Changes in a teen's physical and cognitive（认知的）development come with big changes in their relationships with family and friends. Teens want more (independent) and more emotional distance between them and their parents. A teen's focus often changes to social interactions and friendships.

During the teens, a much (deep) understanding of one's self occurs. Teens start to learn to work out problems on (they) own. With more reasoning and intuitive（直觉的）abilities, teens start to face new responsibilities and to enjoy their thoughts and actions. Teens start to have thoughts and fantasies about their future and adult life.

Teens spend more time with friends. They report feeling more understood and accepted by their friends. Less and less time  (spend) with parents and other family  (member).

Close friendships tend to develop between teens with similar interests and social classes. While childhood friendships tend to be based  commom activities， teen friendships expand(扩大）to include similarities in attitudes,values,and 

(share) activties.Teen friendshipps also tend to focus on educational interests. Especially for girls, close, intimate（亲密的）, self-disclosing conversations with friends help to explore identities and define one's sense of self. The friendships of teen boys tend to be less intimate those of girls. Boys are more likely to form an alliance（结盟）with a group of friends accept each other's worth through actions and deeds rather than (person) sharing.

There was a girl who could do anything she wanted. All she had to do was to choose something and 1  So, one day she sat down and began to 2 . Every stroke (笔画）was more perfect than the next. When she finished painting, she stared 3  at her work and smiled.

It was obvious that she had a 4 . She was an artist. But a few moments after she finished painting. she got 5  and quickly stood up. Because she realized that 6  she had the ability to do anything she 7  to do, she was simply spending all her time painting.

She felt like there was so much more in the world to see and do-so many 8 . And if she decided to do something else, then all the time she spent painting would be a 9  So she walked out the door.

She had to choose one thing to do out of all the possibilities in the world. Should she practice medicine? Or design buildings? She was 10  

Twenty-five years later, the girl began to cry. She 11 that over the years she had become so enamored (迷恋) of everything that she could do that she hadn't done anything 12 at all. And she learned, at last, that life isn't about 13 —anything is possible. Life is about making a decision.

So the girl continued painting through the day and into the night，because she had 14  made a decision.And there was still some 15  to enjoy the magic that life is all about.

Teenagers hate being treated like children, but don't expect them to be teenagers. but parents trying to encourage these changes often do more harm than good.

For example, you and the rest of your family are heading up to the mall for a few hours. , so you decide not to encourage her to come with you. It seems like a very respectful thing to take into account her feelings, but when you return she is unhappy. . She could have been caught up in a friend drama or some other kind of drama, or she could be feeling hurt. , but maybe you should have at least talked with her about it. Even knowing that you wanted to spend time with her would probably have made her feel good.

Some people may say that it is unreasonable for parents to allow their children to ask for constant (不断的) attention, but spending 30 extra seconds to make sure your children know you care about them only allows them to have a part of the self-worth they are so lacking (缺乏) at this time in their lives.

Expecting them to be emotionally distant (疏远)from you only strengthens the idea that they should be. . When they need a break from the high school soap opera, you will both be glad you didn't close that door.

A. So you are trying to be supportive

B. Actively listen to her and say as little as possible

C. Maybe she really didn't want to go to the mall with you

D. Your daughter doesn't want to be seen with you in public

E. Many things could have gone wrong while you were away

F. Always give them the choice to be an independent teen or your baby girl

G. They are growing up and may want to change things about their habits or activities

"Helicopter (直升机) parenting" describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term describes parents who hover    over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.

Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for Success. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style. She also explains why parents should stop it.

Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting first-hand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students, or freshmen, she says, were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves. "They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem-solving, to have them make the choice about something."

Lythcott-Haims warns this kind of parenting has many short-term wins but long-term costs that harm the child. She uses an area common to most children--a playground. Lythcott-Haims suggests letting your child get a little hurt.

