Is the word challenging a negative connotation?

The word challenging can have either a positive or negative connotation. It has a negative when there's little reward for accomplishing something difficult but has a positive connotation when the accomplishment is expected to be rewarding monetarily or personally satisfying. A challenge itself is not positive or negative, it's the circumstance of the challenge that determines that.

The biggest burden on youngsters is to make a positive impact on the society. Their challenge is how to do that. In my opinion they should not just follow the traditional path blindly but use their creativity to do something special and meaningful.

What diagnostic test evaluates the ability of the lungs to take in and expel air?

There is a test called the "Methacholine Challenge." This tests your lung capacity, and is used by MEPS (military entrance processing station) to determine if someone has the lung capacity to participate in the US military. I myself took this test shortly after turning 18, only to determine my lung capacity was not high enough, thanks to my own carelessness (smoking heavily for the days leading up to my test). In brief, they hook you up to sensors, put a mouthpiece-like object in your mouth, and you inhale and exhale as much oxygen as possible for a 5 minute period. During this test, they administer Methacholine into your lungs to determine the volume of your lungs, and if you have any symptoms of ashtma etc.
