  ,The ,Phantom ,Tollbooth is famous for
its wordplay1 especially the use of
puns4 ,The puns add humor to the story
and also create many unexpected
situations4 ,For example1 when ,Milo is
at the king's banquet1 he orders a light
meal4 ,Instead of receiving a plate with
a small amount of food1 he is given a
plate full of bright1 shining light6
,Sometimes the puns lead to important
lessons4 ,For instance1 when ,Humbug
jumps to a conclusion1 he makes everyone
actually jump all the way to the ,Island
of ,Conclusions6 ,There1 ,Milo learns
that he shouldn't make important
decisions without having all the
information he needs4
  ,Education and learning are major
themes of the book4 ,To get past
challenges1 ,Milo must use the knowledge
he gains during his adventure4 ,One day1
,Milo meets a strange boy named ,Alec
,Bings4 ,Alec is unlike other people
because his head floats in the air and
his body grows downward to reach the
ground4 ,He teaches ,Milo the importance
of seeing things from different points
of view4 ,Milo uses this knowledge to
defeat a demon later in the book4 ,After
reading ,The ,Phantom ,Tollbooth1 maybe
you will see things in a different way1

d%`c}"e."j&1iz'

  ,Due to the coronavirus pandemic1
,Taiwanese tourists were cut off from
international travel for most of #bjbj4
,As a result1 local tourism saw a major
boost1 especially in offshore
destinations like ,Penghu1 ,Green
,Island1 and ,Orchid ,Island4 ,With no
overseas options available1 ,Taiwan's
offshore islands were some of the
hottest destinations for people itching
for a vacation4
  ,Taiwan's success in controlling the
spread of the virus was good for local
tourism4 ,That's because there was no
need to prohibit travel around ,Taiwan
during the summer4 ,However1 while that
was good news for travelers and the
local economy1 there was also some bad
news4 ,For the first time in many years1
some of ,Taiwan's offshore islands
experienced what is known as
overtourism4 ,That means there were far
more guests than local towns and
businesses were prepared for4
  ,In some places1 that meant crowded
beaches and buses1 lots of extra
garbage1 and a shortage of products on
many store shelves4 ,Some local
residents complained that their daily
life was being disturbed and that the
environment was being hurt because there
were so many tourists in the area4 ,Even
though travelers and local businesses
were happy with the situation1 a summer
of overtourism reminded many people that
sometimes you can have too much of a
good thing4

  ,Several days later1 ,Clara and ,Leon
are discussing the year-end bonus4
  ,C3 ,Hey ,Leon1 did you get your year-
end bonus yet8
  ,L3 ,Not yet1 ,I assumed we would get
them last ,Friday1 but there has been a
little delay4
  ,C3 ,Oh1 really8 ,Where did you get
the news8
  ,L3 ,I checked with accounting4 ,They
said it just depends on when they finish
calculating our sales for last year4
  ,C3 ,That makes sense1 ,I guess4 ,Did
they mention when we can expect to
receive them8
  ,L3 ,They said that the bonuses will
probably be deposited into our accounts
next ,Thursday or ,Friday4
  ,C3 ,That's a relief4 ,I was starting
to worry since ,I hadn't heard anything4
  ,L3 ,Don't worry4 ,In fact1 ,I heard
sales were really good last quarter1 so
we may get a bit more than we were
expecting4
  ,C3 ,That would be so great4
  ,L3 ,Yeah1 but keep it to yourself for
now4 ,I don't want to start any wild
rumors in the office4
  ,C3 ,I understand4 ,Anyway1 it will be
great to get the bonus before the year-
end party4 ,Then we can really relax and
enjoy ourselves before the long break4
  ,L3 ,Totally6 ,We definitely deserve
it4

    ,The free1 online encyclopedia that
anyone can edit
  ,Wikipedia founder1 ,Jimmy ,Wales1
always loved to read4 ,When he was
three1 his mother bought him a ,World
,Book ,Encyclopedia4 ,Wales spent hours
leafing through its pages and learning
new things4 ,He discovered that the book
wasn't perfect because a lot of
important information was missing from
its articles4 ,So1 he began pasting
stickers provided by the publisher on
the pages to update the encyclopedia4
  ,As a young adult1 ,Wales found a new
passion1 the internet4 ,In #bjjj1 he
launched a free online encyclopedia
called ,Nupedia4 ,Users could write
articles and experts would proofread
them4 ,This process was not entirely
satisfactory because it was too slow1
with only #ba articles published during
the first year4 ,Afterwards1 ,Wales
found out about the wiki software4 ,Wiki
is the ,Hawaiian word for ,8quick40'
,The software offered a new model for
editing documents online4 ,Thousands of
people could work on an article at the
same time4
  ,Some experts at ,Nupedia objected to
amateurs editing their articles4 ,So1
,Wales started a separate website1
,Wikipedia1 to test the idea4 ,It was
launched in #bjja and worked remarkably
well4 ,Before long1 ,Wikipedia became
much more popular than ,Nupedia1 which
was shut down in #bjjc4

      ,Wikipedia3 ,A ,World of
,Knowledge at ,Your ,Fingertips $1k*'ow`
l!'33d&"d&"i(`a:`a:'ft'e)"

  ,Wikipedia became successful because
of its key operating policies4 ,One of
them says that all articles on
,Wikipedia must be written from a
neutral point of view4 ,In other words1
the articles don't take sides on any
argument and let readers make up their
own mind about a topic4 ,Another policy
states that all information in
,Wikipedia articles must come from a
reliable source4 ,Writers cannot create
new articles or add material directly to
,Wikipedia4 ,The information must first
be published somewhere else before it
can be included on the site4 ,Without a
reference1 material will be taken down
by other editors4
  ,One more thing that makes ,Wikipedia
different from many other sites is that
it has no ads4 ,The funds are not
provided by big companies4 ,The site is
owned by the ,Wikimedia ,Foundation1 a
non-profit organization which is
primarily supported by public donations4
,This explains why it is free from
outside influences4
  ,By sticking to its fact-checking
rules1 ,Wikipedia keeps false data and
one-sided opinions out of the articles4
,As the largest and most widely used
online reference work in #bhe languages1
it has provided readers with answers to
countless topics in the world of
knowledge4

  ,Nearly all ,Komodo dragons live in
,Komodo ,National ,Park1 which covers
three large islands1 ,Komodo1 ,Padar1
and ,Rica4 ,The national park was set up
in #aihj to protect ,Komodo dragons and
their living environment4 ,Since the
population of these reptiles is sliding1
the government has been working to help
increase their numbers4
  ,Originally1 visitors paid ,,US 4#aj
to visit ,Komodo ,Island1 from which the
,Komodo dragon takes its name4 ,In
#bjai1 however1 the government announced
that it would close off the island to
tourism in order to aid in the
conservation of this rare animal4 ,This
is because tourist activities affect its
environment as well as the animal's
mating habits4 ,To limit tourism and
raise money1 ,Governor ,Viktor ,Bungtilu
,Laiskodat decided to introduce a ,,US
4#a1jjj membership fee to enter the
island4 ,However1 the policy may
actually pose a threat to local
communities as the locals may no longer
have enough income from tourism to
support themselves4
  ,Unfortunately1 the illegal hunting of
the ,Komodo dragon is another big
problem for the animals4 ,Despite many
difficulties1 the government hopes to
raise awareness of these issues so that
the lizards can be better protected in
the future4
