For years people have enjoyed following the life of Garfield the cat. 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 (性別) of Garfield to “none” on the cat's Wikipedia (維基百科) page. After that lots of people got angry and kept changing Garfield's 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, Garfield's creator, settled (解決) 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 didn't have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield's 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 Women's 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.
“I'm all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor (市長) Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.

People, animals, and other things make sounds (聲音).

Sounds can be loud (大聲的) or quiet, happy or unhappy.

Sounds are very important. Most people and animals use sounds, to communicate (交流) with each other. Many things also make useful sounds. Drums (鼓) and pianos bring us music. Bells in school tell us to have classes on time.

What is sound? Well, there is sound when an object (物體) vibrates (震動), or moves (移動) back and forth very fast. A vibrating object makes the air around it move. This is how sound travels. For example, when a driving car passes by, the air around it vibrates. When the vibrating air gets to your ear, you hear the sound of the passing car. We call the vibrating air sound waves (聲波).

There are different kinds of sounds. Some sounds are loud. Others are quiet. The loudness of sound is called volume (音量). Very loud sounds are bad for your ears. Be careful around loud sounds. Cover your ears with your hands when you hear them, or move away from the loud sounds. When you use earphones to listen to music, make sure it is not too loud.
