3 . Stuck inside his room at an assisted-living center, Bob Coleman knew he could not go out in public with the coronavirus spreading. But he could still connect with others by sharing his love for country music over the internet.

“Hello, everybody. It’s a bright day in Franklin, Tennessee,” he said into his microphone. “This is Bob Coleman, better known as the Karaoke Cowboy, coming to you from Room 3325. Let’s just jump right into it.”

Then Coleman began to play the music he loves — hits from country music stars like Hank Williams, Dwight Yoakam and Brad Paisley. The 88-year-old carefully chooses each song.

Coleman is a resident of Somerby Franklin, an assisted-living center about 32 kilometers south of Nashville. He formerly served in the United States Air Force. He and several other retirees have turned into disc jockeys, or DJs, for a new online radio hour known as “Radio Recliner (摇椅电台)”. The 60-minute show was launched last month, starting with retirees in middle Tennessee. It has since expanded, with residents of assisted-living centers in Georgia and Alabama taking part in the project. Many jumped at the chance to work as a DJ to ease the loneliness of social distancing rules.

A Georgia and Alabama-based marketing company called Luckie came up with the idea of Radio Recliner. One of its clients is Bridge Senior Living, which operates more than 20 centers for older adults in 14 states.

The volunteer DJs record themselves on their phones. The audio is then sent off to audio production specialists who deal with the technical side of Radio Recliner.

New shows appear weekdays at 12 o'clock. Listeners can send song requests in honor of family or friends.

Mitch Bennett is Luckie’s chief creative officer. He says the idea was to provide a sense of community to older people who have been spending a lot of time alone. “For this generation, radio was the original social media,” Bennett said. “Dedicating a song to someone you love, and having them hear it along with everyone else, is a special way of connecting. It’s a great time to bring that feeling back.”

7 . The world’s best underwater hotels

The underwater rooms at Atlantis The Palm really are fit for the king of the seas. Set alongside a huge aquarium , they are pretty much the most romantic place you could ever dream of, as long as you don’t have nightmares about sharks! This unusual hotel room costs around $7,000 a night.

The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island doesn’t have an underwater room, but you can still have dinner below the waves, without having to wear a diving suit. The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is located sixteen feet below sea level and while you eat happily, sharks and fishes swirl (旋转) above your head. Set menus cost upwards of $300 per person. Book at least a couple of weeks ahead.

The Utter Inn was designed by local artist Mikael Genberg and is one of the cheapest underwater hotels out there, floating on Lake Mälaren, near Stockholm. From $250 a night, this is more like an unusual ship’s cabin than luxury (奢侈的) accommodation, but as an appealing twist on traditional Swedish living, it’s now a very fashionable place to spend the weekend.

Jules’ Undersea Lodge is named after the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and is the oldest underwater hotel, surrounded by angelfish and other species off the coast of Florida. Getting there is somewhat of a challenge — it’s located 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea. Brave couples can stay the night here for $800.

I can’t live without music. It may not sound practically because things such as food, water and air is much more important than music for human beings. However, I think the thought of change the world by spreading the joy of music is not that ridiculous. Cimorelli is one of my favorite band. I’ve downloaded the great many of their songs. Whenever I feel down or disappointing, I listen to them because the lyrics (歌词) are positive and meaningful. Thanks to their songs, I have realized the important of helping others and that being different is not something to be ashamed. I also liked singing. Although I’m not really good at it, but I still enjoy it. I love music and I believe that great music can change people’s lives.

It was wonderful to hear from you. I know you are     1     (die) to know my life in PNG .The classrooms are made of bamboo and the    2     (roof) of grass .Many of the boys have worked a long way, sometimes up to two hours to get to school .Students have no concept of doing experiments and there is    3     equipment, either .Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry    4     (be) to these students, most of     5     will be going back to their villages after Year 8.

I    6     (visit) a remote village. The huts there were round    7     there were no windows .So it took time for my eyes    8     (adjust) to the darkness inside .I could not participate in the conversation,for I couldn't speak much of the local English dialect . It was    9     a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family .

I    10     (real) enjoy the work as a volunteer teacher in PNG.
