Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. 1. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better.
Changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain. 2. Imagine the structure of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations. When you were a child as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. 3. Now your brain makes that map more efficient.
As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? 4. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient.
This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you are good at and what you love most. 5. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.
A.The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult.
B.Playing cards with your mind can make your memory better.
C.You’re becoming more and more independent and making decisions for yourself.
D.So try different activities, and stick to them if you think they’re useful.
E.By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map.
F.You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands.
G.Different people have different change in the body.
WHAT are scientists? They are often described as gray-haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wang Ruixue. At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.
She focuses mainly on biomedicine(生物医学)and artificial intelligence(人工智能). "Both are cutting-edge(前沿)technologies at an early stage of development," she said.
"So, I think they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line. And in the study of structural biology, China is likely to become the leader."
She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. "I grew interested in the natural world, when I was very young," she said. In 2009, she entered Sun Yat-sen University.
In her third year at the university, she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine. So she emailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.
Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high-definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.
Unlike-many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad, Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.
"The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China," she said, adding the country has great science facilities.

LEGO (乐高) recently announced that they will start producing pieces from sustainable (可持续的) sugar cane. The toys, which will be closely similar to classic ones, will also feature “botanical elements” like leaves, bushes, and trees.
The pieces will be included in LEGO’S box sets from this year onwards. The move is part of the Danish company’s campaign to use sustainable materials in its products by 2030.
However, Tim Brooks, the firm’s vice-president, said, “We want to make a positive influence on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials. This is a great first step in our goal to make all LEGO pieces using sustainable materials.”
The new line of production has reportedly already started with pieces being produced from polyethylene, which is a soft and durable plastic (耐用的塑料). LEGO says that we needn’t worry about the quality of the new products, as they’ve tested the plant-based plastic to ensure that it meets the high standards for quality and safety that consumers (消费者) expect from the company.
“LEGO products have always been about providing high quality play experiences and giving every child the chance to shape their own world through inventive play. Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new pieces, because plant-based polyethylene has the same qualities as traditional polyethylene,” said Tim Brooks.
“It is important that companies in each industry find ways to help ensure a future where people, nature, and the economy grow healthily,” said Alix Grabowski, an officer at WWF. “The LEGO Group’s decision to use sustainable plastics represents a great opportunity to reduce dependence on finite (有限的) resources, and their work with the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance will allow them to connect with other companies to continue to think creatively about sustainability.”
1.What do we know about LEGO company?
A. They have designed many new products.
B. They are worried about the quality of the new products.

A. Plant-based materials are of high qualities as traditional materials.
B. Consumers expect high standards for quality and safety from LEGO.
C. LEGO wants to make more products.
D. LEGO needn’t test the new products.
3.What does Alix Grabowski think of LEGO Group’s decision?
A. It is of no significance to our future.
B. It makes other companies more competitive.
C. It sets a good example for other companies.
D. It is mainly dependent on finite resources.
4.How can we comment on Lego’s new products?
