Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently for something you might not expect. A man in the United States changed the gender (性别) of Garfield to “none” on the cats Wikipedia (维基百科) page. After that lots of people got angry and kept changing Garfields Wikipedia page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither. Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing it. Jim Davis, Garfields creator, settled (解决) the argument. “Garfield is male (男性),” he simply told the Washington Post. The 71-year-old artist said he liked working with animals because they didnt have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfields gender. It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument about gender. To celebrate International Womens Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made 10 traffic lights with a figure (人形) dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate women and give them more confidence in public. But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but that this idea is silly. “Im all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor (市长) Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.38. What put Garfield the cat back in the news recently?A. The cats lazy character. B.

They saw a big sign on the door: “Yesterday the person whos been holding you back in this company died. We invite you to join the funeral in the biggest meeting room.” In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of this person. But after a while they started wondering who the dead person was. As more people started coming into the meeting room and getting closer to the coffin (棺材), the doubt grew. “Who is holding me back? Well, at least he died,” everyone was thinking. One by one the employees got closer. And when they looked inside it, they suddenly became silent. They stood there and couldnt say a word, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their hearts. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself or herself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who can set limits to your growth: it is YOU.” You are the only person that can change your life. You are the only person that can make a difference to your happiness and your success. You are the only person that can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your partner changes or when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go further than your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life. “The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself.”42.

However, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian. The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a psychology (心理学) professor from the University of London, UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population. In the study, Freeman first asked some people to rate (评级) their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like “Do you give directions to strangers?” and “Have you ever donated blood?”. The results showed that people are not as nice as they think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped others carry heavy shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood. In another study by psychologists from universities in Chicago and Virginia, US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been slightly changed to make them appear more attractive. When asked to pick the unchanged pictures, people usually chose the more attractive ones. So, why do we think were nicer than we actually are? There are many theories (理论). A popular one says we unconsciously (无意识地) deceive (欺骗) ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowingly lying to ourselves or each other. How can we solve it? Other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback (反馈). Compare others opinion toward yourself with your own and you will see a clearer picture.
