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。

The US-Israeli war with Iran, which began on Feb. 28, has killed thousands of people, destabilized the Middle East and rocked global energy markets by effectively closing the strait. WHAT IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Lying between Oman and Iran and linking the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond, the strait is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with a shipping lane just 3km wide in either direction. Perhaps the world’s most important energy shipping channel, the waterway is about 167km long. Following through on an old threat, Tehran effectively closed the strait
Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common. You might keep playing a video game you no longer enjoy because you’ve invested countless hours in building your character, or maintain a toxic friendship because you’ve known

When you twist open a bottle of carbonated water, bubbles rush out with a hissing sound. This drink is simply water infused with carbon dioxide (CO2) under pressure, giving it that fizz on your tongue. But this basic description barely scratches the surface of the carbonated water family. Although all carbonated waters are bubbly, slight differences set them apart. Seltzer is just plain water with artificial CO2—no minerals, no extras. Club soda includes added minerals such as sodium bicarbonate, which creates a slightly salty flavor. This makes club soda suitable for mixing with fruit juices. Sparkling water, on the
