【推荐1】Learning online should make use of a number of Internet tools. For example, e-mail lets you exchange letters between continents very cheaply and almost immediately. Large groups of people can share their discussions by using electronic lists to send every letter to everyone on the list. Electronic magazines bring you up-to-date topics, such as news, arts, and sports. Search engines allow you to look for anything you want on the Internet, including the holdings of major libraries. In a chat room you can have a real-time written talk. Audio and video bring the world to your computer—you can listen to the world’s radio stations, and watch the evening news from another continent. And in an online conference you can even talk to your teacher and fellow students abroad.

Do you have an e-mail box? How much time do you spend communicating with your friends over the Internet? The Internet, the newest child in technology, is like a modern communication highway. It’s also a kind of super-shop where you can buy almost anything—you can get anything through the Internet, without leaving home at all.

【推荐2】Four Famous Books in American History

The 1920s was the first recognizably “modern” period in American history and the books at that time remain current in many sense. Here are 4 books published in the 1920s that everyone should read.

Whether or not it truly is his “best” novel , there's a reason that F. Scott. Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby remains his most popular work today. The themes in the novel reflect the sudden change in America itself. The novel also conveys the American Dream, the idea that self-made men and women could make themselves into anything in this country. Fitzgerald rejected the idea, however.

Ulysses employs, “stream of consciousness”, a technique that seeks to exactly copy the inner monologue of a person, which was commonly credited to William James. James Joyce wasn't the first writer to use this technique (Dostoevsky used it in the 19th century), but he was the first one to attempt it on the massive scale in this book.

William Faulkner's greatest work is this novel that is usually considered as one of the most challenging novels. The story is of a big family in decline. For much of the novel, the point of view is the first person, while the final section suddenly switches to the third person. Techniques like that are what make this book remarkable.

This classic novel from Dashiell Hammett remains incredibly influential for its tone, language and plot. A private detective is hired to clean up a corrupt town, a place where the police also involve in the corruption. Sounds familiar, right? It's because so many books, films, and TV shows have stolen the basic plot of Red Harvest.

【推荐3】With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.

Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London

Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.

Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich

Sitting on the edge of the University of East Anglia’s campus, the Sainsbury Centre holds a collection of remarkable works of art spanning over 2,000 years. Inside the seminal Norman Foster building, you’ll find artworks from around the world, including some stunning pieces of European modern art by Degas, Francis Bacon, and Alberto Giacometti.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire

Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century.

Whitworth, Manchester

After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions.
