While it is these that bring most tourists to this remote spot, there's far more to see and do here. Visit vast volcanic craters, take a trip to a preserved stone village or spend some time on the beaches. The choice is yours.

    An attractive and talented actress who is as comfortable in historical dramas as in modern day thrillers and comedies, Emily Mortimer was born in Great Britain in 1971.

    Mortimer's father is author John Mortimer, best known for his series of Rumpole of the Bailey mystery novels, and she seems to have absorbed her father's literary influence—before her career as an actress took off, Mortimer wrote a column (专栏) for the London Telegraph, and she's served as a screenwriter for an screen adaptation of Lorna Sage's book Bad Blood.

    Mortimer was a student at St. Paul's Girls School when she first developed an interest in acting, appearing in several student productions. After graduating from St. Paul s, she moved on to Oxford, where she majored in Russian. Mortimer found time to perform in several plays while at Oxford, and while acting in a student production she impressed a producer who cast her in a supporting role in a television adaptation of Catherine Cookson's The Glass Virgin in 1995 Several more television roles followed, including the British TV movie Sharpe's Sword, before she won her first film role, playing the wife of John Patterson (Val Kilmer) in 1996 s The Ghost and the Darknass.

    In 1998, Mortimer appeared as Kat Ashley in the international hit Elizabeth. In 2000, Mortimer was cast as Katherine in Kenneth Branngh's ill-fated musical adaptation of hovers Labour's Lost, but the experience had a happy ending for her—she met actor Alessandro Nivola, and the two soon fell in love and have been together ever since. That same year, Mortimer took on her biggest role in an American film to date.

    Getting old might not be something that's yet to cross your mind. But aging is going to defeat us one day, so it's something we'd all like to control.

    It would be great to have a long, healthy and happy life, and that's why scientists are constantly seeking out what we need to do to achieve it. We all know that regular exercise is good for us. But the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you're someone who walks at a fast pace. That's because the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains and their bodies are aging.

    The BBC's Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,000 people found that slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated aging". Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those walking faster. The study also found not only did slower walkers bodies age more quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.

    This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late; researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor (运动)skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will have a healthier life.

    So, what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age and understanding what this might mean could be a way of testing treatments to slow human aging.

    Long long ago, some have predicted there would be robots on the earth. Nowadays we are familiar with a variety of robots that have some special skills in some science fiction movies and some real robots in our daily life. Some may dream of owning one or two or more robots to free them from something dangerous or tiring, challenging... Here's some good news for them.

    Zhejiang Aishida Electric Co, also known as ASD, announced plans on Monday to invest at least 500 million yuan (US $ 71. 4 million) to build an industrial robot factory which will help the company establish "a smart manufacturing ecosystem" in the Yangtze River Delta region.

    "Besides the new plant in Zhejiang Province, ASD also plans to build ASD Shanghai Intelligent Valley and related logistics (后勤) and research facilities in the region. This ecosystem will cover robotics, smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things," said Chen Helin, chairman of Shenzhen-listed ASD.

    Despite mounting economic uncertainties, China's robot demand will continue to grow thanks to digitalized and artificial intelligence upgrade trends, industry insiders said. China's annual sales of industrial robots will hit 150,000 units in 2020, and 260,000 units in 2025, according to the Shanghai Robot Industry Association. The new ASD factory, located in Wenling, Zhejiang Province, will produce 20,000 industrial robots annually. About 1,000 robots manufactured at the new factory will be used in ASD's production line for cooking pots and other devices.

    "ASD will join other industry players to attend the China International Industry Fair, which opens on Tuesday in Shanghai. ASD is "still interested in” being listed on the new Shanghai STAR market through spinning off its robot or smart manufacturing business," Chen said on Monday.

    As tech gets ever more clever, it opens possibilities - not just for business but for cybercriminals (网络罪犯). Companies are being kept on their toes to find the most up-to-date security. However, the real question is, "How can we use this securely?"

    AIs may make it easier to attack company systems. They also give security experts new ways to detect problems and free them up from repetitive (重复的) work.

    AIs also provide new solutions for security operation centers. This job used to be done by skilled analysts (分析师). But machine learning can now spot 80 percent of false positives, leaving the analysts to work on the potentially harmful 20 percent.

    AIs are very good at recognizing new things which are potentially a problem. They spot new threats because they've learned what looks normal and what doesn't. You have to accept you will be attacked and deal with it like an immune system would. The next step is to allow Al systems to take action in real time, so you have self-defending networks.

A. So they can focus their efforts where they are needed most.

B. This includes old and new tech working side by side.

C. They're a bit like the human immune system.

D. For example, it is very good at identifying misleading security alarms.

E. It's vital to have a right view of how technology is actually used.

F. Then you will have an Al reacting to attacks and you'll never even know it.

G. When they adopt new technology, they often ask themselves, "Is this secure?"

    In 2016, I was part of a group sponsoring a family of refugees (难民).Marwa Ataya and Salem Ajaj had 1 their country with three kids. They 2 in our hometown of Victoria. That year, we drove them to doctor's appointments and 3 them find housing furnish their home and enroll (登记) their 4 in school. They opened a5 store.

    Over time, we 6a friendship, celebrating our kids' birthdays together and chatting whenever we 7 at their store.

    In March 2020, my family traveled to Mexico. When we left Canada, North Americans weren't worried about COVID-19. But the situation changed 8. We were still 9when the Canadian Government's recommendation against travel was released. Upon 10,  we decided to self-isolate (自我隔离），just to be safe. That 11 not leaving the house for 14 days—not even to go to groceries.

    Partway through our self-isolation I 12 a text from Marwa saying she was outside our house. I opened the door to seven big bags of groceries. Marwa was standing a 13 distance away. She'd brought my family necessaries. I was so 14knew she and her husband were busy at home. That they took the time to care for us was incredibly 15. I would have liked to give her a 16, but I couldn't.

    Later, I 17 she'd also dropped off groceries for my parents. Given that they're in their 80s, this was a huge 18. I insisted on paying Marwa. She just refused.

    I hope that people will remember how much refugees do for the 19. Canada is a kind and rich country because of the 20 of newcomers. I hope Canadians will step up and help them get to safety.

    This story happened to me last Christmas Eve. I was in the Dollar Tree with (I) son looking for a particular item. Suddenly, a young girl (come) up to us, said

    Merry Christmas," and stuck something into my hand. She ran off before I could say a word or realize what was happening. I took it, (think) it was just a kid's homemade card or a religious tract (册子). Then I saw it was envelope and was sort of afraid to open it. I walked around the store a bit and my son told me to go ahead and open it, so I did. There was a $ 100 bill! I (actual) didn't know if it was real I had never seen one of the new $ 100 bills before. I am not a needy person.

    When my adult (kid) heard about this, they teased me about "looking homeless.” Of course I passed on the gift to a (much) deserving person. Anyway, yes, I would take a gift a stranger. People do this as a random act of kindness. It spreads the holiday spirit. Sometimes I do random acts of kindness for strangers, too, and it (make) me feel good.

    Last weekend, I went hike with some friends. Setting off early in the morning, we gathered at the gate of a park in ours city. Then we headed for our destination. We have planned to climb a hill near the park. On the way, we talked, laughed or sang happily. It took us three hour to reach the top. The wonderfully view from the top made all the efforts worthwhile. We had a nice rest and picnic, sharing that we carried in our bags each other. At about four in the afternoon, we began our back trip. It was so a nice experience to get close to the nature and enjoy fresh air that we had a great day.
