Are you hot, bored and out of ideas for summer fun?
Why not take a trip to the beach? One of the best ways to spend a day at the beach is making a sand castle.
The sand castle in this picture must have taken a long time to make. It probably took many people working with many different tools to build a sand castle so big. Building a sand castle this big would also take a lot of patience. Just think -- if you make one tiny mistake, the whole sand castle will crumble!

You don't need a lot of tools or a lot of people to build your own sand castle. All you need is some sand, water and your hands. Of course, if you can find them, there are a few things that might help you out. A shovel will help you dig and a bucket can hold sand and water.
Don't stop there! Look all over the beach to see what you can find to decorate your sand castle. Shells, leaves and pieces of wood can make beautiful decorations.(Kayleen Hartman, Staff Writer)
你是否感到炎熱、無聊，不知夏日該以何為樂？
為何不到海邊一遊呢？在海邊度日最有趣的方式之一就是蓋沙堡。
照片中的沙堡一定花了不少時間才蓋好，大概要很多人用多種不同的工具才能蓋這麼大的沙堡。蓋這麼大的沙堡也得要很有耐心，想想看，你若犯一丁點錯誤，整個沙堡就會傾毀。
蓋自己的沙堡不用很多工具，也無需很多人幫忙，你只需要一些沙子、水，和雙手，當然囉，你如果有辦法找到一些工具，它們也能夠幫得上忙。鏟子能幫你挖沙，而水桶可以用來裝沙子或水。
不止如此！四處看看海邊，找找有沒有能裝飾沙堡的東西。貝殼、樹葉和木片都是美麗的裝飾品。

Have you ever dreamed of hiking Taiwan’s majestic Mt. Jade or visiting Peru’s breathtaking Machu Picchu? These adventures sound amazing, but there’s something you should know about first: “altitude sickness.” This condition strikes when you climb to a higher elevation too quickly. The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes, making it harder for your body to absorb oxygen. The symptoms usually begin within hours of reaching high altitudes — about 2,500 meters or higher. You might experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, or extreme fatigue. These symptoms can last for several days. The severity of altitude sickness varies

Water beaded off her hair, ran from her coat, and made a small lake on the vinyl. She kept her head down, long black strands clinging to her face. “Where to?” She gave an address. “Funeral?” he asked as they slipped into the Xinhai Tunnel, rain fading to a hollow drum. She glanced up, puzzled. “No. Why?” “Crematorium’s about the only thing here.” He caught her eyes in the mirror.
