Thorn found a number of differences in the way boys and girls interact with their same-sex friends. Girls engage in more cooperative kinds of play. For example, jumping rope or practicing dance steps together. Girls also tend to say “let’s…” or “Why don’t we…” to generate this play. Girls like to spend time with only one or two best friends. When there is conflict among friends, girls talk about the undesirable behavior of playmates behind their backs rather than their faces. As a result, a conflict between girls can take a long time to be resolved. In contrast, boys engage in competitive rough-and –tumble play and physical fighting. Boys also like to appear tough by making verbal threats. These kinds of threats are sometimes made in anger but they are also made in the spirit of play. Boys tend more to hang around with a larger group of casual friends. Boys are more direct and confrontational, so their conflicts are often over quite quickly.
Social lives
In China teenage boys and girls have very different social lives. For example, in school when students late the teacher will let boys to do push-up, but girls just stand and count the boys do push-up. In addition when a child at home, boys were generally moving things and go out buy things, while girls tend to be cooking. For instance when the boys have formed a group, they talk often revolve around computer games, cars, sports and beauty, but when the girls have formed a group. They always talk about cosmetics, clothes and pets. Therefore, there example are very good evidence that the teenage boys and girls have very different social lives.
Crowds
Someone once said "People in crowds sometimes act in a way they would not if they were alone." this means, in a group people will follow the group to do some things when a person will not. I agree this because I think a person in this world is very small, but if you have a team you can do better than yourself. So when people stay in crowds they will be influenced from other people, then they might act differently in crowds.
For example, at lunch time I want to eat chicken over rice, but when my friends eat combo over rice, then I follow my friends and eat the combo over rice. In this crowed other people's idea influence me. In addition, Neil Alden Armstrong is an American astronaut and the first person to walk on the Moon. This is other astronauts and space center to help finish. If Neil Armstrong didn’t have other people's help, he couldn't walk on the Moon. They help he completed a person impossible thing. For instance when the plant produces a product, everyone is doing a repetitive and simple steps. The assembly line can help the factory to reduce costs. A person cannot make a car, but when people work in the assembly line, he can make cars with other people.
In conclusion, that example can prove a person in crowds will do different things. I think a person in crowds can not only help crowds, crowds can also help him and that good for each other.

Seattle Facts and History
Archaeological excavations suggest that humans have inhabited the Seattle area for at least 4,000 years. The first European to visit the Seattle area
was George Vancouver, in May 1792 during his 1791–95 expedition to chart the Pacific Northwest. The second and most dramatic boom and bust
resulted from the Klondike Gold Rush, which ended the depression that had begun with the Panic of 1893; in a short time, Seattle became a major
transportation center. Seattle was mildly prosperous in the 1920s but was particularly hard hit in the Great Depression, experiencing some of the
country's harshest labor strife in that era. A shipbuilding boom in the early part of the 20th century became massive during World War I. War work
again brought local prosperity during World War II, this time centered on Boeing aircrft. But now the software is important.
