VR technology (虚拟现实技术) has been around for many years, but it is only in recent years that most people can use it. The technology has been used by many industries (产业), from computer games to healthcare, and now the travel industry is starting to see how useful it can be.
VR travel allows (允许) people to visit places without leaving their homes. This helps to save time and money. With VR, travellers can enjoy a full view of the places they visit. They can also interact (互动) with the environment, walk around and even touch things. VR travel can take people to places that are difficult to reach or dangerous to visit, like the top of Mount Everest or the ocean floor.
Also, VR travel can be used in schools, allowing students to visit and study places of interest, and learn about different cultures. It can also be used when people want to check what a place offers before they decide to book a trip.
However, VR travel is still in an early period of growth, and there are problems that need to be solved. The technology costs too much, and not everyone has enough money to buy a pair of VR glasses. Moreover, the VR experience changes with the tools you have. The better tools you use, the more wonderful experiences you will get. There is also a worry that VR travel may replace (替代) traditional travel one day.
Even with these problems, the future of VR travel is exciting. The travel industry is starting to welcome VR, and as the technology improves, VR travel may become a popular way to go around the world, and it will play an important role in how people learn about the world.

Just around the time when most of the snow has melted, spring comes honking back to my home in Spencerville, Ontario. It comes loudly. Canada geese don’t care if you’re sleeping or if you’re eating breakfast—they honk like crazy!
The sound is a whisper at first: honk, honk, honk, coming from the south. Then I see tiny dots (点) up high. Their calls get louder: honk, honk, honk!
The dots form the letter V, moving quickly toward me in the blue sky. There are many geese flying in that V shape. The one at the front has the hardest job. When he gets tired, he moves back and another one takes a turn being the leader. They are even louder now. honk, honk, honk!
The geese fly right over me. I can see their black heads and long black necks. Their dark brown wings wave to me as they fly through the air. I can’t hear anything else, just honk, honk, honk!
I watch the geese fly down in the field behind my house. Two black legs unfold (张开) from under their white bellies. They stop flapping (拍打) their wings and land (降落) perfectly.
The geese are hungry after their long journey. A farmer’s field is a great place to eat and rest. They eat bits of corn in the mud and swim in large puddles of melted snow, looking for more food. When they find something, they tip (倾斜) forward and put their bead and neck right underwater to get it. The water looks cold to me!
In a few days, the fields are soon filled with noisy Canada geese. They honk to say hello to each other: honk, honk, honk, honk. They honk to warn of danger, like when my big dog Harley splashes through the puddles, ready for a game of chase! Honk. Honk. Honk. They honk because they are happy: honk, honk, honk, honk.
I watch, and I listen. The geese will be leaving in another couple of days to continue on their noisy journey north. Spring is finally here!

The drum has existed (存在) in Chinese civilization for thousands of years and has a deep spiritual meaning which is more than a kind of musical instrument (乐器). Confucius regarded the “Drum Dance” highly. It is also the origin of the Chinese phrase “guwu” which means “embolden” (大胆) in English.
The drum was mentioned in Chinese history in the Pottery Age. The Zhou dynasty set up the drum music institution (机构) that was responsible (负责的) for the management (管理) of officers known as “drum men” and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in ancient Chinese practices such as sacrifice (祭祀) , military (军事) , labor (劳动) and other activities.
In ancient (古代的) China, agriculture was the main form of production and drums were considered indispensable (不可或缺的) for a good harvest. Since the sound of drums echoes that of thunder, it was believed that playing drums could attract rain. So the instrument was used to pray for good weather and to “communicate” with them.
Drums also played a part in the war. Because of a strong resonance effect (共振作用), the drum’s sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies. So the drum was used as a military booster (激励) for a long time.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, the society was developing fast and drums were widely used. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing, lion dance, festival gathering and labor competition were all together with the beats of drums. The sound of drums became synonymous (同义的) with celebrations, filling hearts with joy.
Different types of Chinese drums exist today. For example, “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for peace and prosperity while “Ansai Waist Drum” is meant to show the spirit of the Loess Plateau (黄土高原) and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China. Kaifeng has “Pan Drum”, and Luochuan of Shaanxi Province is known for its “Bie Drum”. There are also some cheerful and time-honored drum dances such as “Fengyang Flower Drum” in Anhui Province and “Fishing Basketball Drum” in Jiangsu Province.
In a word, drum culture reflects (反映) the stability (安定) and prosperity (繁荣) of Chinese society. For thousands of years, Chinese people have always been expecting peace and satisfaction.
