In the past， I thought I was terrible at many things， such as math， French and science． Although I was good at drawing， I wasn't the best in my art class．I wanted to find out who I was，what I liked and how I could do it better．So， that winter，I took a notebook and kept my diary． When I filled that notebook，I started another one， and then another．

   Keeping a diary helps a lot． Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better． It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams， friendships and happiness． Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on． Personally， I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary．For example，when I am fighting with my dad， I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates．I'll write something like，"I might not have clear skin， but I like my eyes．"

   Right about now， you might be thinking： it sounds great， but I'm not a good writer； or I'd love to keep a diary， but my handwriting is terrible． Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules， so do whatever feels best．

Birth order﹣﹣﹣does it matter？ Are you different because you are the first， second， or third child in your family﹣﹣﹣or maybe the last of nine？

    A study found that first﹣borns have an average（平均的）IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order， perhaps because first﹣borns often help younger brothers and sisters， which improves their own skills． In 2007， an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first﹣borns ，33% are middle children， and 23% are last﹣borns． First﹣borns are more likely （可能的）to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay．

    If first﹣borns are more successful， last﹣borns are generally more agreeable． They are also more likely to be funny， possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table． Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families， and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four． According to a 2007 Time magazine article， "The power of Birth Order，" last﹣borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen．

    Then there are the middle children； we have not ignored（忽视） them!

Can a green machine help the world's poorest kids learn better？Nicholas Negroponte thinks so.He and his team of scientists have invented a new type of computer.As a result，many children who live in poverty （贫穷） will have their own laptop computers!

    Negroponte works at a university.He started a group called One Laptop Per Child （OLPC）.The people at OLPC don't work for money.They work to help children learn.OLPC makes computers that don't cost a lot.Then they sell the machines to governments of countries that have many people live in poverty.The governments then give the computes to kids for free.

    The XO Laptop computers are made for school﹣aged children in developing nations.Many of these children live in faraway areas and go to schools with classrooms.In order to work，the laptops have to be lasting and student﹣friendly.

    The machines have many fun characters like a built﹣in video camera，voice recording，and games.The WiFi lets students share information on the Web and read e﹣books.They also can make music and chat with friends.

    Another great character is that it can last for a long time.It can be hand charged and also can be recharged by connecting to a solar panel.Because of these characters the XO laptops make learning fun while helping the environment.

    The computers have a colorful name﹣"the green machine".Negroponte thinks they could make a difference in the lives of millions of kids.He says， "Every problem you can think of﹣poverty，peace，the environment﹣is solved with education."
