Felicia Grimmenhag from Sweden doesn't let anything get in her way，even a life﹣changing accident.
After a serious car accident，Felicia had to get used to getting around in a wheelchair（轮椅） .But that didn't stop her from following her dream of becoming a top horse rider.
In early June 2011，17﹣year﹣old Felicia got hit by a car.When she woke up in the hospital，she found both of her legs were missing.However，Felicia didn't quit trying to achieve her dream.She wanted to get back on the horse.She had ridden as a little girl and decided in the hospital to try again.She was n't sure if she would be able to.But after ten weeks' training，she could ride once again!
"The horses have meant a lot to me， "Felicia said."When I sit on a horse，I don't feel like the disabled Felicia，I feel like the confident（自信的）Felicia."
She has since taken part in competitions around the world，showing she doesn't need legs to win.Last year，she won silver at the Swedish Championships，and now she is preparing for the Tokyo Paralympics.
"What I have learned from all this is that you should dare to challenge yourself，and remember that you are the only person that sets your own limits（限制), "Felicia said.

Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to challenge (挑战) a world famous scientist!
Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator (酸碱指示剂). They want it to take the place of litmus (石蕊) paper.
"We’ve learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other."
British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world.
But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn’t turn very blue with base matter. It’s hard to get a clear result.
Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out!
How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground (研磨) leaves, flowers and stems (茎) to get the pigments (色素) from them.
The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which paper showed the best colour change. They decided it was the litmus paper!
"It’s our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder." Whom did the three kids want to challenge?
| A．Their chemistry teacher. | B．Their headmaster. |
| C．Robert Boyle | D．Thomas Edison |
