Can you tell me how I can get there? We are planning to swim and play beach volleyball on the weekend. How far do you live from the beach? Can you join us? I know you walk to work.

A forest fire that burned 55 square kilometers was finally brought under control on Wednesday morning. The fire started on Sunday in Black Bear State Park and quickly spread to nearby areas.
On Monday, police evacuated (疏散) the small town of Lawson and asked the people to leave their homes. The fire destroyed 20 homes in the area and caused heavy damage (损坏) to 40 others.
Nobody was hurt. Officials said the damage to homes and cars was between $l million and $2 million. The fire spread quickly in the hot, dry weather. Firefighting was difficult because of strong winds. Firemen from 55 fire departments in the state joined the National Fire Service to put out the fire. Some kept fighting for 24 hours. Fire engines (消防车) and helicopters (直升机) dropped water onto the fire. In order to control the fire, firemen cleared a way around the fire.
Police closed King Road to traffic on Tuesday because of heavy smoke. Thousands of tourists had to drive an hour north to Queen Road to pass the fire area. Local police think open fires left by tourists might be the cause of the accident and ask tourists to follow the rules in case such accidents ever happen again.

If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?
Don't listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It's not true at all. More and more young people in the U.S.A. volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don't do it for money. Here are some of their stories.
Alice, 17 I'm going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths in the mountains. It's going to be terrific(极好的). I'll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I'm going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, and I'll be able to do something good at the same time. |
Jason, 18 This summer, I'm going to be a volunteer. I'm going to the Special House Program. They can build good, low-cost(低成本)houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They'll teach me what to do, so I'll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses. |
Rita, 19 I'm going to teach kids who have trouble in reading. I'll work for a program called Reading for Life. Every day, I'm going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher, and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me. |
