Sitting on exercise balls brings more than a smile to students and teachers.
Some fourth-graders at Conrad Weiser West Elementary School in Womelsdorf love their new
chairs--probably because they're not really chairs at all. The kids are sitting on the air-filled balls. But
different from those just for exercise, these have small legs that keep them from rolling. Sitting on a chair
all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students
have a ball. By using exercise balls instead of common chairs, teachers find students' posture (姿势) and
attention improved.
Dotti Pownall, a fifth-grader teacher in West Virginia, has been using balls as chairs since December
2008."The students love them." she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80 percent,
thought sitting on the balls helped them concentrate (专注) better: "Besides, they're fun," says Pownall.
According to WittFitt, a company that has sold balls to more than 200 schools, they can improve kids'
posture and classroom behavior.
Exercise ball chairs are getting popular in classrooms, from preschool to college. Some adults (成人)
even use them at work. Lisa Witt felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs that she started WittFitt.
She said the company not only encourages the use of balls but also educates teachers and students on how
to use them."We sell balls in 24 states in America, three provinces in Canada and Japan." says Witt.
B. make students smarter

C. was set up by Lisa Witt
D. is famous around the world
B. Pownall works as a teacher

A
People say that George Washington, the first president of the United States, never told a lie. But it seems that the president was not without faults.
A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 1789. He didn’t return them.
If he were still alive, he would have to pay the library ＄300,000 for being 220 years late.
On October 5, 1789, when the first president borrowed the books form the New York Society Library, he didn’t sign his name in the borrower’s book. He just wrote “president” to show who had taken them out.
The two books should have been brought back a month later but were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing.
The New York Society Library doesn’t expect anyone to pay the fine. But it hopes that someone will return the books.
