• 3．Kids take risks. According to Laurence Hammerstein，professor of psychology at Temple University，there's not much parents can do to stop that.（1）

  seems to be pre-programmed into young brains，especially in adolescence （青春期）.
     Trying to get kids not to take risks，he says. "is an uphill battle against evolution，and we're not going to（2）

  it，" he says. "Going out in the world is a（n）（3）

  risky thing to do." Kids have to take those risks in older to become adults.So how can parents start（4）

  that help kids take the healthy risks—and avoid dangerous ones？
     To start with，it's never too early for parents to encourage kids to think about（5）

  ，both good and bad.So if kids have questions about risky situations，parents can（6）

  questions of their own，like "Why do you want to do this？Do you think something good will happen？Do you think anything bad might happen？"
     Middle school kids are approaching adolescence，when body chemistry makes them more likely to（7）

  risks—both good and bad.So parents can talk with them about the fact that they're going to need to take more risks as they grow up，and start conversations about how to（8）

  whether something is a good risk or a bad one.This is also a good time for parents to（9）

  kids to think about questions like，what are the chances this will turn out well？What are the chances something might（10）

  ？
     The risks high school kids are likely to take might seem（11）

  .But Hammerstein says it's important for parents to realize that from the kid's point of view，"there's a positive side that may only be（12）

  to the adolescent." That's a good place to start a conversation.Understanding what motivates a kid to take a risk can help parents direct that motivation in positive ways and kids（13）

  dangerous risks.Kids don't take those dangerous risks because they don't know better，says Hammerstein.If you ask teenagers（14）

  about risky behaviors， "they all know that they're risky because they have read many articles on the psychology of risk-taking."
  （15）

  ， "while they are taking risks，" says Hammerstein， "the reasonable part of kids' brains is often overpowered（被打敗的）." So part of helping kids managing risk is helping them think about the kind of situations they do and don't want to be in before they get into them.
