I just come back from Britain last week. I was luckily enough to be one of the student from different countries to visit the UK from Feb. 16 to 28. We paid a visit to many places, like London, Oxford or the Lake District. I learned much about British culture and history in London, where was my favorite. I also liked Oxford, in which I saw much more old buildings. The Lake District was beautiful, but it was pity that it rained heavily when they were there. The most excited thing for me in the Britain was that I made a lot of friends there.

Robert Ballard is probably the most famous deep-sea explorer in the past 100 years. While he is best known for his historic discovery of the wreckage(殘骸) of the R.M.S. Titanic which sank to the bottom of the sea in 1912, he also discovered the wreckage of the Bismarck and the Yorktown. Over his career, Dr. Ballard has completed over 120 deep-sea journeys and continues to push exploration to new depths with new technologies and strategies. His new high-tech Inner Space Center at the University of Rhode Island links scientists all over the world and makes it possible to identify new discoveries in realtime.

Reporter: What were you like as a kid?

Ballard: I was a very “active” kid with lots of interests including sports (football, basketball, and tennis), fishing, and studies.

Ballard: My hero is Captain Nemo from the book, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne and his submarine the Nautilus.

That summer, I went to sea on two separate expeditions in Baja California with various oceanographers(海洋學(xué)家). During one of those expeditions, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a Scripps graduate with a Ph. D. in marine geology, who invited me to come to the University of California, Santa Barbara where I ended up getting my undergraduate degree in Geology and Chemistry with minors in Math and Physics.

Reporter: What’s the best piece of advice that anyone has ever given you that you can share with us?

A small robot may help children who are recovering from long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home.

These children may feel isolated from their friends and classmates.The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot,the children can hear their teachers and friends.They also can take part in class from wherever they are recovering.

A Norwegian company called No Isolation created a robot.The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel.The robot is called AV1.AV1 goes to school for a child who is at home while recovering from a long-term illness.And the child's school friends must help.They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child's desk.

Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works.She says,from home,the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then she/he uses the same device to control the robot's movements.At school,the robot becomes the eyes,ears and voice of the child.The child can take part in classroom activities from wherever she/he is recovering—whether at home or from a hospital bed.The robot is equipped with speakers,microphones and cameras that make communicating easy.It was designed to be tough.It is water resistant and can take a fall from a desk without damage.

Inside AV1,there is a small computer connected to a 4G network.A small camera hooked up to a small computer could do the job.But that would not be the same.AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason.Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.

"It took me a year to complete,all at night.I used almost 500 liters of paint.It was the biggest illegal graffiti（涂鴉）piece ever.

These are the words of a man named Saber from the United States.Saber is talking about a piece of colourful graffiti that he painted in Los Angeles.Saber did not have permission for this painting.It was on city property.Was the graffiti a piece of art?Or was Saber a criminal because he painted it illegally?

Abdal Ullah,a councilor in London,told TIMES magazine,"Graffiti is a crime.It ruins the environment.It makes our neighborhoods feel less safe.And it costs thousands of pounds each year to clean."

Graffiti artists often use high technology paint.This is hard to remove or paint over.Large cities spend millions of.dollars a year to remove graffiti.Graffiti is also often done in places where other criminal behaviour takes place, including violence and the use of illegal drugs.

Some people say that some kinds of graffiti can be considered art.Saber from Los Angeles said,"My painting shows 22 years of intense art making.And I think art is the number one goal for myself.Graffiti is the way I learn.Art gets a bad name because it is considered something only for a few people in society.It is seen as something only a rich or highly educated person can understand.And that is not true.Every single child in the world drew a picture once and had that excitement."

Luckily,there is a group called Writerz Blok in San Diego,California.They set up 12 walls where people can legally paint graffiti.Marcus Tufono,who works at Writerz Blok,explains,"Our goal is to move the illegal graffiti to a legal wall,and then put it on a computer screen and some software,so hat they can take their art and use it around the community.Then graffiti artists have a chance to succeed through their art."

I remember standing on the deck of a yacht(快艇) as the fresh wind quietly embraced us.4.(stand) against the rail, I saw sprays of the glittering Huangpu River fly along the side of 5.(we) yacht. The colorful lights on the banks were twinkling while the moonlight was dripping through the clouds. Shadows of the modern buildings were reflected on the water.6.(passenger) on the deck were deeply absorbed in the beauty of the night.

Not only the views,7.also the residents, touched me. I once found my cell phone8. (miss) during my stay in the city. After searching through every corner of my room and my pockets, I almost gave up hope. Unexpectedly, an hour9.(late) my mother picked up a phone call from a policeman who10.(say) a taxi driver had returned the phone. The policeman then returned my phone very soon.

The trip to Shanghai is one of the best in my memory.
