9．Tuvalu is located in the South Pacific．It is tiny and has only nine islands with a population of just 11，000．In 1999，it was the third-poorest country in the world．The islanders earned just﹩1，000 each year．
   But then something unusual happened．Tuvalu received an internet domain （领土） name-the letters"tv"．These letters were very interesting for many companies around the world．A communication company from California offered to buy the domain name"tv"for﹩40 m．For the Tuvalans this was a very large amount of money．The islanders became very rich．
Because of global warming，and because the islands are only 3m above sea level，Tuvalu will probably become the first country in the world that will disappear under the sea．
You can already see signs of the rising sea on Tuvalu．Some beaches are disappearing and you can see tree roots by the ocean．Cyclones（旋风）used to be very rare but they now appear a few times a year，and the rains that come with the cyclones cause flooding．Despite these problems，the Tuvalans had their new money．They could use it to buy themselves a future．Or at least they could use it to buy some time．Paul Lindsay，a documentary film-maker，took these questions with him all the way to Tuvalu，and came back with an incredible （难于置信的）story．As the water rises，the Tuvalans are using the money to develop the land．They are building new houses，planning nightclubs，restaurants and hotels and new cars are driving around on new roads．The residents do not think this is strange："Just because we are sinking，it doesn't mean we don't want to raise our standards of living．"Sam Teo，Tuvalu's minister for natural resources told Lindsay．

5．Men who wear pink shirts to work earn more and are easier to get a higher position than those who prefer traditional shirt colors，such as white and blue，according to a recent survey．Researchers also found that men who wore pink were more likely to get praise （赞美） from female co-workers and were more confident in the office．
A classical pink shirt wearer earns￡1，000more a year than those who choose other colors，researchers surveyed among 1，500male office workers．Men who wear pink are also twice as likely to have the Master's degree as those who prefer white shirts，with one in ten pink shirt wearers having a PHD．
Stephanie Thiers-Ratcliffe，International Marketing Manager for Cotton USA，who took charge of the study，said，"You can tell a lot about someone by the color he wears．Pink is a color that more and more men have been   embracing recently，and it is encouraging that they are not afraid to experiment with that bright color．They spend most of their days at work and their own confidence needs to remain smart．It is good for company standards（标准），but that doesn't mean that they have to wear boring clothes．"Pink shirt wearers on the other hand are more likely to have a low-carbon （低碳） life for half of them prefer to choose public means of transportation to go to work．
The report also found men who preferred green shirts were the most likely to be late for work，while white shirt fans were the most punctual（准时的）．And if you are trying hard for a higher position，it is best to dress in a purple shirt．In the last five years，men who preferred purple shirts have had the high pay rise，so it is no wonder that one in twenty of them drives a car which needs￡20，000or more to buy．
