Selling educational toys should be easy.While China may be the world? s biggest toy-maker, many of the best are exported. Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals.

Estes, BabyCare? s president. It starts during pregnancy, when the anxiety and needs are highest. BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis.

Educational Toys in China.BYour Genes, Your FutureHow would you feel if someone gave you an envelope with a description of every one of your genes? Supposing this information could tell you what illnesses you were likely to get, or even what ilIness you might die of, would you open the envelope?It，s a difficult question to answer. But the fact is that scientists have already begun to discover how certain genes influence us. And in the next decade, they will learn a lot more.We have known for a long time that many of our physical characteristics are inherited （继 承）, For example, our eye colour and certain diseases are decided by our genes. As long as you have a good diet, scientists can predict your height by looking at your parents' heights. And we now know that the need to wear glasses has a genetic cause. Our eating habits also appear to be decided by our genes!With other characteristics, things are not so clear. Certainly, scientists have now shown that some traits （特性，特质）are strongly influenced by our genes. Do you prefer getting up early or late? To a great extent, it's your genes that decide.
