    James, 14, England.Nowadays, teenagers are the

    same throughout the world. We areinspired by the same things and love

    doing the same activities. I dont thinka Chinese teen is different at

    all from me.

    Yaritza, 15, Brazil.Of course I feel Brazilian, but I

    also feel like other teens throughoutthe world. I can see we are similar when

    we chat on the Internet. We share thesame feelings, and talk about the

    same topics.

    Atzuko,14, Japan.

    My identity is not in my nationality,It is in my art. Im studying art at anAmerican school and I feel like the

    rest of my classmates.

    Ludvik,15, Czech Republic. My

    national identity is very i mportant tome, although I see myself more as a

    European or a westerner teen.

    Carmen, 14, Chile.Identity? No, I dont feel different

    from teenagers from other parts of theworld. I wear the same clothes; I like and

    do the same things. So, why do I haveto feel different?

    hours of homework and then I usually watch TV. I also like

    reading. On the weekend, I meet my friends and I go

    shopping. Sometimes we go to the park and play baseball.

    Tell me about you! What is your life like?

    Hi, Bao-Yu! My name is Kenny. I am fourteen years old

    and I live in Seattle, in the USA. Wow, your life isreally different to mine. I always get up at 7 in the

    The bicentennial manExtract

    Gerald Martin took Andrew to the regional offices of the

    United States Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation. As a

    member or the Regional Legislature, he had no trouble at all

    in gaining an interview with the chief robopsychologist. Infact, it was only as a member of the Regional Legislature that

    he qualified as a robot owner in the first place - in those early

    days when robots were rare.

    Andrew did not understand any of this at the time, but in

    later years, with greater learning, he could review that early

    scene and understand it in its proper light.

    The robopsychologist, Merton Mansky, listened with a

    growing frown and more than once managed to stop his

    fingers at the point beyond which they would have irrevocably

    drummed on the table. He had drawn features and a lined

    forehead, but he might actually have been younger than

    he looked.

    Robotics is not an exact art, Mr. Martin, Mansky explained.

    I cannot explain it to you in detail, but the mathematics

    governing the plotting of the positronic pathways is far too

    complicated to permit of any but approximate solutions.

    Naturally, since we build everything around the three laws, those are incontrovertible. We

    will, of course, replace your robot.

    Not at all, said Sir. There is no question of failure, on his part. He performs his assigned

    duties perfectly. The point is he also carves wood in exquisite fashion and never the same

    twice. He produces works of art.

    Mansky looked confused. Strange. Of course, were attempting generalized pathways these

    days. Really creative, you think?See for yourself. Sir handed over a little sphere of wood on which there was a playground

    scene in which the boys and the girls were almost too small to make out, yet they were in

    perfect proportion and they blended so naturally with the grain that it, too, seemed to have

    been carved.

    Mansky was incredulous. He did that? He handed it back with a shake of his head. The

    luck of the draw. Something in the pathways.

    Can you do it again?

    Probably not. Nothing like this has ever been reported.

    Good! I dont in the least mind Andrews being the only one.

    I suspect that the company would like to have your robot back for study, Mansky said.

    Not a chance! Sir said with sudden grimness. Forget it. He turned to Andrew, Lets gohome, now.

    Adapted from:Watson, C. (2008, June 10) The life of a teen inventor.The Paly Voice.Retrieved January 10, 2013, from: http://palyvoice.com/node/19898

    Spencer Davis creates all types of inventions in

    his garage. He is a big fan of do-it-yourself

    inventing, which requires little more than a few

    pieces of trash, drugstore supplies, and a lot of

    imagination.

    Spencers passion for inventing began in eighth

    grade. Before that, he had done some experiments

    with barbecue skewers and rubber bands. Since

    then, his creations have improved in design,

    appearance, and technology.Over the years, Spencer has designed bunkers,

    tree houses, robots, and caffeinated cereal.

    Besides, Spencer also enjoys sillier types of

    inventing; he has fixed an old tape player to put

    his iPod inside and play it through the tape.

    Another high-voltage creation is what Spencer

    calls the glove. In essence, it is a leather glove

    with a battery and disposable camera parts wrapped

    in electrical tape.

    Although Spencers mother

    expresses some worries about

    his inventions, she is very

    supportive of Spencers hobby.

    For him, inventing is a

    constructive activity and its

    good for teens who might be involved in more

    destructive hobbies. He dedicates about six hours

    every weekend to work on his inventions. Then, he

    blows off steam and gets new inspirations byplaying video games.

    For the summer, Spencer has plans to build an

    electric boat powered entirely by solar panels.

    Spencer hopes to continue inventing through college

    and perhaps turn his experimentations into a career.

    Inventing is an investment, Spencer says.

    Some of the inventions will work and others wont,

    but in the end, you will be satisfied. Ill definitely

    be making stuff forever.
