29、ot speak to you?Poetry has always been a special way to communicate emotions. And usually, reading poetry is an activity done at home or in the library. But now, a new project has made poetry part of the daily lives of those who commute. Recently Shanghai Metro started the project Poetry on the Unde
30、rground, in which 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
31、English poetry. 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
32、 way of introducing poetry, with passengers often wanting to read more”, according to the local government organization Transport for London.The project also covers current events.

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. We felt a strong sense
34、 of responsibility. We felt our poems needed to acknowledge the problem but also offer some hope.” Indeed, its often poems with love and reassurance that strike a chord (共鸣) with people.Many have been posting lines from poems on the social networking platform Instagram. One post includes the lines “
35、And you will find your feet / Again on fresh pastures of promise” from Time to be Slow by John ODonohue.

Science fiction can inspire us to live better today so that we can live better lives tomorrow. As Scientific Americans noted, “Science fiction
41、can remind us of wonder and hope. 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
42、 what is possible in the universe. Who are we and what can we become? Can technology make the world a better place? 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 mentione
