26、Wikipedia’s most-edited list

Do you use Wikipedia(维基百科) to find information about people, places, things and events? Have you ever wondered who writes all the information? The website is actually run by thousands of everyday people, as well as computers that can automatically update(自动更新) certain pages. You can even write something on a page if you want to.

Of course, it means that somebody can write incorrect information on a page. That does happen sometimes, but usually somebody else corrects the information quickly.

Wikipedia has counted how many times each page has been edited(编辑) this year and one page stood out.“Deaths in 2016”was edited 18,230 times. That is likely because lots of high-profile(知名度高的) people, including English singer David Bowie, American singer Prince, American boxer Muhammad Ali and former Cuban President Fidel Castro, died in 2016.

The 2016 US presidential election(总统选举) was followed by people around the world. It was also a popular page to edit on Wikipedia. The “Donald Trump” page had 8,933 edits and took second spot. The third most-edited page was related(与……有关)to Hillary Clinton, and the election itself took the fourth spot.

Pages about movies, sports, world events, natural disasters(灾难), musicians and artists all appeared in the top 25 most-edited list.

Vincent Van Gogh’s page received 3,551 edits during the year.

Four Wikipedia editors rewrote the page in order to give people a clear understanding of the Dutch partner’s true nature, according to one editor.

The variety of pages that were edited shows how people with entirely different interests are still all looking for information.

27、   Many pets got separated from their families almost two years ago, when Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast. A New Jersey family was one of them. They lost their dog. He got away from their backyard during the storm.

Chuck James said that his family searched for the brown-and-white dog named Reckless for months after the October 2012 storm. Reckless was a cute dog which brought much pleasure to the whole family, and the youngest daughter Tiffany loved him most. They played together, watched TV together, ate popcorn together and Reckless even saw Tiffany off when she headed for the kindergarten every morning. Chuck James kept on searching for the lovely dog in e very possible way, but no luck.

"We reported him missing and called the shelters from time to time, just hoping they had him," James said. "We always kept our hopes up, but finally it was time to move on."

James said the family had planned to get a new dog. The dog was to be a tenth birthday surprise for their eldest daughter, Ally. The family of five went to the Monmouth County SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to adopt a new animal. When James and his wife walked close to the first cage, they saw a familiar face inside.

"He was a little bigger than I remembered because they had fed him well," James joked. "But then he was lying on my wife's feet and I knew it was him. It was unbelievable. I know this dog is meant to be with our family."

When SPCA officials asked if they could prove the animal was their dog, a friend sent a selfie showing the family with their dog before Sandy hit the East Coast.

"We're all so happy to have him back," James said. The family is living in a hotel while their home is being repaired. This weekend, the Jameses went on a camping trip with Reckless to celebrate the dog's return.

【1】What happened to Jameses when Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast?

A.Their house lay in ruins after the storm.

B.Their pet dog Reckless went missing.

C.Their pet dog Reckless was adopted by another family.

28、   Tom is a boy of fifteen. His parents 【1】 (die) two years ago, and he had to make a living by 【2】 (he). Now he is working as a servant at Mr Jackson's. He works hard and the Jacksons are pleased with him.

Mr Jackson enjoys 【3】 (plant) all kinds of trees. There are many kinds of precious(珍贵的) trees in his garden.

Last week Mr Jackson 【4】 (bring) a few trees home, planted them in the garden himself and watered them every day. Some days 【5】 (late), he had to leave for another city. Before 【6】 (leave), he said to Tom, “【7】 (take) good care of the plants when I'm out. Some boys of our neighbours always want 【8】 (steal) them.”

“【9】 (not worry) about them, sir,” answered Tom. “I 【10】 (try) my best to watch them.”

Six days passed and Mr Jackson came back. As soon as he saw Tom, he asked, “Did anyone come to steal the trees?” “No, sir,”said Tom. “I pulled them six days ago. Now they have been hidden for nearly a week!”

29、My friend David went far to work, so he asked me to take care of his yard in the mountains. He worked hard and always kept the yard ________ without any grass. But I was too lazy to sweep the fallen leaves, and I ________ plucked(拔)grass, allowing it to grow rapidly and freely. In the early ________, in March, the leaves were green and soft. A month later, when the leaves spread quickly, I discovered they were like wild orchids(兰花)in the forest.

As the summer came, the “grass” really flowered. The flowers looked like those forest orchids, ________ they were yellow, unlike those purple or red forest orchids. I picked one flower, then went to find a friend who studied ________. As soon as my friend saw it, he asked me ________ I picked it. “It’s amazing!” He ________ explained, “This kind of orchid is hard to find. Now it is worth at least 10,000 dollars each.”

I told the good news to David. He was ________. After a while he said gently that he saw the orchid in the yard every year, but he thought it was common grass, so he always plucked it. He said, “If I could ________, it would flower a few years before.” Yes, all of us might miss some rare(稀有的)orchids in our own lives. We don’t give them the time to flower to show their value.

Give the “grass” time to flower and give everybody a ________ to show his or her value. Don’t pluck a leave of any “grass” or negate(否定)a person easily and how many “rare orchids” we will get in our lives!
