Berlin's famous polar bear Knut celebrated his first birthday last Wednesday.
To celebrate Knut's birthday, the Berlin Zoo gave free entry to kids. They also baked a giant birthday cake using 300 eggs. Pieces of the cake were sold to raise money for the zoo.
Knut became famous when he was rejected by his mother and raised by humans. His story was heard all over the world.

Now he's no longer a cute little white bear cub - he's a full-grown polar bear who likes to roll around in dirt.
At birth he weighed just 810g, but now he weighs more than 110kg. He's a bit fat, so the zoo wouldn't let him eat any of his birthday cake.
The Berlin Zoo says they don't have room to keep Knut. They're looking for a new home for him where he will be paired with a female polar bear.

柏林動物園的小北極熊努特上週三歡慶一歲生日。
為了慶祝努特的生日，動物園讓小孩子免費入園參觀。他們用了三百顆蛋烤了一個巨大的蛋糕，每塊蛋糕所賣得的收入將捐給動物園。
努特自從牠的媽媽不願意照顧牠，由人類養育後，變得聲名大噪。牠的故事傳遍全世界。
現在牠已經不再是以前的白色小北極熊了－而是發育完全的北極熊，還喜歡在泥土裡面翻滾。
努特剛出生的時候，體重只有八百一十克，但現在已經重逾一百一十公斤。由於牠有點過胖，所以動物園沒讓牠吃自己的生日蛋糕。
柏林動物園表示，他們沒有空間可以飼養努特。他們正在替牠找尋新家；在這個新家，牠將會和一隻母北極熊住在一起。（美聯社�翻譯：楊鴻泰）
Have you ever argued with your parents about politics, news or social issues? Maybe you think their opinions are outdated, while they claim you have been brainwashed by the Internet. The truth is, neither of you is wrong. You’re simply living in different “filter bubbles,” seeing entirely different versions of reality. A filter bubble forms when Web sites use algorithms to predict what content you want. Based on the videos you watch on YouTube, the TikToks you linger on or the articles you click, the system feeds you more of the same. Before you know it, you’re stuck in

A document long considered an unofficial copy of the “Magna Carta” has been identified as a rare original issued by King Edward I in 1300. Tucked away in Harvard Law School’s library, the manuscript was acquired in 1946 for a mere US$27.50. Medieval history professors from King’s College London used ultraviolet light and spectral imaging to analyze the faded text. They found that the handwriting, wording, and word order perfectly match those of the six other surviving charters from that year. The Magna Carta was the first document to formally assert that the king is subject to the law. It remains a
