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。

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
Dog owners often wish they could understand their pets’ thoughts. “Dog buttons” might turn their dream into a reality. These specially designed buttons, __1__ sound chips, enable dogs to communicate their needs by pressing buttons corresponding to pre-recorded words like “walk,” “play,” “outside,” and “food.” This bridges the communication __2__ between humans and their canine companions. The science behind dog buttons is based on the concept of associative learning. It’s a process __3__ learners can link actions with outcomes. For instance, if an owner consistently presses the “walk” button and then takes their dog for a walk, the dog
For many people, allergies are an all-too-familiar annoyance. The constant sneezing, itching, and watery eyes are just a few clear signs of allergies, which is a surprisingly common condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly triggers these reactions, and how can we cope with them? Allergies arise from a misunderstanding between our immune system and seemingly harmless substances. Under normal circumstances, the immune system acts as our body’s personal bodyguard, diligently identifying and eliminating threats like viruses and bacteria. However, in individuals with allergies, the immune system mistakenly identifies certain substances, called allergens, as invaders. This triggers a reaction, leading to
