Are you looking for some great beach movies? If you are, here are some beach movies that you are advised to watch.

    Blue Hawaii (1961)

    The first of Elvis Presley's Hawaiian three beach movies puts him into a setting(背景) as an army man who returns home for some surfing. Mom Angela Land sbury wants Presley to get a real job, but he's all about touring the island. Relax, Mom. Time for some wonderful parties!

    Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)

    The most famous of the “beach party” film of the 1960s stars Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. This movie is all about how fun it is to be a teenager, especially if you're at a party on the beach. Sunny, silly and energetic! You might find yourself laughing at the story and being happy after watching it.

    Six Days Seven Nights (1998)

    Anne Heche stars a woman unhappily engaged (订婚) to Frank Martin. On a vacation, she finds herself on a plane piloted by a sad man called Quinn Harris. They hate each other, which gets even more annoying once they two find themselves being alone on an island with no people. What better setting to fall in love?

Teen Beach Movie (2013)

    The Disney Channel remade the beach party movie in 2013 and brought us a new series of teens-dancing-on-the-beach movies. Ross Lynch is a kid suddenly thrown into a actual teen beach movie by a magic wave! Time to dress up fifties-style and sing tunes (曲调) like Surf Crazy and Cruisin for a Bruisin. In the end, the kids return to the real world. These are the movies to watch if you love happy endings.

    That woman carried a new blanket (毛毯) over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.

    “Is it finished?” I asked.

    She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.

    “It is beautiful, so skillfully woven (编织),” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”

    “I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo village.”

    We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.

    It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman's words.

    “Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” my mother asked.

    “What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked.

    “Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs (设计) in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example —the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch (一针) missing.”

    I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!

    “But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?” I asked.

    “They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come — it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”

    It's true that many dads in the wild aren't interested in parenting, but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start. Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad!

    The male giant water bug (雄性负子蝽) doesn't seem to mind a heavy load (负荷物) on his back for his kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch (孵化). The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.

    Now let's turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young — as many as 100 — until they can live on their own.

A similar example can be found in emperor penguins (帝企鹅) living in cold areas. The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the father's feet, in very cold temperatures that drop down to -39℃. As a result, the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!

    Once I was troubled by tourists to do a favor for them—take their photos. Sometimes they complained that the photos I took were not good.

    Now fellow travelers trouble me in a different way—with their selfie sticks (自拍杆). I fear my head will be knocked or my eyes poked (戳) by the poles with mobile phone cameras put on them.

    Admittedly, it is a good invention. With a cool $3, you can take solo or group photos without asking for a favor from strangers. But if you want to take your selfie sticks out to travel to the West, think twice. Selfie-sticks bans have been spreading in some of the world's important museums, galleries, parks and soccer stadiums including Disney. Visitors have to leave their selfie sticks in a locker before entering to protect paintings, individual privacy and the overall visitor experience.

    In China, selfie sticks are still widely used. People would do anything to take a perfect selfie and don't pay attention to their surroundings and other travelers. Many examples have shown things could go horribly wrong when people were taking selfies. For example, earlier this year, a starfish died at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum after a visitor took it out to take a selfie, and last year a criminal was caught by the Chinese police after the criminal posted a selfie of himself on Wudang Mountain and shared it on social media, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

    Thus, I strongly advise travelers not to take a selfie in a crowded public place, indoors or at any sensitive places such as cemeteries and memorial places, especially when the police are looking for you. If you are a die-hard selfie fan, there are some options cooler than a selfie stick. One is a waterproof (防水的) wrist-band called a “pop stick”. Just like the slap bracelets (手镯) we used to wear when we were kids, it unrolls into a stiff selfie stick. Another one is “selfie ring”, an accessory that helps you stick your phone to your hand so you can snap better selfies.

    Paen Long has had a dream ever since he saw a plane for the first time at the age of six. His dream was to 1 a plane. Last year, the 30-year-old man started building his plain 2. “I was afraid that people would 3 me, so sometimes I worked at night,” he said. It was a long time 4 he put his dream into practice. Finally, Paen Long decided to try to build his own plane, using the money he had 5 from running his own garage. He has spent three years 6 YouTube videos in order to 7 how to make a plane.

    It took him a year to build his plane, using mostly recycled materials. The plane's first 8 came at 3pm on 8^th, March. Local villages gathered excitedly to watch the plane fly. 9, the plane only got 50m in the air before crashing (撞击) to the 10. “When all people were looking at me, I felt very 11,” he said.

    Although the first try 12, Paen Long remains 13. His next project is to build a seaplane. Paen Long thinks the plane will cost over $10,000. “I never feel 14 for spending all my money building a plane,” he said.

    His wife, Hing Muoyheng, 15 about her husband, especially as they have two young sons. However, she has no 16. “I don't know how planes work and he doesn't have any 17 to help him. He can only search for information himself,” she said. “I tried to ask him to 18 a few times because I was afraid, but he said he wouldn't 19, so I have to support his 20.”

    Thomas is an undergraduate student at Simon Fraser University. Three years ago, he was pursuing a Science degree with the goal of (become) a nurse but was unsure of his next steps.

    One day he was attending a classroom presentation, Thomas learned about the YWCA's Boy 4 Real program. “It was unique experience to work with the youth, where you are giving (they) skills to prepare for high school.”

    Thomas has been volunteering for the program for over 3 years. His favorite parts (be) the community service and healthy living units, where he can share and apply what he's learning in university a biology student. The community service project, in which volunteers lead the youth of Grade 7 to visit a seniors home or collect cans for a food bank, is (especial) meaningful to Thomas.

    Volunteering with the YWCA has helped Thomas see the impact that can (make) by him as a mentor. Boy 4 Real gave him a (clear) direction of where he is headed professionally than before. Now he has made up his mind (continue) to stay at a school being a teacher after finishing his bachelor's degree.
