It is a huge waterfall group with 18 waterfalls of different
sizes.Some are wide and great,while others are narrow
but lively-all of them connect with rivers and streams,
making up a great "family"of water.It is even listed in
the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest
waterfall group in the world.
Huangguoshu Waterfall can be seen from above,
below,front,back,left and right.Rhinoceros Pool(
潭)is one of the best viewing spots(观景口)for the
waterfall.It lies at the foot of Huangguoshu Waterfall.The
waterfall falls from a high place and hits a deep pool below,
sending up small water drops that feel cool on the face.
Long ago,people thought the pool's shape looked like a
rhinoceros lying in the water,so they named it Rhinoceros
Pool.
And Huangguoshu Waterfall got its name from a
local plant,namely,the Yellow Fruit Tree.It is famous
for its greatness and the waterfall group.Because of the
rich rain in Guizhou Province,the waterfall never dries
up.In the rainy season,the water is like a curtain
()and you cannot even see the stones behind the
waterfall.It is just like ten thousand horses running
ahead.Visitors can go inside,touch the waterfall and
even see a rainbow on a sunny day.It is also one of the
filming spots of the TV series Journey to the West.

Recently,a primary school in Changsha has made
good use of Virtual Reality(VR)technology in an
English class.When the students put on the VR glasses,
they felt as if they had been transported to a new world.
In this world,they could see,touch and feel things,and
it all seemed so real.As they enjoyed the scenery
around them,they were also able to remember more
knowledge.
VR language learning is now starting to be widely
used in many schools.Think of it like this.Now you are
learning English in China.You don't have the
atmosphere (to use English,but if you learn
English in English-speaking countries,it'll be much
easier for you to make progress.
Nowadays,a lot of apps have also been designed to
serve VR language learning.An app "House of
Languages"is one of them.It can sense your movement
and the acts of your eyeballs,arms and hands,so you
don't have to sit still like in traditional classes.
When you are learning English in it,a lovely
racoon(浣熊)called Mr.Woo will guide you to
communicate in English.You can use English by
finishing tasks Mr.Woo gives you.For example,you
will be asked to find“certain things'”at your“home'y
according to the English words that Mr.Woo gives you.
77
After you've found these“things”,you should“take
them”,“come back'”toMr.Woo and“give them”to
him.Then he will say thanks to you.You will learn
English so quickly that you will even forget you are
learning.
Virtual Reality is showing increasing promise in
language education and the day isn't far away when it
will become one of the main media in education.

After a long day's study at school,you are very
tired.So after school,you go home to relax.When you
get home,a robot welcomes you.He looks happy to see
you.He takes your heavy schoolbag,and then follows
you to your room to put it on the desk.He sits beside
you and listens carefully as you talk about your school
life.When you finish,he tells you a new joke about a
cat and a mouse,and you laugh out loud,feeling much
better.Then he reminds you,"Today is your cousin's
birthday.You should call and say happy birthday to
him.And then he helps you with your homework.
This is your future,and the robot's name is NAO.
NAO has a small body,big eyes and a large head.He
can walk smoothly and dance to music.He listens and
78
talks,and he even learns and thinks for himself.His
creators predict that the robot will be used in people's
homes before 2040.This 16,000 robot knows who
you are-he can remember your face and your voice.
NAO can even express emotions(表达情感).
When you're sad,his eyes look soft,and he might touch
your hand.When you're happy,he smiles with his
screen face.He is a self-guided robot.A self-guided
robot can sense things,think and act.Other robots
might do two out of the three.For example,a robot
might sense things using cameras and think using
computers,but with no arms,he can't act.Another
robot can move and sense things,but he can't think for
himself.These aren't self-guided robots.But NAO can
do them all-he's like a smart little friend.
