If you want to find out a piece of information about anything , the best place to search for it is Wikipedia(維基百科). This online encyclopedia is written by thousands of people around the world. Anyone can add or change the information if he or she finds it not correct or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors.
What is more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 235 languages. This fact makes it one of the few websites (網(wǎng)站)on the internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. By April 2008, over 10 million articles had been put on Wikipedia. A quarter of the articles are in English. Wikipedia is also a place where people can find the latest news.
However, Wikipedia has its own problems. There have been many complaints that some of the information on Wikipedia is not accurate(準(zhǔn)確的)and some important subjects are not included. This has led to arguments between the writers of articles.

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.
You do not have to be spineless (優(yōu)柔寡斷的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正當(dāng)行為). But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.
You cannot expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心喪氣的) when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺點(diǎn)) and have to fight against them.
At the same time, it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change.
小題1:One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to __________.
A.work hard at everything we do
B.enjoy the best share of everything
C.look for treasure in order to be successful
D.pay more attention to their strong points
小題2:If a person wants to be popular, he or she has to __________.
A.be polite and friendly
B.give up some rights
C.get away arguing with other people
D.be ready to change his or her character
小題3:There is no person but someone should be blamed if he or she __________.
A.is modest and generous
B.is selfish and lazy
C.does not draw a lesson from his or her own fault
D.is very happy with unpleasant quality
小題4:The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to __________.
A.train you to be perfect
B.show you the way to be happy
C.tell you how to act when you dislike a person
D.teach you how to be popular among your friends

Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.
