【推荐2】After many months staying at home, we’re all dreaming of travelling somewhere exciting and stretching our legs. As an oceanographer（海洋学家），I've spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean，and now we're putting that technology to use in our JASON Project，a program that's designed to inspire students and get them interested in science，technology，engineering and math．We bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the globe．Not only are the kids observers，but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them．The kids have the sensation（感受） of really being at the site with us．

I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel．In the next 10 or 15years，people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate（模拟） other environments．I like to call these rooms"home domes"----small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights，sounds，smells，and feel of a desert，or a forest．With these rooms，I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world．You could rent（租） a robot working in a rain forest，then go into your home dome，where you yourself operate the robot's movements．The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robot's environment and simulate them for you．

Today，much of the world's population never travels more than 50 or 60miles from home. And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earth's sights. But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the world．And simulated travel will also help protect our planet．You can't take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fossey's gorillas（大猩猩）．But a small robot，with no animal smell，can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights，sounds，and smells back to a million people．

【推荐3】Camping is a great way to enjoy nature. You can breathe fresh air, cook over a campfire and sleep under the stars. However, camping also means dealing with bugs, bad weather and few, if any, toilets.     1     But there is a way to enjoy the natural world without giving up the comforts at home. It’s called glamping, and interest in it has been growing since 2007.

Glamping, made up of the words glamorous (有魅力的) and camping, is a fairly new word.     2     Since around 600 B.C., Nomadic Mongolians have enjoyed the benefits of glamping. Their tents were very comfortable which inspired the design of modern glamping tents.

    3     One of them is that glamping gives you access to some beautiful places. You don’t have to give up beauty for comfort. Nowadays, glamping can be less expensive than staying in hotel, but you can still enjoy the modern comforts of a hotel.

Another reason to go glamping is that it’s good for the environment.     4     So, there is less waste, and the area stays beautiful.

No matter what kind of experience you’re looking for, a glampsite exists for you. From three Camel Lodge in Mongolia to Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in Canada, adventure is waiting for you. Sites can include a spa, a swimming pool and dinner under the stars. Activities can include exploring on horseback or camels and sightings of elephants, mountain sheep or tigers.     5    

【推荐2】Happy April Fool’s Day! In celebration of the day, we have put together a list of some of the greatest hoaxes (恶作剧) in history. They are the lies that have been designed for innocent people who are ready to believe them.

▲INSTANT COLOR TV

In 1962 there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station’s Kjell Stepson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily transform their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in color. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people, were taken in. Actual color TV transmission only started to appear in Sweden on April 1, 1970.

▲SAN SERRIFFE

In 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven ­page supplement (增刊) in honor of the tenth anniversary of San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles affectionately asked for more information about the beautiful holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the island was made up.

▲NIXON FOR PRESIDENT

In 1992 American National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation program announced that Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, “I didn’t do anything wrong, and I won't do it again.” Accompanying this announcement were audio clips (片段) of Nixon delivering his election speech. Listeners responded immediately to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and anger. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Huckleberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon’s voice was copied by comedian Rich Little.

【推荐3】What makes a building ugly? Everyone's got their own opinion, so it's hard to say. Now, let's take a look at some of the world's worst buildings.

The Torre Velasca

The Torre Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan(Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation(代表) of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower than the upper parts.

The Mirador Building

The Mirador Building in Madrid(Spain)was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect(建筑师)Blanca Lleó.The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular(矩形的)hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.

The Prague TV Tower

The Prague TV Tower is in Prague(the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty, so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn't fit in.

The Longaberger Basket Company

The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio(USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It's got seven floors and two handles(把手)at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it's certainly one of the most unusual.
