2．　　Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You're becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.
　　The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure (结构) of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations (目的地). When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain's job is to make 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?You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video﹣game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.
　　This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you're good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities and stick to them if you think they're useful. Remember that with everything you do, you're shaping your brain for the future.

3．　　"Can I have a glass of hot water?" This is a very common question in a restaurant. For many Chinese people, nothing is more common than drinking hot water every day. However, the simple habit is like a mystery to people from other countries.
　　For many Westerners, the idea of drinking hot water is very strange. However, most Chinese people think the Americans' habit of drinking ice water is also strange and even unhealthy. Some old people take a tea kettle(茶壶) when they travel. Chinese doctors are encouraging more people to take on the habit of drinking hot water, especially for women.
　　But in Western countries, drinking hot water isn't common. Westerners often have drinks with ice, not just on hot days but almost every day.
　　There is a story online about a British man, who has been in Beijing for over five years. He visited a local cafe when going back to England. He asked for a glass of hot water in a British accent. But this request surprised the waitress, "To... to... to drink?" she doubted. Finally, the man received the hot water but felt cold stares from every corner of the cafe.
　　Westerners wonder why Chinese people drink hot water as Chinese are wondering why Westerners drink cold water. This cultural difference is not a simple problem, but related to history, culture and science.
　　As a matter of fact, many teenagers now depend on bottled water for daily drinking. With the younger generation growing up, will drinking hot water become a less popular life habit?Who knows?

4．　　Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. They are expected to spread knowledge, ideas and truth. There's one person in China who is called the "teacher of teachers". He is Tao Xingzhi, a Chinese educator.
　　Born in Anhui province, China, in 1891, Tao studied abroad for educational philosophy. When Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly follow western education methods or theories. In fact, he changed the saying of "Education is life itself" to "Life is education". Similarly, instead of "school as society (社会)", he saw it as "society as school".
　　For Tao, education is an active experience in real﹣life instead of telling and being told. He supported "unity of teaching, learning, and reflective (反思的) acting".
　　Besides developing education methods, Tao also tried his best to improve mass education. After doing surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that in China more than 70% of the people in the city didn't know how to read or write.
　　To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. To deal with the shortage of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal College in Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at schools in the countryside.
　　In January 1934, he started the "Little Teacher" movement in which young students were encouraged to serve as teachers to others, even to those older than themselves. Under Tao's guidance, over 18,000 "little teachers" were invited in Shanghai within 10 months. It later included 28 provinces and cities as a key nationwide education movement. Even in the fight against the Japanese army, Tao never forgot his dream. He founded a middle school in Chongqing and offered free education to poor children.
　　Maybe Tao's motto is the best explanation for his life. "Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass."
