Helsinki Zoo

This is a zoo located on an island in Finland—it is the country’s biggest zoo which has

amazing animals like deer, Siberian tigers and even bears. What adds to the beauty of this zoo

is the natural wildlife that surrounds it on the island. From beautiful rainforests to lots of plant

species, Helsinki Zoo should be a destination you won’t regret visiting.

Toronto Zoo

Toronto Zoo is home to over 16,000 animals, including tigers, lions, and monkeys. The

zoo —has an amazing gorilla (

大猩猩

) habitat exhibit, and a Discovery Zone for children to

learn more about the animals and their natural habitats. Another thing that makes this zoo

worth a visit is its protection policy, Toronto Zoo has helped to protect endangered species

from all around the world and is one of the very few animal-Friendly zoos in North America.

Sao Paolo Zoo

The state of Sao Paolo has strict laws about animal cruelty and can actually give out

fines (

罚款

) of up to US $435,000 for animal testing. So it’s no surprise that Sao Paolo Zoo,

with its over 3,200 animals, is animal-friendly. They also spend time in protection efforts,

focusing on Brazil’s own endangered animals. Here, you’ll see plenty of animals like parrots,

wild cats and various birds.

Wellington Zoo

and 100 different species. Focusing on wildlife protection, Wellington Zoo has successfully

saved endangered animals like the Sun Bear. If you make your way to this zoo, you’ll also

As online technology advanced, web sites, podcasts, and blogs became powerful sources

of information that allowed everyone to stay updated on any subject imaginable. Although all

of these information sources remain popular, there's a new king of media and it's online video.

There are many reasons why online video has increased suddenly over the past few years.

The first is increasing data speeds. It wasn't until recently that people everywhere had fast

enough online connections to enjoy high-definition

（高清）

videos. However, once faster

Internet speeds were provided, people quickly fell in love with online videos. The second

reason why online videos have become so popular is convenience. Watching videos requires

less effort and energy than reading through paragraphs of text after a day of hard work.

Videos also seem to provide more satisfaction, as people prefer to connect with people they

can hear and see, as against the words of some author whom they know little about.

Advancing digital technology has also helped, as it has made sharing videos easier and

more convenient than ever. High-powered smartphones and more affordable video cameras

allow anyone to easily record an event or give a few comments about a scorching

topic that is

on their mind. Meanwhile, sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Ustream allow users to quickly

upload their videos and share them with friends, family, and the general public if they wish.

Last but not least, advertising. Companies have made it easy for people to get rewarded

for creating popular videos. Some people with large enough fan bases can even make a very

wealthy living by uploading a few videos every week.

The future also looks bright for companies who post online video ads. In fact, new

software allows them to watch viewers' emotional reactions to their content through the users'

webcams

（网络摄像机）

.They'll be able to see whether users laugh, cry, or feel bored during

videos, so they can adjust their ads. This should prove extremely helpful, as there will be

millions of videos competing for viewers' attention.

Online Technology is Closely Related to People

Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is

passed down through the generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in

the arts and artifacts (

手工艺品

) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the

stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only are the damages of time

threatening our cultural heritage, but conflicts, climate change, globalization and tourism are

all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most essential weapon in the battle. Here’s

how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.

As you can imagine, creating the replicas (

复制品

) via crowd sourced 2D images is

extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms (

算法

) are

being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a

matter of hours. AI will also make restoration and preservation of existing cultural heritage

far easier and vastly superior to previous methods.

Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural

heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely

fragile. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes

accumulate everywhere, causing enormous problems. As more cultural heritage sites and

objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way

that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at (and

touch!) artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.

Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research,

innovation, data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage

of countries all across the world.

John Keats was an English poet, whose poetry described the beauty of the natural world

and art as the vehicle for his poetic imagination. Regarded as one of the English language’s

most naturally gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagination, human

nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his

own studies and great interest brought him much success. Besides, his own life situation

made a great difference to his poetry.

Growing up as a young kid in London in a lower, middle-class family, the young John

didn’t attend a private school, but went to public school in Enfield, near his home. His

teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as a positive boy who liked playing and

fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s,

followed by his mother’s passing away due to illness, he began to view life differently. He

wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.

At around the age of 16, John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might

become a doctor. However, his love for literature had taken too much of his time, especially

with his addiction to the poetry of Edmund Spenser. Within two months in 1817, Keats had

written an entire volume (

册

) of poetry that would be published, but was attacked sharply in

Blackwood’s Magazine. However, it didn’t stop him.

John Keats’ next work to be published was Endymion, which he wrote in 1817 and was

published in May 1818. The story tells a boy who falls in love with the moon goddess and

leads him to an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human.

Following Endymion, he wrote Isabella. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to

combine all he learned. However, an attack of tuberculosis (

肺结核

) while visiting Italy kept

him from his work and took his life in 1821.
