READING SECTION
Teenage Pregnancy
Teenage birth rates in the USA have declined steadily since 1991. While this is good
news, teen birth rates in this country remain high, exceeding those in most developed
countries. High teen birth rates are an important concern because teen mothers and their
babies face increased risks to their health, and their opportunities to build a future are
diminished.
Between 1991 and 2002, the teenage birth rate fell by 30 percent. Still, in 2002, about 4
teenage girls in 100 had a baby. About 11 percent of all U.S. births in 2002 were to
teens (ages 15 to 19) and about 17 percent of teen mothers go on to have a second baby
within three years after the birth of their first baby.
A teenage mother is at greater risk than women over age 20 for pregnancy
complications such as pregnancy-induced anemia and high blood pressure.
Teens that are under 15 years old also may be more than twice as likely to die of
pregnancy complications as mother’s ages 20 to 24. Teen mothers are more likely than
mothers over age 20 to give birth prematurely. In 2002, 9.6 percent of mother’s ages 15
to 19 years had a low birth weight baby (under 5.5 pounds), compared to 7.8 percent for
mothers of all ages. Low birth weight babies may have organs that are not fully
developed. This can lead to chronic lung problems, or bleeding in the brain, blindness
and serious intestinal problems. Low birth weight babies are more than 20 times as
likely to die in their first year of life as normal
weight babies.
Teen mothers are more likely to drop out of high school than girls who delay
childbearing. With her education cut short, a teenage mother may lack job skills,
making it hard for her to find and keep a job. A teenage mother may become financially
dependent on her family or on welfare.

GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP?
BY EMILY SOHN
One of the greatest things about growing older is that you get to stay up later. And
it's not just your parents who make that decision. Your body gives you permission to
enjoy the darker hours too. Recent research has shown that brain changes during teen
years make it easier for kids to stay up late. But just because you can stay up late, it
doesn't mean you should, scientists say. Young people who don't get enough sleep are
often late for school, or they miss it completely, says a recent study by the National
Sleep Foundation (NSF). Sleepy kids also tend to be bad-tempered and unhappy. And
their grades suffer.
Our sleep-wake schedules may seem to be ruled by the need to get to school or work on
time, but they're really under the control of our body's internal clock. Every mammal
has a "master clock" in its brain that tells its body what time it is and when it needs to
sleep. Scientists recently discovered cells in the brain that collect information about
light directly from the eyes. When light comes in, our internal clock thinks that it's
daytime.
Then, as darkness arrives, the body secretes a chemical called melatonin, which tells the
clock that it's nighttime. As we approach our teen years, melatonin secretion comes at a
later time. That's why children who usually go to bed at 8:30 or 9 p.m. all of a sudden
start having trouble falling asleep.

Combining alcohol and “energy drinks” reduces the ‘perception’ of impairment
The combined use of alcohol and “energy drinks” has become increasingly
popular among youth and young adults in recent years. Users often report reduced
sleepiness and increased sensations of pleasure. In the April issue of Alcoholism:
Clinical & Experimental Research, Brazilian researchers conduct the first controlled
scientific study on the effects of combining alcohol with those drinks. Results show a
considerable disconnect between subjects’ perceptions and objective measures of their
abilities: although combined use reduces the sensation of tiredness and sleepiness,
actual capabilities are significantly impaired.
“In Brazil, as in other countries, young people believe that energy drinks avoid the
sleepiness caused by alcoholic beverages and increase their capacity to dance all night,”
explained Maria Lucia O. Souza-Formigoni, associate professor in the department of
psychobiology at the Federal University of São Paulo in Brazil and corresponding
author for the study. “In fact, many night clubs offer this mix among their cocktails.”
In a previous study on the use of energy drinks among Brazilians, SouzaFormigoni said that users reported greater happiness (38%), euphoria (30%),
uninhibited behavior (27%), and increased physical vigor (24%). It is unclear; however,
if this indicates the ability of energy drinks to reduce the depressant effects, increase the
excitatory effects of alcohol, or both.
“This study appears to show us that the use of energy drinks might predispose
people to abuse alcohol when its depressant effects – or at least the perception of such
effects – are masked by them,” said Roseli Boerngen de Lacerda, associate professor in
the department of pharmacology at the Universidade Federal do Parana, Brazil.
Compared to the ingestion of alcohol alone, the combined ingestion of alcohol
and energy drinks significantly reduced the subjects’ perception of headache, weakness,
dry mouth and impairment of motor coordination. The researched energy drinks did not,
however, significantly reduce deficits caused by alcohol on objective measures of motor
coordination and visual reaction time.“There are two key points,” said SouzaFormigoni. “Although combined ingestion decreases the sensation of tiredness and
sleepiness, objective measures of motor coordination showed that it cannot reduce the
harmful effects of alcohol on motor coordination. In other words, the person is drunk
but does not feel as drunk as he really is. The second important point is that many users
reported using energy drinks to reduce a not-so-pleasant taste of alcoholic beverages,
which could dangerously increase the amount (as well as the speed of ingestion) of
alcoholic beverages.” “The implications of these findings,” added Boerngen, “are that
this association of alcohol and energy drinks is harmful rather than beneficial, as
believed by consumers.
Especially because those individuals who combine alcohol and energy drinks,
believing they are less impaired than reality would indicate, are actually at an increased
risk for problems such as automobile accidents.” “Alcohol affects not only the motor
coordination but also the capacity of decision, because it affects one important area of
the brain - the prefrontal cortex,” explained Souza-Formigoni. “Drunk drivers are
dangerous not only because their reactions are delayed and motor coordination affected,
but mainly because their capacity to evaluate the risks to which they will be exposed is
also affected. People need to understand that the ‘sensation’ of well-being does not
necessarily mean that they are unaffected by alcohol. Despite how good they may feel,
they shouldn’t drink and drive. Never.”
