During the growth of teenagers, it can be easy for some teenagers to form bad habits. These bad habits, if (leave) unchecked, could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. is essential to prevent harmful habits from dominating a teenager's life. They must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate changes.

To change bad habits (be) never easy. In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. Soon these choices become automatic and form habits that are hard to change. The good news is that we can change, if we understand habits work. There is a habit cycle. It works like this: Firstly, there is a "cue" that acts a signal to do something. Secondly, there is a "routine", the regular action you take in response to the cue. Thirdly, there is the "reward", the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.

(facilitate) a positive change in their bad habits, teenagers must first examine their bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them by combining the information from their habit cycles with their own positive ideas. Besides (change) bad habits, teenagers can also use the habit cycle to create good habits.

The most (success) way to change bad habits is not suddenly, but over a period of time. To reach the goal of change, teenagers must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small (step). They have the power to build a happy and (health) life full of good habits!

Last summer, our school organized a community service program. I was assigned to visit Mr. Clark, an elderly man who lived alone. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as I walked to his small house. When I knocked on the door, a thin man with gentle eyes opened it. I introduced myself, but he just nodded and gestured for me to come in. The house was tidy but very quiet. I tried to start a1 but he responded with short answers or silence. I felt awkward and unsure. Maybe this was a2 idea.

The next week, I visited again. This time, I noticed some old gardening tools in the corner and3 that he might like plants. So, on my third visit, I brought a small pot of sunflowers. His eyes lit up slightly. He pointed to the backyard, where I saw a few dry rose bushes. "I used to… but my hands…" he said slowly, looking at his4 fingers. I finally understood — he loved gardening but couldn't do it any more.

From then on, our5 changed. Instead of trying to talk, I started to6. I would water the plants, and he would sit nearby, giving short instructions. One hot afternoon, after we finished, I was sweating. He7 inside and came back with a glass of cold lemonade. "For you," he said with a small smile. That simple act8 me deeply.

One day, he pointed to an old photo album. We spent the whole afternoon looking at pictures. His voice was filled with9 as he told stories. I just listened. At that moment, I felt a strong connection. I wasn't just a volunteer; I was a friend sharing his memories.

On my last visit, he gave me a handmade wooden birdhouse. "For your10," he said. I was moved. Through this experience, I learned what empathy truly means. It's not about pity. It's about11 someone's situation, being patient, and12 a connection through understanding.

13 I was young and he was old, we found common ground. His backyard was no longer a14 place, but a space where we built15. This experience taught me that empathy is a bridge built with kindness and attention, not just words.

First, pay attention to your self-talk. The words you say to yourself matter. When you make a mistake, instead of thinking "I failed," try thinking, "This is a chance to learn." For example, if you get a low score on a math test, a fixed mindset would say, "I'm bad at math." A growth mindset would say, "I need to find a better way to study this topic."

Challenges are not threats; they are opportunities to grow. When you try something hard, your brain forms new connections. Don't avoid difficult tasks. Embrace them. Start with small challenges and gradually take on bigger ones. Each time you push through, you prove to yourself that effort leads to improvement.

Another key is to value the process over the result. Praise yourself for the hard work you put in, not just for a perfect outcome. Did you practice piano for an hour every day? That's worth celebrating, even if the recital wasn't flawless. This shift in focus makes you more willing to keep trying.

Finally, learn from others. Talk to people who have overcome obstacles. Read stories about famous scientists or artists who failed many times before succeeding. Their journeys remind us that struggle is a normal part of the path to mastery.

Remember, developing a growth mindset is a journey itself. It won't happen overnight. But by practicing these steps, you can train your brain to see possibilities instead of limitations.

A. This simple change in language can shift your perspective.

B. However, you can choose to develop a different way of thinking.

C. Therefore, you should always ask for help immediately.

D. Second, see challenges as opportunities.

E. For instance, watching others succeed can make you feel jealous.

F. It's important to focus on your effort and strategies, not just the final grade or score.

G. Surround yourself with people who have a growth mindset.

Why is critical thinking education so necessary now? First, AI provides us with huge amounts of information, but not all of it is true or useful. For example, AI tools can write articles or create videos that look very real, but they might contain mistakes or even false information. Without critical thinking, people, especially students, might believe everything they see online, which can be dangerous. Second, many jobs that involve simple, repetitive tasks are being done by AI. Future jobs will require humans to solve complex problems, make ethical decisions, and create new ideas — all of which need strong critical thinking skills. Simply memorizing facts is no longer enough.

So, how can we teach critical thinking effectively? Schools should change their methods. Instead of only asking for correct answers, teachers can encourage students to ask "why" and "how." For instance, in a science class, after learning a fact from an AI-powered search, students should be guided to check other sources and discuss whether the information is reliable. Classroom debates and group projects on real-world issues, like "Should AI be used to make important decisions?" are excellent ways to practice analyzing different viewpoints and building logical arguments. Parents also play a role. At home, they can discuss news stories with their children, asking questions like, "Who wrote this?" and "What evidence supports this claim?"

In conclusion, AI is a powerful tool, but it is a tool that we must control with our minds. Critical thinking is the key to using AI wisely and safely. By making critical thinking a core part of education, through interactive teaching and daily practice, we can prepare young people not just to live in a future with AI, but to shape that future thoughtfully and responsibly.

