Girls' Day or Doll Festival takes place on March 3rd every year in Japan．Its origins go back to China，which had the custom of making a doll and then putting the doll in a river in order to get rid of bad luck．

Girls' Day in Japan is celebrated on the 3rd of March．And from mid to late February，families with daughters put out dolls in the hope that their daughters will grow up healthy and happy．One superstition（迷信）related to this is that if they are late in putting away the dolls when the festival is over，their daughters will become old maids．Most displays have just a prince and a princess，but some more beautiful displays include the dolls，along with candy，rice boiled with red beans，white sake（清酒），peach blossoms，diamond-shaped rice cakes，toys，and tiny furniture．Traditionally，parents or grandparents will begin their first display for their daughter or granddaughter，called hatsu zekku，when she is just one year old，and some families have passed their dolls down from generation to generation．When a girl gets married，she usually takes her dolls with her to her new home．Aside from displaying dolls．Japanese people used to go to view the peach blossoms，drink sake with a blossom in it，and bathe in water with blossoms．

The festival developed into the form we see today during the Edo Period（1603--1867），and it is still possible for people to buy Girls' Day dolls made during that time as well as ones made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in antique（古董）shops during the season．

“Please do not play with your toys on the living room furniture!”---that may be something you hear very often. However, thanks to British toy and furniture designer Amy Whitworth, now your parents may actually encourage you to play with your toys on the living room furniture---the Qubis Haus which is a playhouse by day,and a coffee table by night!

The innocent-looking centerpiece can be changed into a toy in a matter of minutes. What’s even more amazing is that it can be set up in many different configurations(配置)，which means one can have a new house every day!

If you are thinking this toyhouse is for girls only, think again! For one it is a classy neutral brown, _________bright pink. Also, Amy has built it just right size for those Star Wars characters to live in. And best of all, because the walls can be made to order, the coffee table can change into a beautiful palace or a control deck for a starship!

The Qubis Haus comes with full sets for the bedroom. Living room and the dining room. All the pieces of furniture are magnetic(地磁的)，so they stay put! Also because some creative kids like to build their own, some regular building blocks have been added! Finally, to ensure that other people’s Qubis Haus does not look exactly like yours, the furniture can be ordered in a variety of different fabrics(纤维织物).

April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls' horizons（视野）and raise their self-confidence.

For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive(主管).”says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work."

Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers Green High School for girls in north of London, has made the day a necessary part of careers education.

Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers Green, went with her mother Gwen to her Lawyer's office this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day. "I learned how to fill in a legal aid form and I read details of a case. Then I went to see the actual trial." she said.

Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It's really strange seeing Mum at work--running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.

Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.
