Teenager Jake Deham was skiing with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis. His family didn't know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.

    Jake couldn't find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn't work out the right way to go.

    It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm. At home, Jake watched a lot of programs about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programs and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn't blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous-15℃ that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.

    But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programs always said," If you are lost, you should find someone else's tracks(足迹) through the snow and follow them." "I wanted to live my life." remembers Jake." So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those." He walked and walked and finally he saw lights. Nine hours after he lost his ski, he found a team of worker who came to save him. He was safe!

    His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didn't even have to go to hospital. He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.

    So, the next time someone says that watching TV is a waste of time, think of Jake. Sometimes TV can save your life!

Liam Garer was 17 years old when he stood at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, pointed his bike south and started cycling. On January 10,2023,527 days later, he arrived in Ushuaia—the world's southernmost city, in the south American country of Argentina. He cycled 32, 000 km through 14 countries, becoming the youngest person ever to do so.

After finishing high school, Garner didn't want to go to college right away and he wanted to learn more about the world. Then, someone advised him to read the book—To ShakeThe Sleeping Self. It tells the story of a man who biked from Oregon to Patagonia. After reading it, Garner kept thinking to himself, "If that man could do it, why can't I?" So, he decided to give it a try.

Garner camped from Alaska all the way to Central America. After that, he stayed in hostels (招待所) and strangers' homes as he cycled through South America. He advised everyone to see the world if possible. Although he experienced lots of difficulties along the way, he believed that nothing was more important than hope.

So what's next for Garner? Well, he's not going to fly home. He plans to send his bike home and walk back from Argentina.

For most teenagers, the kitchen may be a mysterious(神秘的) place. But Flynn McGarry is already able to take charge of(掌管) a kitchen.

At the age of 15, he was already a well-known teenage chef in the US. He has opened his own dining club at home and works with some of the best restaurants in his country.

McGarry's love for cooking started at the age of 10. He practiced his knife skills after school and taught himself from books and the Internet. In his room, there are no video games, basketballs or movie posters, but pots, cutting boards and pans(平底锅).

When he was 11, McGarry's parents helped turn his bedroom into a monthly supper club called Eureka. Each month, he hosted his mother's friends and soon won the title of "culinary prodigy(烹饪神童)". Now, people pay $160(979 yuan) per person to eat at Eureka.

McGarry does not stick with just simple types of cuisine(菜肴). He likes creating interesting dishes. "I could take a carrot and raise it to this amazing level that you'd never think you're eating a carrot," he said. The New York Times described his meals as "creative enough to make an experienced chef inferior(逊色的)."

As for the future, McGarry dreams of being a Michelin-starred chef. He plans to open his own restaurant by 19 and make it, as he puts it, "the best restaurant in the world."
