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, theyre fun,b says Pownall.According to WittFitt,b 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.27 .

Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signalsPilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training, When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, yes. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means no. If you want the pilot to know that its safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your knees. If you want to say that its not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so its a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isnt hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a tire unless youre sure that it cant spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIts a good idea lo build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If you cant find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F I need food and waterII I need medicine.I I am badly hurt.X I am unable lo move from here.Pilots repliesIf the pilot lowers the planes wings from side to side, this means: message received and understood (At night, the pilot flashes the planes green lights.) If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means message received hut not understood (At night, the: pilot flashes the plants red lights.)However, there is no signal which means message not received.31 .
