best teacherand there is no better example of this idea than theMing dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake（15871641）.His book The Travel Notesof Xu Xiake,not only encouraged a love of

mother as tradition required.But his mother had different ideas.Understanding her sons love of travel and valuing theknowledge he could get from such experiences,this modernthinking woman refused to keep herson at home.She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year,when there was less farmwork.So at the age of twenty and with his mothers support,Xu set off for the first time,leavingbehind not only his mother but his new wife as well.He would repeat this goodbye each year formost of the next 30 years.During this time,he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom,carefullystudying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diaryThis diary,which once had over 500,000 words,would eventually become The Travel Notes of XuXiake.Although rich,Xu avoided comfortable travel,preferring to go almost everywhere on foot.This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world.Many of his trips were to hard toreach mountain areas,and through wild forests where fewpeople lived.His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however.Progress was slow and tiringand he was frequently sick,robbed and beaten during his journeys.Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey,a 4 year trip through theSouthwest of China.He died in 1641,soon after returning

view.CommentsMuseums are not only there for enjoyment;they are education.This is why they must be free.While museums need a huge amount of money to operate,let the wealthy pay for it.The ideaof a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrongKrista Chen（US）Age 15Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art.Generally people

discusses scientific topics.D DWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting,this year was even more so for somestudents at White Cloud Primary School.They became the worlds first kids to be taught by anelectronic teacher.This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroomInstead,he is a computercreated head that appears,when needed,on students computer or phonescreens.His name is Bill.Created by technology company Smart Machines,Bill is able to show human-like behavior.He is designed to teach a special program about environmentalfriendly power created