"If you do your child's homework, it will be perfect. That is what she calls the short-term win. The long-term cost is that your child may not feel capable. And he does not become a determined learner, meaning he will give up easily when faced with a difficult problem to solve." So what can parents do if they want to break the over-parenting "helicopter" cycle? Reading Julie's book, you can follow some ways to stop hovering over your children.In a word, when kids have all the skills to take care of themselves, they will be prepared for adulthood.

Jack White is a 17-year-old student who has already published a collection of poetry with a local publisher. Jack believes switching (转) to an all-boys school from his coed (男女同校) high school changed his life.

"When I was at my coed school, poetry was for girls， not boys. Guys were supposed to like subjects like math, computers, and science. When I wrote poems, the guys at school used to make fun of me and girls didn't want to date me. At my new school, things are different. I don't worry what girls are thinking since there aren't any."

Jack may not realize that boys and girls also learn and think differently based on specific (具体的) biological developments. These differences affect how and when boys and girls learn, so single-sex education is actually better for children. 

Take, for example, brain development. The areas of the brain related to language, feelings, physical coordination (协调), and social relationships, develop in a different order and speed in girls and boys. Research has shown that girls' brains develop the connections between language and emotions earlier than boys' brains. In a single-sex classroom, everyone's brain is developing at similar speeds, so teachers can teach according to their students' actual abilities.

Boys and girls also have different hearing abilities. Girls have a sense of hearing which is two to four times better than boys. Women teachers often speak more quietly, so boys may have more difficulty hearing a woman teacher if she is talking in her "normal" voice. The teacher needs to speak louder to get the boys' attention. In a single-sex school, teachers do not have to keep adjusting (调整) their voice.

Jack might not be aware of the biological arguments why single-sex education is better, but he realizes that he is learning faster at his new school. As Jack says, "I hated writing and studying English in my old coed school, but now I'm a published poet! My new school helped me become comfortable with who I really am. "

I waited 14 years to do something that I should have done in my first year of teaching: shadow a student for a day.

This is the first year I am working in a school but not teaching my own classes. Being the High School Learning Coach, a new position for the school this year, my job is to work with teachers and administrators（管理人员） to improve students' learning outcomes.

As part of getting my feet wet, my principal suggested I "be" a student for a day: I was to complete all the work of a 10th-grade student. My task was to do everything the student was supposed to do: If there were notes on the board, I copied them as fast as I could into my notebook; if there was a chemistry experiment, I did it with my host student; if there was a test, I took it.

I could not believe how dog-tired I was after the day, because I literally sat down the whole day, except for walking to and from classes. We forget as teachers, because we are on our feet a lot — in front of the board, walking as we speak, circling around the room to check on student work... we move a lot.

But students almost never move, because in every class, the expectation was for us to come in, take our seats, and sit down for the whole class. Therefore, by the end of the day I was eager to move. I had planned to go back to my office and write down some notes on the day, but I was so exhausted that I couldn't do anything but watch TV and I was in bed by 8:30.

If I could do back and change my classes now, I would immediately change the following three things:

① mandatory stretch（强制伸展）halfway through the class;

② put a basketball hoop（篮筐）on the back of my door and encourage kids to play in the first and final minutes of class;

③ build a hands-on, move-around activity into every single class day.

The annual Halloween arrived, during which kids dressed in traditional clothes went to neighbors' houses to ask for candy.

Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor.But Allison still thanked her dad and said,"Everyone will love my dress!" Then, she left for neighbors' houses to ask for candy.

On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them."No! Look at your dress! It's ugly!" Anna said. Her friends also laughed."Look at our dresses, especially mine! It's new and beautiful," Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna's dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich.

Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it."You can't come with us!" Anna stressed."We would never hang out with you!" The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street.

Anyway, she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn't need to hangout with Anna or her friends."I'll go just alone,"the little girl said to herself and started walking.

She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan's house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them.And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan's house.

Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison's poor dress.She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson.

3D bio-printing inside the human body could be possible thanks to a new soft robot. The device featuresprinting head directly mounted onto the tip of a soft robotic arm. This printing head, consists of soft artificial muscles that allow it to move in three directions,works very(similar) to conventional desktop 3D printers.

