Hoyo Azul Tours
Hoyo Azul has more to offer than its simple name. This famous natural pool, whose unexpected existence at the base of a 200-foot (61-meter) cliff (悬崖)surprises and delights visitors, is one of the Dominican Republic's top destinations for swimming, nature tours, and other activities.
The Basics
Hoyo Azul lies in Scape Park. To reach it, take a guided hike through the park. Those with an interest in nature can get a better understanding of the ecosystem (生态系统) on a full-day ecotour that combines suspension bridges and hiking with a trip to Hoyo Azul. Full-day tours are also available for an easy day trip.
Things to Know before You Go
It offers a variety of tour packages that include a trip to Hoyo Azul.
Bring your own towel and cash for souvenirs (纪念品) and photos.
Floating equipment is available for those who cannot swim.
How to Get There

When to Get There
Budget travelers should head to Hoyo Azul during the low season—from August to early December—for the best deals on accommodations and activities. Warm weather year-round means that swimming, hiking, and other outdoor activities are always a choice.
I am a Canadian artist living in Victoria. My work focuses on peace. My art helps me find answers, or at least deal with some of the worrying realities of the modern day.
My trips into Baghdad standing for peace caused huge stress to my family and me. It took a few years before I was able to come to accept that whole experience and work out how to continue to work as an artist. I put my energy into creating natural art facilities that awoke a sense of peace in myself and others. I set up my first project in a large field, using a simple mother and child design. I later did two similar, small works, one in Scotland and the other in Baghdad.
I wanted to create something more permanent(永恒的), however, and so I created the Peace Image in Hudson's Hope. It can't be seen very well on the ground these days, because the locals just loved riding over the large piles of dirt. I don't mind that at all. The Peace Image still turns up well from the air and on Google maps though.
For more than 50 years now, I've felt pleased to be able to express myself through my art. In the autumn of 2013, I was encouraged to lead the creation of a Peace Garden art project at Woodwynn Farms in Central Saanich. After everything we had been through, it was such a gift to work closely with my wife, Elizabeth Wellburn, a talented artist. It was and still is a labour of love.

A recent study confirms that several turtle species(海龟种类) have either greatly dropped or disappeared from various sections of the Australian Murray River. "The problem is that the long life of turtles makes people unable to sense the seriousness of the situation," says Ricky Spencer, a co-author of the study, which was published in February in Scientific Reports. "It's human nature that only when something is gone do we start missing it."
Spencer and his workmates recorded the population of three once common turtle species at 52 sites along the southern areas of the river. The researchers inferred the species' population sizes from the number of individuals they caught in a given amount of time. They found the turtles have disappeared in places where they were previously rich, and most of the individuals they managed to catch elsewhere were large—and likely old—adults. Spencer and his workmates blame the losses on continuing nest predation(捕食) by foxes, accompanied by other problems, including a worse and worse environment and serious drought(干旱) in the 2000s.
"We have known about the sudden sharp drop of the population of the turtles for tens of years, and although media have covered a lot about the 'trouble of our rivers', nothing has been done," says Rick Shine from Macquarie University in Sydney. "This paper is a wake-up call that unless we begin to do something about turtle protection, we may lose an attractive part of our native creatures."
The turtles could recover quickly if action is taken to protect nests from foxes and bring back living areas, Spencer notes. But governments tend to respond only when losses reach crisis levels, and the Murray River species currently lack the government's protection, he says. He and his workmates have a solution, however. "Our next step is to start designing community protection efforts for common turtle species," he explains, "so people can actually do things without having to wait for the government's support."
Cute Ways to Wake Someone Up over the Phone
In the morning waking someone up is what many people dislike. However, maybe waking up on a special phone call changes a person's opinion. As a result, give a person a special morning wake-up call to start his day off and hopefully improve his view for the rest of the day.
Playing a Song
Play a song when your lucky one answers the phone. If you don't want to start the day with a bright song, choose his favorite music or one that has a special meaning for the two of you to make sure he'll know at once who is providing his cute wake-up call.
Making an Impression
Try out a few expressions to wish your special person a good morning. You can choose a phrase from her favorite movie and imitate (模仿) the actor's voice from the movie.

It was 12: 00 noon on a Monday. As I1a local fast food restaurant and parked, I noticed an old truck with a trailer (拖车) attached. The driver had pulled into the narrow parking lot and2to exit through the road. But he was going the wrong way and3the road.
To get it out of everyone's4, he was trying to turn it around.5, the trailer jackknifed (弯成V字形). There were a lot of people watching but no one6to help. I walked over to the driver's window and asked if he needed help.
The driver was an old man and looked very7. I could tell that he didn't know how to

He told me that he had just got out of the 11 and that he was so12; he thought he was going to have another heart attack on the spot. He said, "You're a good man and I can never thank you enough." I could13that his thank-you to me was14from the heart. He then drove away.
Working in construction all my life, I have been often15to drive vehicles with a trailer behind them. To me this was a fairly16situation to deal with. But to a(n)17driver it can be very difficult. A simple thank-you was certainly enough for such a little act of18.

I'm not sure when I started to love qipaos. I just remember that when I saw Zhao Weiand other stars (wear) qipaos in the TV series Romance in the Rain, I (impress). Although Chinese women are fond of wearing qipaos for special events, for example, red ones for weddings, I wear them more (frequent), not only for parties but also sometimes even in the office.
I've collected some qipaos, (buy) at a store in one of Beijing's historical neighborhoods. A Chinese friend of mine recently gave me one of her old qipaos, which almost reaches my ankles. The qipao fits well at the shoulders, it was simply too tight(紧的)at the waist.
Many foreigners'(body) differ from those of the Chinese, which makes hard for some foreigners to take off qipaos. Because I am not too short, and pretty thin, I can often buy ready-made qipaos in China.
In my native United States, non-Asians (be) sometimes blamed on social media for wearing qipaos because of (culture)differences, but in China, people have what I consider a more reasonable and open-minded approach: If foreigners wear qipaos, it is seen an attitude of appreciation for Chinese culture.

Yesterday I think of a friend who had been ill recent. So I sent her a text message to comfort for her. In the evening, her mother, strict teacher, called me. My first thought was that she was going to give me a hard time for send her daughter the text message. With my surprise, her mother thanked me for that I had done. She said her daughter was in low spirit because of her illness and that my text message had cheered his daughter up. It was at that moment that I realized the important of a simple text message.
