Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.The number 1
33、 safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. However, a cal
34、m ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards. Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you has a pr
35、oblem, the other may be able to get help, including signaling for assistance from others. Dont fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up the slope
36、of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you are caught in a rip current, dont fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow a
37、nd a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.51.

41、uck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range
42、 of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature! The very next day, I grabbed my ca
43、mera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, Im singing in
44、the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child.

Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature
45、reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.

49、ike the easiestCompetitors have to do two thingsThe first is to stand stillThe second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car，and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficultLots of people are doing the same thingAnd the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who
50、 can carry on doing it for the longest timeThat person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to doAt the beginning it isAnyone can stand stillBut when the contest has been going for four or five days，standing still seems like the most difficult job in the worldAnd keeping the hand i

52、the car for supportWinners need to be able to show great powers of attentionThey also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enterEntrants in the Longview handathon certainly dont seem to
53、do much preparationMost say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions，but there is little rivalry （敌对）