The soft robotic arm van bend and twist and can be made at any length (require), The printing nozzle(喷嘴)can be programmed to print per-determined shapes,or operated manually; addition, a research team used a machine learning-based controller which can aid the printing process.

The team(explain)how the device could potentially be used as an all-in-one surgical tool to perform a range of(function). They said this could be especially important in surgery(remove) certain cancers.

The ability to carry out such multi-functional procedures(demonstrate) on a pig's intestine(肠) last month and the researchers say the results show that the device is a(promise)candidate for the future development of an all-in-one endoscopic surgical tool. The next stage of development for the system is in vivo(活体的)testing on living animals to demonstrate its practical use.

During my stay at the University of Michigan, one of the senior professors asked me to join a seminar on culture and emotion. In a general1 of self-introductions, I introduced myself in a(n)2 Dutch way as one of those who are"interested in culture and emotion". The professor supplemented(补充) my self-introduction to3 American standards, saying I was one of the world's experts on the4 .In response, I looked down in 5 ,and thought that "expert" was a big word.

When I lived in North Carolina, my new friends came over to 6 . Conversations were full of interest and energy, and there was a lot of 7 .At the end of the evening, when my guests left, they thanked me for the dinner. My heart 8  , because I was born and raised in the Netherlands, where"thanking for dinner"means the relationship is 9 .Emotions are different enough to feel out of 10  when you move from one culture to another. The professor at the University of Michigan meant to make me feel 11 , but instead made me uncomfortable. My friends meant to show 12 , but they made me think they were distancing themselves from me.

We think about emotions as feelings deep inside us, but in 13 , our emotions happen in interactions with others. In my own culture, it was hard to observe the 14  emotions of others, but I was able to see them when I moved to the US—a different 15 from where I was raised.

Born in 1961, Snoussi, a Frenchman, first came to China in 1983. At that time, he was a law student at Aix-en-Provence University and accompanied his father on a business trip to China. 

In March 2006, Snoussi moved to Ningbo to help his father who had set up his export business. After living there for more than seven years, Snoussi realized that what he missed most was a traditional French bakery." . which made Chinese, Korean, or European-style bread, but we couldn't find that specific French taste. It was unlike our daily bread,because in my home country, bread is a bit like rice in China," he explained. In June 2013,Snoussi opened an authentic(正宗的)French bakery in Ningbo.Though he had no baking experience, he quickly learned the ropes from a French baker. .

What makes Mon Epoque unique is its authentic French identity, which guarantees a genuine French taste every day."We are one of the few French bakeries in China that directly imports flour from France, produced in the Cognac region from French wheat. . These are the two most important ingredients in baking. This allows us to guarantee the same taste and quality day in, day out. We pay attention to the quality and the taste of our products so that our patrons can experience the same feeling every day,"he said.

. In 2008,he donated over 30,000 yuan($4,300)to Wenchuan in Sichuan Province. In Ningbo, he donated T-shirts for students with disabilities and gave scholarships to outstanding students at a school. For several years, he sponsored(赞助)the Pink Ribbon Campaign organized by a team of foreign women to raise awareness about breast cancer. He also sponsored activities to encourage more people to look after stray dogs.

The idea that the normal human body temperature is about 37℃ was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it's become so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator of whether someone is sick or well. However, it turns out that this well-established fact isn't, in fact, correct—or, to put it more accurately, human beings have been getting cooler over the years.

Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended to run low compared to the accepted norm(标准), so the Stanford team, led by Julie Par-sonnet,

MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy, decided to do a more in-depth study to compare modern measurements with historical records to try to identify body temperature trends and, perhaps, uncover the reason why this cooling is happening.

For their research, the Stanford team looked at three distinct data sets from two historical periods. After going through 677,423 temperature measurements, the team found that men born in the 21st century had an average body temperature of 0.6℃ lower than that of those born in the early 19th century while modern women showed an average decrease of 0.03℃ compared to those born in the 1890s.

