In most cases, almost everyone visit a café or friend’s house asks for the WiFi password first. The Internet seems have become one of your basic needs. And 60% of the world’s population still didn’t have Internet access. The situation is even more worse in the least developed countries---only one in 10 people have regular access to the Internet. That’s’ why in the recent survey, many people think of Internet access as a privilege instead of a human right.
However, the UN has made it clearly since 2011 that the Internet, that should be accessible to everyone, is a human right.

Being a teenager can be tough. “Troubled” and “rebellious(叛逆的)” are often labels that people give kids in their teens. There are even scientific theories explaining that the likelihood of teenagers taking is due to the fact that their brains aren’t fully developed yet. 1.
But a new study by researches at the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University may have finally cleared up this misunderstanding. 2.They simply are easily attracted by new things and are eager to explore the world.
The adolescents(青少年) lack experience. 3.This personality trait(特征)is called “sensation seeking”, which is shared by a lot of people and usually peaks during adolescence.
Instead of being something to worry about, sensation seeking is actually necessary, since the process of learning usually goes hand in hand with taking risks. "Teenagers need to build experience so that they can do a better job in making the difficult and risky decisions in later life. ‘Should I take this job? or ‘ 4.’ ”said Valerie Reyna, co –author of the study.
“5.If they don't make a mistake in their teenage years, they will have no life experience when they turn 18 and step out of their parents' protection and into a world that 's unknown to them. Kids need the freedom to test out boundaries while still in a safe environment,” wrote Ann Robinson, editor of The Guardian.
A. Should I marry this person?
B. It turns out that teenagers are fine
C. Adolescents should do as follows
D. What can parents do to help the kids?
E. There s something scarier than taking a risk.
F. in other words, they just can t help it.
G. Therefore, they keep trying things out for the first time in their life.
The next time your brain refuses to recall a simple fact or name, be thankful. That could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you make better decisions.
The researchers say there are numerous neurobiological(神经生物学的)studies conducted on how the brain stores information, a process called persistence (暂留). However, scientists also assumed that our occasional inability to recall facts was due to a are an the brain. In 2013, scientists discovered that as new neurons combine with the hippocampus(海马区)----a region of the brain that plays a significant role in learning and remembering---they overwrite old memories, making them harder to access. There is also evidence that the brain weakens or removes connections between neurons, in which memories are encoded.
The scientists have a theory on why the brain spends so much energy erasing memories. They say what the brain decides to forget is determined by our daily life. An example is that our brains remember phone numbers according to the need. Instead of storing this irrelevant information that our phones can store for us, our brains are freed up to store the memories that actually do matter for us. They also believe that memorizing too much detail could prevent us from making good decisions.
So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, don’t be hard on yourself. Just throw it to your brain’s “rubbish can” to make room for information that can contribute to making you smarter! Remember, even Albert Einstein was absent-minded!
