　　Wranglers and Stranglers

　　Years ago there was a group of brilliant young men at the University of Wisconsin，who seemed to have amazing creative __1__ talent.They were would­be poets，novelists，and essayists.They were extraordinary in their __2__ to put the English language to its best use.These promising young men __3__ regularly to read and critique (评论) each other's work.And critique it they did!

　　These men were merciless with one another.They __4__ the minutest literary expression into a hundred pieces.They were heartless，tough，even mean in their __5__.The sessions became such areas of literary criticism that the __6__ of this special club called themselves the “Stranglers (扼杀者)”．

　　In order to __7__，the women of literary talent in the university __8__ to start a club of their own，one comparable to the Stranglers.They __9__ themselves the “Wranglers (争论者)”．They，too，read their __10__ one another.But there was one great difference.The criticism was much softer，more __11__，more encouraging.Sometimes，there was almost no criticism at all.Every effort，even the weakest one，was __12__.

　　Twenty years later an alumnus of the university was making an exhaustive __13__ of his classmates' careers when he __14__ a vast difference in the literary accomplishments of the Stranglers as opposed to the Wranglers.Of all the __15__ young men in the Stranglers，no one had made a significant literary __16__ of any kind.From the Wranglers had come six or more successful __17__，some of national renown such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings，who wrote The Yearling.

　　Talent between the two？Probably the same.Level of __18__？Not much difference.But the Stranglers were strangled，while the Wranglers were determined to give each other a(an) __19__.The Stranglers __20__ an atmosphere of argument and self­doubt.The Wranglers highlighted the best，not the worst.

　　ago，a young traveler named Rhett Butler from San Francisco，California，visited the Sabah rainforest on Malaysian Borneo.In the rainforest，he watched a bird flying through the trees.The beautiful sight left quite an impression on him.But weeks later，back home，Rhett Butler got the news that trees in the area he visited had been cut down.

　　That experience led Rhett Butler to write a book about rainforests and threats to their existence.But he did not publish the book.Instead，in 1999，he created a website，using his research for the book.The site is www.mongabay.com.His purpose was to inform the public of tropical rainforests.But the subject quickly developed.As a former businessman，he became a respected writer of science and environmental stories.

　　The popularity of Mongabay.com attracted advertisers.Small ads on the site pay for its operations.www.mongabay.com has grown and led to other sites，for example，www.kids.mongabay.com，a site for children; www.wildMadagascar.org，which is about the island that Rhett Butler called his favorite place.

　　To keep his website going，he travels around the world on several major trips each year.His working tools are a laptop computer，cameras and some diving equipment.He often calls on experts for information.For example，he interviewed Alison Jolly，a top expert on lemurs.He interviewed Rodney Jackson，a biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.

　　Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for researchers，students and teachers.In April，www.time.com named it one of the fifteen top climate and environment websites in the world.