As to why this is happening, the researchers say that the most likely mechanism is a reduction in the human metabolic rate(代谢率)due to environmental factors: One possibility is that improvements in public health over 200 years have reduced the incidence of inflammations(炎症),which promote metabolism. This combined with people living more comfortable lives in more stable environments means that the body doesn't have to work as hard to stay warm, so the average temperature falls.

"The environment that we're living in has changed, including the temperature in our homes, our contact with microorganisms(微生物)and the food that we have access to. All these things mean that although we consider human beings as the same for all of human evolution, we're not the same. We're actually changing physiologically,"Parsonnet said.

PFAS are found in nonstick pans, water-proof fabrics and food packaging. They're called forever chemicals because of their ability to stick around and not break down. Now, using a bit of heat and two relatively common compounds, researchers have degraded(降解) the chemical in the lab.

While some scientists have found relatively simple ways of breaking down select PFAS,most degradation methods require harsh processes using intense pressure—in some cases over 22 mega-pascals—or extremely high temperatures—sometimes upwards of 1,000℃ —to break the chemical bonds.

William Dichtel, from Northwestern University in Evanston, and his team experimented with two substances found in nearly every chemistry lab; sodium hydroxide(氢氧化钠),also known as lye, and a solvent(溶剂)called DMSO. The team worked specifically on a group of forever chemicals which contain a large percentage of PFAS.

When the team combined chemicals with the lye and DMSO at 120℃ and with no extra pressure needed, the carbolic acid(羧酸)fell off the chemicals and became carbon dioxide."What happened next was unexpected," Dichtel said. The loss of the acid helped degrade the chemicals into fluoride ions(氟离子)and smaller carbon-containing products, leaving behind no harmful by-products.

"It's a neat method; it's different from others that have been tried," says Chris Sales, an environmental engineer at Drexel University in Philadelphia who was not involved in the study."The biggest question is how this could be adapted and scaled up. Understanding this mechanism is just one step in undoing forever chemicals," Sales said.

This process wouldn't work to deal with PFAS in the environment, because it requires a concentrated amount of the chemicals, but it could one day be used in wastewater treatment plants, where the pollutants could be filtered out of the water, concentrated and then broken down.

Visionary architects design buildings which speak for themselves. From towering concrete pillars to sculptural modernist domes(穹顶), the work of Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi defined Indian architecture for the latter half of the 20th century. Known as B. V. Doshi, he was a versatile modernist architect—he designed everything from accessible housing projects to the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore. Sadly, the great architect died on January 24,2023, at the age of 95, leaving behind a fascinating legacy.

Born on August 26, 1927, in Pune, southeast of Mumbai, Doshi grew up with his father and grandfather, a furniture maker. As a child he came to appreciate how their house grew and changed. In 1947, shortly before Indian independence, he began architecture school.However, he never finished, a fact which he'd later point to in life as an advantage. He married his wife Kamala Parikh in 1955. When she passed away, Doshi lived in a house he designed and named for his beloved wife.

Doshi was influenced by the famous Swiss-French architect known as Le Corbusier. Doshi studied with him in Paris and then returned to India to supervise the architect's work in Ahmedabad. In 1956, Doshi founded his own firm called Vastushilpa. He traveled the world lecturing at universities, worked with other famous architects, and even founded the Center for Environmental Planning and Technology (now CEPT University) focusing on understanding, designing, planning, constructing and managing human habitats.

"We did not want to imitate someone else's approach," he told the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2018."We wanted to find our own identity."He drew from his pride in Indian culture to create a style distinct from Western designs."I think of my buildings as my friends, my family,"he said."I have a conversation with them, and that's how I create niches and staircases and openings and gardens…my buildings are not only pure and clear but designed to anticipate changes

Aside from his modern works, Doshi was devoted to creating works to benefit the poor.He designed the Aranya Low Cost Housing Project in Indore. The photographer Iwan Baan,who photographed some of Doshi's works, described the artist as "the most approachable architect I know. Even very poor people in his public housing projects knew him, which is exceptional"
