【推荐2】China is a land of bikes. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---sivler, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.

I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

Sound travels very far underwater, Francis Juanes, an ecologist at the University of Victoria in Canada, told the Associated Press. For fish, he explained, sound is probably a better way to sense their environment than light. Sounds help fish and other marine animals survive and communicate with each other. Sounds also help some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters.

However, increased noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other. The noise is coming from shipping traffic, underwater exploration, and other noisy human activities. For many marine animals, their attempts to communicate are being masked by sounds that humans have produced. Experts explain that masking happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to a marine animal's living. The overall number of marine animals has gone down by about half since 1970. Some studies show the stress from human noise might also affect the immune system as well as reproductive health or behavior. Imagine having to raise your kids in a place that's noisy all the time," said Joe Roman, a marine ecologist at the University of Vermont.

"When people think of problems facing the ocean, we often think of climate change, plastics, and overfishing. But noise pollution is another thing we need to be monitoring. Sound pollution may be easier to deal with than other ocean problems," Scientist Juanes says. "If we make something for the ocean, think about how to make it quieter."

【推荐3】In today’s world of email and IM, my 9-year-old son doesn’t even know what it costs to mail a letter, let alone the rich history of stamps and the joys of stamp collecting.

All that is about to change.

We arrive at the Spellman Museum of Stamps Postal History, located on the campus of Regis College. The museum’s mission (使命) is “to be a center of learning and activity that enables those of all ages to appreciate diverse cultures and peoples by exploring the ways they communicate through the world’s postal systems”. Central to the museum’s philosophy is that real objects, direct experience, and enjoyment are gateways to understanding and learning.

There are many ways they deliver on this mission. Children can engage in numerous hands-on activities, including museum-wide Stamp Scavenger Hunts, an interactive “Stamp or No Stamp?” quiz game and special activities on Family and Homeschoolers Days.

“We see kids come in the door with no knowledge of stamps, and walk out with a whole new view of their world and an excitement about stamp collecting,” says Henry Lukas, the museums director of educational programs.

“Some kids sit here for hours and search through,” says Lukas. “Butterflies, pets, Olympics... if they are interested in a certain topic, we can pull out a box and they can start hunting.” My own son is excitedly hand-picking stamps with animals from other countries, eagerly starting his own themed stamp collection.

But there’s more to stamps than simply collecting them. “You can learn a lot from a corner of an envelope,” Lukas says. “They are an invention; someone had to think up an idea. They come in all different shapes. Some are made of material other than paper, like wood. There’s a Brazilian stamp that smells like coffee.”

We leave the museum with lots of bits of paper, and a boy who continues his fascination with his stamps once home, glued with fascination to his tiny treasures.
