9、 required creditsNext month, Im traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala one of the local languages to have a conversation. I wasnt sure how I was going to manage this until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary Im going to need. Thanks to Memrise, t
10、he application Im using. It feels just like a game.“People often stop learning things because they feel theyre not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “Were trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun
11、and is something youd want to do instead of watching TV.”Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you learn the words, you “water your plants”. When the application believes that youve really memorized a word, it moves the word to yo
12、ur “garden”. And if you forget to log on, the application sends you emails, reminding you to “water your plants”.The application uses two principles about learning. The first is that people memorize things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own
13、language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time b
14、etween study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because its the kind of application you only use for five or ten minutes a day.Ive learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise.

18、rt.Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lakes breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. The 26-mile (41.84-kilometers) journey starts on the lakes eastern shore. In March, the ice i
19、s a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent (透明的). “Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he o
20、r she were jogging through space.” The New York Times noted.The landscape might be beautiful, but its also harsh. Strong winds blast (侵袭) across the lake and frostbite can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.“When you are in such
21、 an environment, you dont have cars around you, and you dont have the noise around.

27、rored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.How does the illusion work? A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects the bench and the person. And then computer translates them into the 3D animations. Meanwhile
28、sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user.“Our goal for this project was: hear a character coming, see them ente
29、r the space, and feel them sit next to you,” said Moshe Mahler, principal digital artist at Disney Research.
