They also show interest, whichdevelopmental psychologists consider an emotion in its own right.By ten months, infants display the full range of what are considered the basic emotions: joy, anger, sadness,disgust, surprise, and fear. The emergence of the basic emotions during the first year or two of life seems to beprogrammed by a biological clock for brain development.

It is setting a blistering pace with more than 1000 newEnglish-language articles being added each day. Its success has attracted harsh criticism from predictable quarters. Inan article published recently on Tech Central Station website, Robert McHenry, former editor-in-chief ofEncyclopaedia Britannica, disdainfully said that using Wikipedia was like visiting a public restroom. McHenry’s vainattempt to turn up the heat is ironic because it is the old-fangled encyclopedia publishers who are on the hot seat.Wikipedia will put many of them in deep trouble within the next few years.Internet users have been voting with their clicks. Traffic to Wikipedia’s 72 servers on any given day exceeds 80million hits. Wikipedia articles are cited increasingly by mainstream newspapers and magazines. Encyclopediapublishers lambaste Wikipedia’s reliability, but their outrage has blinded them to a sea change in their core market.The way people research and learn in the Internet age is vastly different than it was only a decade ago, and if they failto adapt, they will suffer.How did Wikipedia get started? Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia’s co-founder and leader, began with a simple yetcounterintuitive idea: create an open encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to. (The name Wikipedia comes from the“wiki” sort of collaborative software that powers the website.) The project adopted a few canny rules of order:whenever someone edits an article, a new version of the article is created and saved. This is important becauseWikipedia is an open-content project. Such projects are fuelled by the prestige and social standing derived by thecontributors from the work that they do. Your contribution to an article, no matter how small, is kept for posterity andclearly identified as such.The continual creation of new versions also discourages antisocial behavior—vandalized articles can be easilyreverted. Each article has a separate page where authors can discuss their changes and air their differences. To reducebias, Wikipedia’s policy is to present a neutral point of view that fairly represents all sides.

Which of the following statements is NOT applicable to Wikipedia? (A)Anyone can edit an article. (B)Each time an article is edited, a new version of the article is saved. (C)Authors can discuss their changes of the article on a separate page. (D)Articles on Wikipedia represent the viewpoint of the website.

Which of the following statements about Wikipedia is NOT true? (A)Wikipedia is becoming more and more popular. (B)Researching and learning via Wikipedia is a new way of life. (C)Wikipedia can best be described as an “open encyclopedia.” (D)Most encyclopedia publishers think Wikipedia a reliable way to find correct information.

Why are vandalized articles rare on Wikipedia? (A)Any changes to the articles can be easily undone. (B)Jimmy Wales forbids the opening of Wikipedia to the public. (C)Wikipedia is open for editing only to people with high social standing. (D)People with antisocial behavior are generally uninterested in Wikipedia.

Why are encyclopedia publishers now on the hot seat? (A)McHenry, the former editor-in-chief, is not willing to start the heat. (B)Wikipedia is more often cited than its traditional counterparts. (C)They cannot wait to change their poor situation they are facing now. (D)They are turning up the heat of Wikipedia.|14350第18 題至第21 題為篇章結構，各題請依文意，從四個選項中選出最合適者，各題答案內容不重複Of the more than 350 known species of shark, roughly one quarter of them are, to one degree or another,endangered. 18Sharks’ own biology is among their biggest problems. Most species are slow-growing. Male white sharks are notready to breed until they are at least 9 or 10 years old, while females do not mature until 15-16 years old—and theyproduce very few young. 19According to Sonja Fordham, an international shark conservation specialist with the Ocean Conservancy, “We arehopeful that recent restrictions on international trade in white shark teeth, jaws, and fins will work to rebuild depletedshark populations. However, given the species’ slow growth, it will take many years to see such recovery.”20 In October 2004, the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES)placed great white sharks on its Appendix II list, which prohibits trade unless a country can demonstrate that it will notbe detrimental to the species. In the case of great whites, such proof is impossible. A month later, the InternationalCommission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas banned all shark finning in its fisheries. 21
