Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1850. Stevenson liked to regard his childhood as a golden age; in reality it was also, as he later admitted, full of unpleasant dreams，sleeplessness and feverish colds, which resulted from a lung condition.

In September 1857, Stevenson went to Mr. Henderson's School, but because of physical weakness he stayed only a few weeks and didn't return until October 1859. In October 1864, he was sent to Robert Thomson's private school. Stevenson became a student at the University of Edinburgh from November 1867 and began half-heartedly to prepare himself for the engineering profession. In April 1871, he finally told his father he had no interest in engineering and cared for nothing but literature. His father was naturally disappointed, but he agreed that as a compromise his son should read law first. In fact, Stevenson published a historical essay in 1866 at his fathers' expense.

All through his university years, when he was looked upon as a lazy student ignoring his formal education, Stevenson was in fact reading widely and conscientiously（勤勉认真地）learning how to write by composing descriptions of what he saw and, above all, by setting himself to imitate（模仿）the way authors wrote. In this way, he learned from a wide range of authors.

A turning point in Stevenson's life came in the summer of 1873 when he met Professor Sidney Colvin and his friend Mrs. Frances Sitwell, who recognized his potential and did all they could to support him. Colvin became Stevenson's literary adviser and closest friend. In1875. he became a lawyer, but he soon gave up the profession and devoted himself to literary work. Under Colvin's influence, Stevenson's essays began to appear in magazines. From 1876, he began to write a series of essays containing light-hearted observation son life, and they became very popular.

The exhibition in Shanghai is presented in three parts.

The first, Transportation Between China and the West, outlines trade and exchanges between the country and Europe from the 16th to 18th centuries. As new sea routes were developed, Chinese porcelain（瓷器）reached more destinations in Europe, where it gained popularity among the wealthy area.

The second part, Fusion（融合）Between China and the West, shows how Chinese porcelain entered into and helped shape daily life in Europe. Visitors will find examples of this porcelain painted, modified（改进）, or intended as furnishings in Europe. A digital reproduction of the domed（拱形）ceilings at the Santos Palace in Portugal, decorated with Chinese porcelain, is among the exhibits in this section. Visitors will also discover Chinese Buddha statues repurposed（重塑）as candle holders, porcelain bowls redesigned as incense burners（香炉）,and a Chinese incense container（中国香合）transformed into a cigarette box.

The third part of the display, Encounters Between China and the West, features fine examples of imitation of Chinese porcelain and items made in China but bearing words from overseas. On some, Western words are written awkwardly by Chinese craftsmen, while others bear unrecognizable Chinese characters written by Western artisans.

One of the final exhibits visitors will sec at the exhibition is a polychrome tile panel（多彩瓷砖面板）from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Created in the Dutch city of Delft between 1690 and 1720, the upper half of the panel describes familiar figures from ancient Chinese folk tales in a courtyard setting. The lower part features Chinese warriors（战士）on horseback encountering native Americans sporting feathered head dresses and using hunting spears.

Guiding journalists on a tour of the exhibition, Chen said: "Now that both sides know each other so well, we can easily point out incorrect details in these artworks, but do such stereotypes and wrong ideas still exist in our perception of each other?" She added that as the exhibition starts from the Age of Exploration, perhaps visitors can experience not just a journey to discover new continents, but also gain a fresh understanding of the world.

If electric bikes haven't caught your attention yet, here's one that might. Okapi, a Boston-based company, is producing a unique e-bike that bridges the gap between motorcycles and ordinary bikes.

These aren't normal bikes. If the futuristic appearance doesn't give them away, the specs（规格）will: Okapi's bikes have an all-electric range of up to 40 miles and a top speed of around 30 mph. Those aren't crazy numbers, but they are more than adequate（合乎要求）for an ordinary bike. The company's selling its bikes for just under $3,000. That's in line with other e-bikes' pricing, but Okapi's bikes look more attractive than the others, which try to look like normal bicycles.

The bikes full suspension（减震）, hidden storage, and 1,000-watt motor all add up to a fun ride. Okapi's design appears to be stronger and more able to handle the bumps（碰撞）than many other electric bikes, some of which appear to be modeled after old models The main downside to Okapi's design is that it supports a maximum of 280 pounds, which may stop some riders enjoying the bike.

Electric bikes are getting cheaper, almost every day, but Okapi's product charges a high price The Starter Edition bike costs $2,989. 98. The good news is that Okapi's bike looks better and stronger than many offerings on the market today.

Though they're not the most mainstream product there, e-bikes are worth the coin at almost any price. If you' re considering buying an electric bike, do it. E-bikes absolutely offer you an enjoyable and exciting experience, even on the cheaper end.
