30、hich commuters can read poems while travelling on the underground. This is similar to the project of the same name that has been running since 1986 in London.Judith Chernaik, founder of Londons Poems on the Underground, said that the poems could be from great poets or unknown lovers of English poetr
31、y. In Chernaiks view, these poems known as a wonder of the city aim to bring poetry to passengers, and show a wide range of styles. The styles may range from classical to contemporary, domestic to international.Whether you love or hate poetry, this project “has proven to be an excellent way of intro
32、ducing poetry, with passengers often wanting to read more”, according to the local government organization Transport for London.The project also covers current events. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Londoner Michael Rosen wrote a poem to share his experience of 48-day intensive care earlier this year
33、. The poem was shown on the London underground. “We had a very strong feeling that the times have been so difficult for everybody in all kinds of ways,” Chernaik told The Telegraph. “Although normal life is starting to resume, we all know its still very dangerous.

39、o get into science fiction.While science fiction, or sci-fi, often asks that most powerful question “What if?” it also deals with “This, now”: reflecting it, questioning it and satirizing (讽刺) it. Science fiction can act at once as a glimpse into our imaginary future while holding a mirror up to our
40、 current state of society.Indeed, it can act as a warning for the present to avoid a terrifying future or as a blueprint for future technology. Science fiction can inspire us to live better today so that we can live better lives tomorrow. As Scientific Americans noted, “Science fiction can remind us

But it also sends us a warning to think about the potential influences of our findings, beyond our idealistic dreams.”Thanks to its brilliant creators, sci-fi becomes the perfect genre to ask the greatest questions that humans dare to ask and broaden the concepts of what is poss

What will tomorrow bring and what can we do today to make that a reality?The genre of sci-fi can push the boundaries of what we think is possible, like the legendary submarine mentioned in 20,000 L
43、eagues Under the Sea far before any such vehicle existed. Or it can warn us of a near-future impacted by biotechnology, as in the MaddAddam trilogy. Sci-fi can even imagine how Earth responds to first contact with aliens, a focus of The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. Sci-fi and its creators know n
44、o limits to what can be imagined. Anything is possible.As science fiction grows in popularity, more books are being written, and more movies and TV shows are adapting these works for the screen.

But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? _16_.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. _17_.
