطوير ✅ 
It is the right term to use, referring to the process of growth and maturation in the context of the teenage brain.

6- Sharp   adj.  : حاد ✅ ( sharp brain الدماغ الحاد ) 
This adjective emphasizes the intelligence or quickness of the teenage brains.
الذكاء أو سرعة أدمغة المراهقين.

7- both: كلاهما ✅
Describing two things ( fast-growing synapses and sections that remain unconnected)

Transcript:

Your

teenage

daughter

gets

top

marks

in

school,

captains

the

debate

team,

and

volunteers

at

a

shelter

for

homeless

people.

تحصل ابنتك المراهقة على أعلى الدرجات في المدرسة، وتقود فريق المناظرة، وتتطوع في ملجأ للمشردين.

But

while

driving

the

family

car,

she

text-messages

her

best

friend

and

rear-ends

another

vehicle.

ولكن أثناء قيادة سيارة العائلة، ترسل رسالة نصية إلى صديقتها المفضلة وتصطدم بمركبة أخرى من الخلف.

How

can

teens

be

so

clever,

accomplished,

and

responsible-and

reckless

at

the

same

time

?

كيف يمكن للمراهقين أن يكونوا أذكياء ومنجزين ومسؤولين ومتهورين في نفس الوقت؟

Easily,

according

to

two

physicians

at

Children's

Hospital

Boston

and

Harvard

Medical

School

(HMS)

who

have

been

exploring

the

unique

structure

and

chemistry

of

the

adolescent

brain.

بسهولة، وفقًا لاثنين من الأطباء في مستشفى الأطفال في بوسطن وكلية الطب بجامعة هارفارد (HMS) اللذين كانا يستكشفان البنية والكيمياء الفريدة لدماغ المراهق.

"The

teenage

brain

is

not

just

an

adult

brain

with

fewer

miles

on

it,"

says

Frances

E.

Jensen,

a

professor

of

neurology.

يقول فرانسيس E. ، أستاذ علم الأعصاب: "إن دماغ المراهق ليس مجرد دماغ بالغ مع عدد أقل من الأميال".

"It's

a

paradoxical

time

of

development

.

"إنه وقت متناقض للتطور.

These

are

people

with

very

sharp

brains,

but

they're

not

quite

sure

what

to

do

with

them."

هؤلاء أشخاص لديهم أدمغة حادة للغاية، لكنهم غير متأكدين تمامًا مما يجب فعله بهم".

Research

during

the

past

10

years,

powered

by

technology

such

as

functional

magnetic

resonance

imaging,

has

revealed

that

young

brains

have

both

fast-growing

synapses

and

sections

that

remain

unconnected.

كشفت الأبحاث التي أجريت خلال السنوات العشر الماضية، والمدعومة بتكنولوجيا مثل التصوير بالرنين المغناطيسي الوظيفي، أن أدمغة الشباب تحتوي على نقاط اشتباك عصبي سريعة النمو وأجزاء لا تزال غير متصلة.
