This summer I attended my first music festival． Unlike most of the festival﹣goers. We didn't buy tickets．Instead， we volunteered as festival stewards． We each worked 3 shifts﹣each shift was 8 hours long﹣ in exchange for a free ticket to the festival．

Leeds Festival is a large music festival which takes place yearly at the end of August． And thousands of people attend it each year．

There were several diffrerent stage， each catering for a different music taste：rock pop，alternative and dance． As well as the fantasic music on offer， there were also funfair rides， food outlets and a silent disco． I loved silent discos：everyone had a set of headphones with two channels and music was played through the headphonos． As a result， people could dance and sing along to completely different songs!

While we weren't working． we were freeto enjoy the festival． We saw a wide variety of artists across the weekend． I really enjoyed seeing Imagine Dragons， Vampire Weekend and， of course， Antie Monkeys．

We camped for five nights and it was freezing every night! However， we had a really nice campsite I had a great time and would definitely be returning the next year!

Earthquakes usually come without warning． What should you do if this happens to you？ An earthquake is dangerous， but there are still things you can do to protect yourself．

Do you believe that only boys do well in science？Does it seem to you that girls have better language skills than boys？In your opinion，are boys better at building things？If your answer to each of those questions is "Yes"，you are right．According to an article in Current Science．"There are exceptions（例外），but here are the facts．"

Usually，boys score higher on tests about math，while girls do better in tests about words，spelling and memory．But these differences may not always be true．In the future．a person's abilities may not be decided by sex．As one scientist says，"Nothing is impossible for a person to be or do．"

A recent study by Jerome Kagan，a scientist at Harward University is studying the watching ability of children 10 months old．Baby boys and baby girls are watching a "show" while seated on their mothers' laps．In ActⅠof the show，an orange﹣colored hall is lifted from a blue box and moved slowly．Then it is returned to the box．This is repeated six times．ActⅡis almost the same，except that the orange ball is smaller．

Baby boys do not seem to notice the difference in the size of the ball，but girls immediately become excited and begin to make noises that sound like language．

It's also known that baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than baby boys do．Scientists believe that the left side of the brain develops faster in girls than in boys．As a result，by the time they start to school，little girls have an advantage that boys don't have，but what have the boys been doing in the year before starting school？They have been developing something called aggression．An aggressive person feels strong and independent．He is often the first one to start a fight．It is said that aggression is caused by hormones（荷尔蒙）．Scientists believe that hormones are not the only cause．They say aggression in boys is also caused by mothers．
