People are warned not to eat while driving. Any driver who is caught eating while at the wheel will be stopped by the police. Then he will be fined up to 50 for it. Drivers are not allowed to read a map, make a phone call or listen to very loud music while driving. Besides, it is against the rules for the motorists to use any kind of earphones. Things change easily on the road. Drivers never know what will happen next.

From July 2 on, it will be illegal to smoke when there is a child aged 12 or under in the car. Smoking is also banned (禁止) outdoors at children’s play areas, including those at motorway rest areas. Notices in several languages have been put up at motorway service stations to warn foreign visitors of the rules.

Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You are 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 ifyou think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.

28.What happens as children learn new things? A. Their brains make the maps more efficient.

B. The structures of their brains are like big road maps. C. Many different roads lead to the most important places. D. Their brains create more roads to different destinations. 29.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Something you see. B.Your brain. C. Your skill. D. Something you learn. 30.What’s the writer’s advice for teenagers?
