If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls：there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls ；and dark colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.
Some people think that too much pink is bod for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some
scientists, this happens for two reasons.Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect （影响）the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.
Some parents are worried too —for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. \gentle.Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I'm worried that pink will not help them with that.\she says.
But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. \forget that things change all the time. He says \they were little, but as they get older, they change.\explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. \love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change.\adds.\only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink—before that it was a color forboys\

Big data(数据) is。lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spendon the computer
Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travelon buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools usebig data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certainstudents more help or support so those students can succeed in school.

understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to seewhen people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is bum too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of peopleare likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way.
