I39。m clever at high flying exercises. I jump from spaceships and as I fall, I turn, dive, circle and dance until I softly land as close as I can to the finishing line. Robot petitions in the 23rd century are truly a popular sport. Fans from all over China watch their hand—held TVs when a petition es on. Last time I took part in the 78th Olympics and I won the silver medal for my performance. This year I was very proud to be chosen again. I wanted to meet robots from other countries and explore ideas about our sport. However, my programmer fell ill the week before we were leaving. It was very painful for her and I felt very scared. I didn39。t feel so confident that I would win. The day of the petition was rather cold for my legs and my special oil began to freeze. I stopped for a moment（which I shouldn39。t）before I jumped from the starting place on a little spaceship, then I began my performance. At the correct moment I tried to open my parachute（降落傘）but there was a problem. It only opened a little. I began to fall faster and faster so that I could not turn, dive, circle or dance. My heart stopped beating as I landed heavily on a mountain covered with snow. This is why I am writing to you from my hospital bed with two broken legs and a weak head. I did not win anything at the Olympics after all. I need the factory to build me two new legs and an even bigger head. Then I will be able to pete once more.

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 panies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink.
