Here are some great beach spots for your family to have some fun together.

■Galadesi Beach, Florida

To be honest, you'll hardly be alone here. Caladesi Island State Park is home to hundreds of birds nesting(栖息) among the sunflower-flecked small hills of sand. On the other hand, there is not a parking space in sight.

How to Get There: The park, off the west coast, can be gotten to by boat from Honeymoon Island State Park.

■Ruby Beach, Washington

Ruby Beach feels almost mythical(神话的),especially at low tide and in the fog. The rocks there are strange-looking, and the pools can be surprising, too

How to Get There: There's a sign seven miles north of Kalaloch on Hwy, 101. From the parking lot, follow the path through the trees, down a decline, then toward the water.

■Pfeiffer Beach, California

The rocks there are amazing. In some places, the sand is a light shade of purple. Sure, it can get windy, but that's a small price to pay for paradise.

How to Get There: The turn off is actually just past the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park entrance, at Sycamore Canyon Rd. Drive two miles to the beach, and then walk 10 minutes north to Deer Canyon. There's no sign, but you'll know it when you see it.

■High Bar Harbor, New Jersey

It sits on Long Beach Island, one of the most popular Jersey shores. But watch the water when the tide(潮汐）comes in, you may not be able to leave until the tide goes.

How to Get There: Take Long Beach Blvd. north into the town of Barnegat Light and turn left on 20th St. ,a. k. a. Auburn Road Go a 1/3 of a mile, and then turn right at the Y-shaped crossing onto Sunset Blvd. Take it to the end. You'll see a footpath( 脚印）to the beach.

1.When you're walking on Pfeiffer Beach, you may______.

A. meet a windy day B. see some red sands C. see lots of birds D. see a parking space

2.Ruby Beach and Pfeiffer Beach have ______in common.

A. small pools B. special rocks C. purple sand D. lots of birds

3.It can be inferred when the tides come in that______.

Now, are you changing your living habits to have a low carbon life? Here are some strategies (策略) for you.

Strategy One

●Each week, choose one day when you don’t eat meat. Meat takes up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. And animals must be fed on farmed plants, which could be used to feed many more people.

Strategy Two

●Only buy the amount of food you need. When you buy food, go local rather than imported (进口的), and get fresh vegetables instead of frozen.

Strategy Three

●Make sure you keep the things such as paper and plastic bottles separate (独立) so that they can be recycled. There are places where you can recycle batteries. Make sure you find them.

Strategy Four

●Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time by two minutes. This will save water and give you an extra two minutes in bed.

Strategy Five

●Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is better still. It’s also better for your health and cheaper. It can even be quicker than sitting in a car at rush hours in a busy city. For long distances, coaches are better than trains.

Strategy Six

●Try to buy good, long-lasting products even though they may cost a little more. A small screen TV is better than a big screen. Keep your electronic products one year longer than you would usually have.

1.What does the underline phrase “low carbon” in paragraph one mean?

2. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

3. What’s the purpose(目的) of the passage?

Have you ever been having a great day when suddenly a past mistake comes into your head? Here are some ideas on forgetting your past mistakes and moving forward in life.

You should let the mistakes in the past go away. You are not defined (界定) by your past mistakes. A mistake is just something that has happened in your life. And mistakes are only a small part of your life. You made mistakes because you thought something was the best for you. However, now you know clearly that it wasn’t the best.

Work out why you keep making the same mistake. It is important for you to learn why you keep making the same mistake. There are many ways to do this. For example, you can try to find out the cause(原因) of this mistake in order to learn more about it. To look into something deeply is very important.

See what you have learned from the experience. After you have learned why you made the mistake, you should think about what you have learned from it. Maybe you recognize that you should have listened to your heart. Or maybe you need to forgive(原谅) yourself for a mistake that you made a few days ago.
