【推荐1】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 than you could before. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.

You can’t see the changes in your brain, but they’re affecting how you develop into an adult. At this time in your life, there is a process going on inside your brain that makes it work faster and more efficiently. Imagine that the structure（结构）of your brain is like a big road map. There are lots of roads leading to different destinations（终点）. When you were a child, as you learned new things, your brain created more and more roads leading to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, the most important places on the map have many different roads leading to them. Now your brain’s job is to make that map more efficient. It removes the roads that you don’t need and works to make the other roads faster.

As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually affect the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills to you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond（回应）to it with your hands, right? As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your videogame playing could be preparing you for a career such as a fighter pilot, or even a surgeon（外科医生）.

This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you’re good at and what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick with them if you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.

We do eye exercises. We wear sunglasses. We do lots of things to protect our eyes.     1    

Ears help us hear the world. But many things, such as loud noises, can cause hearing troubles. So how can we protect our ears? Let’s take a look together.

Keep your ears dry and warm

    2     If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little bit. This can help you get the water out of your ear. Also in summer, when the sun is shining, wear some sunscreen (防晒霜) on your ears.     3    

How to clean your ears

    4     The earwax (耳屎) itself comes out of the ear along with some dirt. Don’t clean your ears with anything sharp, or it can make the earwax go too deep into your ears and hurt them. But if your ears start to hurt, you can go to a doctor for help.

How to use headphones

Don’t listen to loud music on your headphones for a long time. Over-the-ear headphones (头戴式耳机) are better than in-ear ones.     5

With her eyes feeling increasingly tired and her vision blurry (视力模糊的), 16-year-old Tian Ting went to the hospital with her parents in January. She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5.0 to 4.6 in only a term. “A few of my friends have had the same experience lately,” Tian said.

In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education.

To protect students’ eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements (要求) for school supplies (供应品) and equipments that will take effect (生效) on March 1, 2022. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students’ textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point. Teachers should also try not to use projectors (投影仪) or other multimedia equipments (多媒体设备) that are too bright, Beijing Daily reported. There are also requirements for desks and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off (散发) as little blue light as possible.

Blue light is bad for our eyes, as it can kill the photoreceptor cells (光感器细胞) we need for vision, according to Harvard Medical School. Many of the electronic devices we use every day, like our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.

Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students’ eyesight in China. In May 2020, the National Health Commission urged schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.

1. In the first half of 2020, there were ________ of students becoming short-sighted.
