Runswick Bay, North Yorkshir

It is a popular destination for rock poolers, walkers and hunters. Many of the homes are now holiday accommodations, linked by paths and walkways rather than streets. The Royal Hotel, at the heart of the village, offers homemade cakes and coffee alongside a simple but tasty bar menu and local Black Sheep bitter on draft.

Stay inCastle House(sleeps six, three nights from 500) at the top of the village; has sweeping views of the bay from a comfortable window seat.

South Shore, Brownsea Island, Dorset

Reached by ferry from the moneyed shores of Sandbanks, Brownsea Island is a pocket of safe wilderness in Poole harbour. Famous for its red squirrel population and as the site of Baden-Powell’s first Scout camp, its mixture of woodland, wildland, and ponds suits a day of exploration and adventure. Push yourself into the sandy banks and enjoy views across the harbour in the company of various sea birds.

Stayin National Trust-ownedCustom Houseon the seaport (sleeps four, three nights from 622); offers a real Brownsea experience.

Kingsgate Bay, Broadstairs, Kent

The lack of a convenient car park means that Kingsgate Bay, between Margate and Broadstairs, is quieter than other beaches on the Thanet coast. A short walk from the car park at neighboring Joss Bay (popular with surfers), however, will take you to this sheltered sandy bay with its sea caves. It is also a safe place to swim and canoe.

Stay intheBotany Bay Hotel(family rooms from 80 B&B); has some dog-friendly rooms.

New Year’s Resolutions (决心)

It’s January 1, the day when many people around the world announce their New Year’s resolutions. In theory, a new year should be the time when people change their habits. In 【1】, it doesn’t work that way.

There are some advantages to choosing January 1 to start new habits. For one thing, it comes right after several holidays. And for many people, holidays are 【2】with food, often food that isn’t very healthy. After a month or so of lots of eating, people begin to realize that they need to 【3】. It’s no wonder that losing weight is one of the most 【4】resolutions every year!

While many people’s 【5】to change is real, most New Year’s resolutions don’t last all year, or even all month. One survey indicated that the average resolution only lasts three and a half weeks! For many, an honest resolution might be: “I will eat healthy food until I start longing for dessert, and then I’ll go back to eating 【6】.”

One common problem with New Year’s resolutions is that they aren’t specific enough. Maybe you 【7】to eat healthier or be friendlier. But if you don’t have a plan, how will you know if you’ve reached your goal? Generally, resolutions tend to fade (渐弱) out of your 【8】. They’ll

return again the next year when you start 【9】about resolutions again.

Resolutions often 【10】, but don’t be discouraged. If there’s something you want to change about your life, it won’t hurt to try. And if you fail now, don’t worry. Lunar New year is right around the corner!

Good morning, everyone!

Nowadays, topics concerned with health are always drawing our attention. As is knew to all, health is the most important thing in the world. But how can we keep health? My views are as follow.

Firstly, eat in a proper way. It's good for us to eat which are rich in vitamins and minerals every day, that was, some fresh vegetables and fruit. And breakfast is necessary, that gives us energy for the morning. Secondly, exercise regularly. Exercise can benefit physically and mentally. Thirdly, get enough sleep. Stay up late is bad for our health. Go to bed early and we will feel refreshed in next morning.

Last and not least, enjoy the time with our friends and family.

That's all.Thank you!

However, a new research shows 61 percent of the 356 species of turtles are already threatened or no longer exist. The destruction of their homes, disease, climate change and other reasons have caused their population to drop sharply. In a new study published in the journal BioScience, a team of scientists from various institutions claims that turtles are one of the most threatened among the major vertebrate(脊椎动物) groups.

This could, the authors say, have serious consequences for the ecology. Turtles contribute to the health of many environments, including desert, wetland, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and the decline may lead to bad effects on other species, including humans, they explain. Whit Gibbons, seruor author and professor at the Utuversity of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, says in a statement that the intention of the study is to inform people about the vital ecological roles of turtles.

One of the important qualities of turtles is how diverse they are when it comes to food. This allows them to have a major impact on food webs of their homes all over the world. In some areas, the density(密度) of the turtle population makes them an important part of the ecosystem. With their gathering, other species that feed on them and their eggs are sure to have a large pool of food.

For plants, turtles are also extremely important as they distribute the seeds of many plant species. When they eat some seeds are not destroyed by the digestive process and instead make their way out of the animals' body. Some turtles are the main dispersal(传播 ) agents of certain plants and their seeds.

These are only a few yet very vital roles that turtles play in the ecological landscape. Unfortunately, many species are in serious decline and in danger of disappearing completely.
