【推荐1】On March 1, Dr. Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.

The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.

While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri still stayed busy daily according to his schedule. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.

On June 9, De. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dturi went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.

Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows?” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.”

【推荐2】Most people have never heard of Tim Berners Lee. He is not nearly as rich or famous as Marc Andreessen, who is the founder (创办者) of Netscape, or Bill Gates, whose name has become a well known word.

Berners Lee, who works in a small office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the creator of the World Wide Web. The creation of the Web is so important that some people compare (比较) Berners Lee to Johann Gutenberg, who invented printing by movable type (活字) in the fifteenth century.

Berners Lee was born in England in 1955. His parents, who helped design the world's first commercially (商业地) computer, gave him a great love of mathematics and learning. In 1980, Berners Lee went to work at CERN, a physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, where he had a lot of material to learn quickly. Now that he had a poor memory for facts, he wanted to find a way to help him keep track of things he couldn't remember. He invented a software program that allowed him to create a document that had links to other documents. He continued to develop his idea through the 1980s. He wanted to find a way to connect the knowledge and creativity of people all over the world.

In 1991, his project became known as the World Wide Web. The number of Internet users started to grow quickly. However, Berners Lee is not completely happy with the way the Web has developed. He thinks it has become a passive (消极的) tool for so many people, not the tool for creativity that he had imagined.