On the positive side, social media allows teenagers to explore different interests and ideas. They can join online groups about music, art, sports, or study, which helps them understand what they like and who they want to be. For example, a shy student might find confidence by sharing his drawings online and receiving encouraging comments. This can strengthen his sense of self.

However, there are negative effects too. Many teenagers feel pressure to look perfect online. They see edited photos and exciting videos of others' lives, which can make them feel inadequate (不足). They might start comparing their own lives to these highlights, leading to low self-esteem. Some teens even change their behavior or appearance to get more "likes" and followers, which means they are letting others' opinions shape their identity.

Moreover, the constant feedback on social media — likes, comments, shares — can make teens too focused on online validation. They may start to believe that their value depends on how many people approve of their posts, rather than their real qualities and achievements.

In conclusion, social media is a powerful tool that can both help and harm teenagers' self-identity. It offers chances for self- discovery but also brings risks of comparison and over-reliance on others' opinions. The key is for teens to use social media wisely, remember their real worth, and balance online life with offline experiences.

Elena decided to observe the swallows more closely. She set up a small camera near a nest and recorded their flight for weeks. She discovered that the swallows had a special way of seeing. Their eyes could notice tiny movements and judge distances very quickly. This helped them change direction in a flash. Elena realized that this ability could be useful for technology.

Back in her lab, Elena and her team worked hard to create a small sensor that copied the swallow's vision system. They tested it on a mini-drone. The drone, equipped with the new sensor, could fly through a maze of obstacles without hitting any. It was a success! Elena's invention, inspired by birds, made drones safer and more efficient. Her story shows how observing nature can lead to amazing scientific advances.

Tom was a regular figure on the school football field, and his skills were so impressive despite the worn-out sports shoes he wore. Off the field, his life was hard for various reasons. His mother had been ill in bed for several years, and his father recently lost his job, leaving the family even poorer. However, Tom never let his difficult situations reduce his love for football.

One day, the coach announced to the players that there would be a football match, and all players were required to wear proper sports uniforms (制服). Tom was worried. He stared at his worn shoes, wondering how he could possibly ask his parents for money they didn't have. That night, he lay awake, practicing making excuses in his head—maybe he'd pretend to be sick. But deep inside, he knew he couldn't do that. However, the thought of missing the game and letting his team down troubled him.

During a break the next day. Tom just sat alone, staring at the ground, while the others talked excitedly with each other. Jack, the team captain, finally cornered him after practice. "What's up. Tom? There seems to be something wrong with you." At first, Tom hesitated, but Jack's genuine (真诚的) concern broke through his pride. "It's the uniform," he said in a low voice. "I can't afford it." And more than that, he explained to Jack the difficult situation his family was in. Hearing that, Jack just patted (轻拍) him on the shoulder without saying a word.

That day, the team gathered without Tom after practice. "We can't let this happen," Jack said. "Tom's the best player we've got; we must do something to help him and his family." They tried their best to come up with ideas to collect money and decided on a car wash.

On Saturday morning, the school parking lot was totally changed. Signs reading "Football for Tom — Wash a Car. Change a Life" were everywhere, and the team worked tirelessly on the cars and shared Tom's story with anyone who'd listen. By evening, the team had raised more than enough for the uniform.

"Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas," the scientists say. "But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access." That's what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments.

For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To get them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant's leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water.

The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there's no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms.

For the elderly George, art is something he is crazy about. Art gets him up in the morning, and he often works a full day, painting in the studio in his home. His home in Cork City is full of paintings of landscapes, portraits and scenic spots, including an attractive description of Ross Castle in Killarney. His desire is to give lessons in it to senior citizens, preferably through the medium of television. His thinking is that TV art will attract a relatively big audience. And there are practical considerations. George is in good condition apart from suffering from a bad back, which makes it difficult for him to teach a class as he will have to bend down to see the artworks and give advice to students.

George is now eager to appeal (呼吁) to television producers to broadcast his art classes on TV. He suggests that the filming can take place outdoors in Crosshaven during the summer months, as he frequently paints in the sailing village, attracting the attention of passers-by to his artistic skills.

George believes he has much to offer older individuals who may feel alone and lack a sense of purpose in life. Therefore, he is enthusiastic about sharing his expertise with senior citizens, some of whom may discover a talent for painting. The focus is on developing inclusiveness among the elderly. George even does not seek financial support for his services, and he thinks that his effort will likely assist in reducing government health expenses, as it can serve as an outlet for senior citizens.

In a small, cozy town, there lived a kind-hearted old man named Mr. Johnson. He had a simple life, spending his days in a small cottage surrounded by a beautiful garden. One sunny morning, while taking a walk in the local animal shelter, his life took an unexpected turn.

Among the cages filled with various animals, Mr. Johnson's eyes landed on a small, shivering puppy. The puppy had big, sad eyes and a coat that was matted and dirty. Without hesitation, Mr. Johnson decided to adopt (收养) the little dog, whom he named Max.

At first, Max was extremely timid (胆小的). He would cower (蜷缩) in the corner of the room whenever there was a loud noise. But Mr. Johnson was patient. He spent hours sitting beside Max, gently stroking (抚摸) his fur and talking to him in a soft voice. Slowly but surely, Max began to trust his new owner.

As the days turned into weeks, Max grew stronger and more energetic. He would follow Mr. Johnson everywhere, whether it was to the garden to tend to the flowers or to the mailbox to pick up the daily mail. One evening, Mr. Johnson fell ill suddenly. He collapsed (倒下) in the living room, and Max immediately sensed that something was wrong.
