Remote Getaways in the Indian Ocean

Thulusdhoo, Maldives

Palm trees move slowly from side to side in the warm air here just as they do on the private island destinations that occupy most of the Maldives’ islands. But unlike those islands, this island still keeps its local Maldivian lifestyle. Best of all, restaurants and activity providers are everywhere around the sandy beaches at much lower prices than those private islands.

Budget reference: Season Paradise offers a 10-night package from $1,250 per person.

Alphonse, Seychelles

Alphonse is usually considered as an Indian Ocean Galápagos. The BBC’s Blue Planet series was shot here. Visitors can join in conservation projects such as ocean clean-ups and turtle-tracking here. Tourism is such a recent arrival that dive sites are still being mapped out.

Budget reference: Original Diving offers a 10-night package from $10,567 per person.

Mohéli, Comoros

Few Indian Ocean destinations are as unchanged by tourism as the island of Mohéli, for the simple reason that few tourists ever visit. Only now are visitors discovering their white-sand beaches. The UNESCO-listed Mwali Biosphere Reserve, which is home to many endangered and rare animals, is located here.

Budget reference: Responsible Travel has a 10-night package from $1,453 per person.

Havelock, India

At least two flights and a couple of hours on a boat make some first-times question their decision for Havelock. But by the time they leave, most of them will regret why they didn’t book for longer.

Havelock is beautiful: mile upon mile of wild beach; barefoot luxury in hotels; great diving and surfing in the blue sea. In the villages, tourists can try delicious fish curry at roadside eateries.

Budget reference: Bamboo Travel offers a 10-night package from $3,355 per person.

On a very hot Saturday in San Antonio about 50 educators turned up for a three-hour workshop, titled “Enhancing Instruction With Artificial Intelligence”. During the workshop, attendees generated lesson plans and graded schoolwork with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and Microsoft CoPilot.

Celeste Simone, a middle school teacher who used the AI tools to generate pictures alongside vocabulary words and created illustrated storybooks that used students’ names as characters, said, “I’m shocked to see that they can create the materials in a matter of seconds. I don’t think I could go back to the way I did things before.”

Having seen how helpful the AI tools are, another attendee raised a concern, “Are we going to be replaced by AI?”

That remains to be seen. But to help the nation’s 4 million teachers to use the technology teachers unions have formed an unlikely partnership with the world’s largest technology companies such as Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic. The two groups don’t always see eye to eye but say they share a common goal: training the future workforce of America.

“Like it or not, AI is part of our world,” said Daaiyah Bilal, an official of The National Education Association (NEA), the country’s largest teachers union. “We are preparing kids for the future. That is our primary job.”

Under the arrangement announced in July, NEA is planning to build an AI training center in New York City that will offer virtual and in-person workshops for teachers. The goal is to open at least two more centers and train 400,000 teachers over the next five years.

Tech companies also see opportunities in education beyond training teachers. Microsoft announced a $4 billion initiative for AI research and training. It includes a program that will give all school districts and community colleges in Washington, Microsoft’s home state, free access to its CoPilot tools. Google said it would commit $1

billion for AI education and job training programs, including free access to its Gemini for education platforms for US high schools.

4. Which word best describes Celeste Simone’s attitude to the AI tools?

A. Concerned. B. Cautious.

C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.

5. What do the underlined words “see eye to eye” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Complain. B. Agree.

C. Invest. D. Negotiate.

6. What can we know about the AI training center in New York City?

A. It will offer online and in-person training.

B. It is one of the existing three training centers.

C. It is funded by one of the big tech companies.

D. It has already accepted 50 educators for trial.

7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The cooperation among tech companies.

B. An introduction to the NEA agreement.

C. The competition between teachers unions.

D. A reason for tech companies’ generosity.

China announced a long-awaited plan to integrate the Pearl River Delta Area (PRDA) as an attempt to create a powerhouse to rival the US Silicon Valley that is home to such well-known companies as Google, Facebook and Apple. The possibilities and challenges of the effort are both equally promising and challenging.

The plan is a natural result of the economic and technological development in the area. China’s opening up to the world more than four decades ago began in the area and PRDA has long been home to many of the country’s leading technological companies, including Huawei and Tencent.

“The plan is promising,” said Adam Xu, an analyst at OC & C Strategy Consultants. “If you really look at history in China, a lot of top-down plans always have very strong bottom-up support. And a lot of economic activities have already happened there. Now they have a bigger plan to officially recognize, promote and further accelerate (加速).”

The key challenge will be execution (执行). The plan has to integrate three different legal systems among
