Where you sit and how you fit
（1） For more than seventy years，researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners．Where do you usually decide to sit？ Have you ever really thought about the reasons for your decision？
（2） But is this really true？ Well，some researchers say it is not．In fact，shy students often choose the back row because it is far away from the teacher and they don′t want to answer questions，At the back，students probably won't speak much，but in big classrooms，it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying．This could be the reason why students who sit here often get lower grades on tests and exams．For students with poor eyesight or hearing，a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice．
（3） However，they like watching and listening rather than joining in．These students are usually also very good at taking notes．Next time you miss a class，borrow notes from someone who sits here．On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and thoughtful people．These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning．
（4） Then the statistics（统计数据） say you probably like your teacher．You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates．Caring，outgoing，and cheerful people usually sit in the middle．They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams．
（5） Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject．They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says．The only problem with sitting here is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class．
So， if you really want to hear what everyone says in class， choose a different place to sit．
A．You probably sit right at the front of the class if you're longing for knowledge．
B．Research suggests that the seat you choose in the classroom says a lot about you and your personality．
C．Do you sit in the middle of the classroom？
D．This means it's a good idea to sit in a different place every day．
E．People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy．
F．Students who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in class．
If you go shopping in any toy store，you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls：there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls；and dark﹣ colored cars，guns，and soldiers for boys．Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys．In fact，it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink．
Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls．Sue Palmer，writer of Toxic Childhood， is very
worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color．According to some scientists，this happens for two reasons．Firstly，most companies offer too many products in pink．Also，many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink．Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves，but the pink can affect （影响） the choices and the decisions they will make in the future．
Some parents are worried too﹣﹣ for example，Vanessa Holburn，thirty﹣two，who has two girls under the age of four．Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy．"Pink says that you are soft and gentle．Blue says that you are strong and powerful． I want my daughters to be strong and powerful．I′m worried that pink will not help them with that， "she says．
But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink．Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all． "People forget that things change all the time，" he says． "My girls used to love pink when they were little，but as they get older，they change． "Turner explains that his twelve﹣year﹣old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore． "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change， "he adds， "It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink﹣﹣ before that it was a color for boys．"

Smile Train is a charity（慈善团体） that helps the millions of children around the world，who suffer
from a facial defect （缺陷）．The defect happens when a baby ' s top lip or mouth doesn't form properly before birth．Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies．The charity provides free operations，which give these children a new smile，and with it，new hope and a new beginning．
Children with the defect need all the help．Although many sufferers are accepted by their families，sadly，others are not．In some countries，children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations． The good news is that the operation is not difficult．It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing．The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations．

life．After years of staying at home，the children can finally go to school and be happy．Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train．Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising．One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train．Luckily for her，she was found and adopted（收养）by a passenger．This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital． I did the operation and gave hope to the family．Experienced doctors like me share our kills with local doctors．In this way we make sure that these operations will always be available．"
