Even the doctor agrees Im in good condition. Im a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issueI rode the Twistosa

9、urus at Flamingo Land, which spins you round quite fast. I didnt choose to go on that. Id have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldnt ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some dangerI wasnt nervous - I dont get frightene

10、d of anything. I was securely fastened，so I knew I wouldnt fall out. The roller-coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldnt be a better experience.

11、 got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate.

16、nd watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest. But communicating with a submarine （潜艇） or a diver is not so easy. The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists. The difficulty stems from the fact that radi

17、o signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water. Sonar（声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the airNow, researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication.What weve shown is tha

18、t its actually achievable to communicate from underwater to the air， says Fadel Adib, a professor at MJTs Media Lab, who led the research.The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface, making vibrations （震动）corresponding to the data. A sur

19、face receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. The researchers call the system TARF. It has any number of potential real-world uses, Adib says. It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane s black box and it could allow submarines to

20、 communicate with the surfaceRight now the technology is low-resolution. The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions-high wave

21、s, storms, schools of fish. They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction- air to waterIf the technology proves successful in real-world conditions, expect texting while diving to be the latest underwater fashion8.

TARF Becoming a New Means of CommunicationDIts not easy feeling like youre always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make. Your mind is in a

25、n endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again. You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things fight if you find mistakes. You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you. You seek to be socially perfectAcademically，you work long en

26、dless hours just to make those excellent marks. Although most would say its good to have high standards，they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection. If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as though you have failed, but youre far from failing,

27、 you just dont see it that way. So instead you are telling yourself that youre stupid, and not smart. The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the not good enough label each and every dayYou not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others. If people

Its our imperfections that make life interesting
