A Read the article on page 93 and divide it into four parts according to the general ideas.
Growing up
Puberty is the stage of life when young people leave childhood and head into adulthood. It is a difficult process for teenagers because it has an effect on both their minds and bodies. They need to understand what is going on with their bodies, how to deal with those changes and how to start taking responsibility for themselves.
A young person may begin puberty at 8, while another may not start puberty until 14 or 15. In general, girls start puberty two years before boys do. For both girls and boys, it is usually complete by the age of 18. During these years, the body develops in many ways. Feelings can also change quickly.
During these years, the body develops in many ways. Feelings can also change quickly.
Teenage boys at this stage often begin to take unnecessary risks. Their focus is on having fun and being accepted by others. They need to think before they act and make good decisions for themselves.
A girl’s personality often does not develop in the same way as a boy’s. Teenage girls sometimes lose confidence in themselves. They are no longer certain about their own feelings. Yet they are usually afraid to tell their parents or teachers about their problems. For this reason, teenage girls should be encouraged to discuss things with trusted adults.

The “new” medicine that is old — TCM
Today when people in the West need medical help, they often choose a “new” kind of medicine that is actually quite old. They choose traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
TCM uses many different kinds of treatments. Herbal medicines are used, for example, to help bring balance to the body.
Many of the treatments used in TCM have helped people for thousands of years. The Chinese scientist Tu Youyou discovered qinghaosu when she studied ancient Chinese herbal medicines. It is now an important treatment for malaria. She was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery.
