Community Organizatons are local organizations that help to strength the relationships between the members of the community and work for the general welfare of the community．There are several steps in community organizing process．Community organizing is a process by which people living near each other are brought together with the help of an organization, which acts in their common self-interest．Community organizing is thus a process that brings people in a particular area together, and addresses the issues that are important to these people．Organized community groups work to convey the voice of the people to the higher institutions like the government or the corporations．
There are three basic types of community organizing:grass roots organizing, faith-based community organizing and coalition(联合) building．The grass roots organizations are often movements that are functional at the local level, in which the volunteers in the community work to support the local party, which can thus lead to helping the national party．The faith-based community organizations refer to the organizations that are religious in nature．On the other hand, coalition organizations work to make sure of the fundation of coalition among individuals, during which they cooperate for a common cause．
Here is what it takes to be a good community organizer．In order to be a good community organizer you should be able to work with a group of people and be able to lead them in a commom cause．A community organizer needs to be determined and focused about the goals．A community organizer needs to find the challenges in the society and be able to come up with good solutions and campaigns to solve these problems．A community organizer should be able to create a sense of unity and harmony among people．He or she needs to be open to suggestions and ideas and also healthy criticism．He shuold have excellent organizational skills -- no doubt!

Deep in the forest in the northern part of the Republic of Congo, scientists have made a surprising discovery．Researchers discovered more than 125,000 critically endangered western lowland gorillas．
In the 1980’s,scientists estimated that the total population of western lowland gorillas in Central Africa was fewer than 100,000．Since then, however, the scientists believed this number had been reduced by at least half．They thought the animals were being killed off by hunters and diseasses, especially the deadly Ebola virus．
The new population count was the result of intensive work by the Wildlife Conservation Society and scientists of the Republic of Congo．They searched rainforests, looking for gorilla nests．Gorillas build beds, or nests, for sleeping each night．The researchers use the number of nests they find to help estimate the local gorilla population．They found some forests had population densities that were among the highest ever recorded．The researchers studied an area of 47,000 square kilometers．
The scientists say the higher number of gorilla is the result of efforts by the Republic of Congo to take care of its protected areas．The gorillas have also done well because they live in areas far away from people．And they have plenty to eat．Wildlife Conservation Society president Steven Sanderson said the success of the gorillas is the proof that humans can help protect animal species in danger of disappearing．
Western lowland gorillas are one of four recognized gorilla subspecies(亚种)。 Other subspecies include mountain gorillas,eastern lowlang gorillas, and Cross River gorillas．The International Union for Conservation of Nature considers all of the subspecies to be critically endangered, except for the eastern lowland gorillas．That subspecies is considered endangered．

2.What’s the researchers’attitude towards the present western lowland gorilla population? (No more than seven words)

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium (千年), was made up of three parts —— “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”．Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork．
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892．His parents died when he was a child．Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon．
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I．In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology (神话) for The Rings．As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers．The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”．
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural (乡村的) class．Hobbits live in hillside holes．One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏儒)．On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible．
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft (草稿)．The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son．The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937．
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation．Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers — new and old — after their publication．

Doomed beauties such as Cleopata and Manilyn Monore were far from alone in their misery．Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain Janes．
According to the research by Dr John Blain of the university of Southern California, relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearance, such as models or actors, tend to end much faster than those between lawyers, doctors and students．
Blaine said the beautiful felt different from children．They are treated as special, which may create both arrogance(傲慢) and insecurity．All too often, beauty can be used as an alternative to education．Often they are pushed out of their class or town, told to go off and make their fotune in Hollywood or London and, when the majority fail, they have few talents to make a living．
Blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five”--- the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples．These are neuroticism(神经过敏)，including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向) ；openness to new experiences; agreeableness; and conscientiousness, or sticking by agreements they have made．Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade．
Krista Sutherlanf ,of the University of California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside, such as the former “dram teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱负) are often shared, did not necessarily lead to happiness．
