    Dear Reader,  

    Today I'm going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation. Sounds unusual: Why does one of the world's five most popular websites ask for financial support from its users?  

    Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50. We have a small number of paid staff, just twenty-three. Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Wikipedia is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in 2003.  

    Wikipedia’s driven by a global community （群体） of more than 150,000 volunteers, all devoted to sharing knowledge freely. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising.  

    Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly, your 11 help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet. Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia, making it easier to search, easier to read, and easier to write for. We're bent on growing the free knowledge movement world-wide, by employing new volunteers, and building strategic （战略的） partnerships with institutes of culture and learning.  

    Wikipedia is different. It's the largest encyclopedia （百科全书） in history, all written by volunteers.  

    Like a national park or a school, we don’t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia. We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you, for your donation will help keep Wikipedia free for the whole world.  

    Thank you,  

    Jimmy Wales  

     

    56. In the letter, Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikimedia Foundation tries to ________.  

    A. compare some top websites                                  

    B. explain how Wikipedia works  

    C. introduce a new website to the readers            

    D. appeal to Wikipedia users to make donations  

    57. Which of the following is TRUE about Wikipedia?  

    A. Due to its less popularity, Wikipedia is no longer attractive to advertising at all.  

    B. Over 275 million people come to Wikipedia to access information for free weekly.  

    C. Wikipedia, the world's most popular website, is run by the Wikimedia Foundation.  

    D. Unlike others, Wikipedia, the largest encyclopedia in history, is written by volunteers.  

    58. From the letter we can know donations will help do the following for Wikipedia EXCEPT _______.  

    A. take on some new volunteers                                B. develop an effective new software  

    C. access free knowledge more easily                        D. cover the increasing cost of management  

    59. It can be inferred from the letter that ________.  

    A. Wikipedia aims to give free access to the sum of all human knowledge  

    B. those donating to Wikipedia will be eventually employed as its volunteers  

    C. most websites including Wikipedia rely on financial supports from its users  

    D. supported by Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia wants to be free from advertisements

    This is the letter that Mr. White wrote before his death about his three books for children:
    Dear Reader:
    I receive many letters from children and can't answer them all -- there wouldn't be time enough in a day. That is why I am sending you this printed reply to your letter. I'll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.
    Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte's Web? Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That's how the story of Stuart Little got started.
    As for Charlotte's Web, I like animals and my barn（谷仓） is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours. One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig's life. I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation（拯救） on a farm. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)
    Sometimes I'm asked how old I was when I started to write, and what made me want to write. I started early -- as soon as I could spell. In fact, I can't remember any time in my life when I wasn't busy writing. I don't know what caused me to do it, or why I enjoyed it, but I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction is trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was no good at drawing, so I used words instead. As I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.
    Some of my readers want me to visit their school. Some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book. And some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets. Much as I'd like to, I can't go visiting. I can't send books, either -- you can find them in a bookstore or a library. Many children assume that a writer owns (or even makes) his own books. This is not true -- books are made by the publisher. If a writer wants a copy, he must buy it. That's why I can't send books. And I do not send autographs（亲笔签名，手稿） -- I leave that to the movie stars. I live most of the year in the country, in New England. From our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountains. I live near my married son and three grandchildren.
    Are my stories true, you ask? No, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events. In real life, a family doesn't have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn't spin words in her web. In real life, a swan doesn't blow a trumpet（喇叭，小号） . But real life is only one kind of life -- there is also the life of the imagination. And although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too -- truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.
    Yours sincerely,
    E.B. White
