13、his first fictional work. It appeared in weekly parts in a magazine in 1894 and as a book the following year. At the time, Wells was married to his second wife and was trying to support both her and her mother. He needed to make money, so he wrote it quite quickly. Although he was never really happy

14、 with the finished book, it was a great success and allowed him to continue as a writer. It is not easy for us to understand how different this book was from others of the time.

20、te the great and famous works of Wells.CThe phrase Stolen Generation refers to the countless number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed from their families under government policy and direction. This was active policy during the period from the 1910s into the

21、1970s, and arguably still continues today under the banner of child protection. The removal of Indigenous (本土的) children was rationalized (合理化) by various governments by claiming that it was for their protection. A further reason used by the government of the day was that it was believed that “Pure

22、Blood” Aboriginal people would die out and that the “Mixed Blood” children would be able to assimilate into (融合) society much easier, this being based on the prejudice that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were racially inferior to people with Caucasian (白人) background. Once a child was

23、 removed from their family, they were forced to assimilate into the White Society. This included being forbidden to speak their traditional language or participate in any form of cultural practice or activity, and having to adopt new names and identities. Many of these children were informed that th

24、eir families had either given them up or had died. For some of them, they developed a shame of their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage and as they grew older and started their own families, they continued to hide their heritage from their family.

25、e then Prime Minister of Australia, made an apology to the members of the Stolen Generation.

30、 storm. In fact, teens are hardwired to seek challenge. According to a study by University College London (UCL), risk-taking behavior peaks during adolescence.

In another study at the University of Texas at Austin, participants aged 8 to 30 were given money as a reward for correctly identifying an image.

Dopamine motivates the brain to seek rewards and is linked to addiction. Thus, the researchers concluded that teens are more willing to take risks in order to expe

Healthy risk-taking activities include playing sports, outdoor adventu
