题目内容

In summer, some people avoid outdoor activities because they don't want to get hot and sticky or sun burnt.Luckily, there are some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat.

River rafting

Hot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match! River rafting can be both scenic and exciting.When the raft follows a gentle stream, the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting.And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster, you feel a rush of adrenaline (肾上腺素).Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving.

Where to find: River rafting trips are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges.

Tips: Wear a helmet and life jacket at all times; bring enough sunscreen; and bring lots of water.

Caving

People say that the only naturally air-conditioned place in summer is a big cave.It is true.Cave tours featuring light shows are old hat.Now it's time to wear a lamp on your helmet like a mineworker to explore caves in darkness.Exploring unknown caverns and navigating underground rivers is what makes caving so thrilling.Plus, caving can be a very healthy sport, for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus.

Where to find: caving can be very risky, so consult local travel agents and go in groups with professional cavers.

Tips: Follow your guides; drink enough water to avoid dehydration(脱水) ; and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots.

Coastal walking/cycling and beach activities

For those who live far away from mountains, coastal regions and beaches are good places to spend time in the summer.With sea breezes in your hair, it is nice to take a hike or cycle ride while enjoying the coastline.If you want to be sportier, try beach games, such as soccer and volleyball.It's a totally different experience from playing on hard courts or grass.

Where to find: Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial beach such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach in Wuhan.

Tips: Loads of sunscreen needed; water and snacks are necessary; be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water.

As children begin to head back to school, there are several things that you can do to make sure that your child stays healthy and performs at their peak potential during the school year.

1. Make sure your child is up to date on their immunizations(免疫). The summer is a good time to schedule visits to the doctor’s as your child is not in school, and the visit won’t require that your child miss school days.

2. Encourage proper nutrition. America faces childhood obesity(肥胖). This means that the percentage of overweight children is increasing each year, and this will place your child at risk of developing a variety of diseases when they are middle age or even young adults. You can start helping your child to become healthier by offering fruits and vegetables at home instead of calorie heavy potato chips and candy.

3. Get your child involved in sports activities. Activities in high school such as track and cross-country are important for socialization for your child, as well as helping to improve their health. You can get your child interested in wholesome activities by discussing with them how you enjoyed similar activities in high school.

4. Have the birds and the bees conversation with your child. Many children become sexually active in junior school and senior high school, and the sooner you discuss sex with your child the sooner they will be prepared. Tell your child that there is always the possibility of infecting a sexual disease when two people have sex; and discuss with your child the use of condoms. The sooner you start having this embarrassing situation the better.

5. Know your child’s friends. You can do this by inviting your child to bring their friends over to your house for a pizza night, or by chatting with them when they stop by your house. If you find your child’s friend has a bad reputation, then you could consider introducing your child to a different network of people, such as through the girl/boy scouts. Forbidding your child from seeing a certain person may only lead them to rebel and become closer to that person.

6. Discuss with your child the seriousness of drug use and abuse. Your child may not realize that using drugs can have serious consequences. Your child may get the false impression that drug use is his right. Explain to a child that saying no to drugs is their right, and that anybody offering them drugs is not their friend.

7. Help your child to avoid a life long smoking addiction by discussing with them the consequences of smoking. The sad fact is that most smokers became addicted when they were in their teenage years, and are unable to quit for long periods of time and often die many years earlier due to their smoking habit which increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and a variety of medical conditions. Even if you are a smoker yourself, you can discuss with your child about how damaging smoking can be on a person’s health.

8. Impress upon your child the importance of traffic rules. Tell them that it is OK to wear a seat belt in anyone’s car, because it may save their life one day. If your child rides a bicycle or a skateboard, then discuss with them the importance of always wearing a helmet. As you child becomes qualified for driver’s permit, you should discuss with them the importance of prevention from drinking and driving.

9. Be cautious about signs of depression in childhood. A surprisingly large number of children may become depressed, and a small number of teenagers and children commit suicide(自杀) each year. Realize that any signs of unusual depressed mood, angry outbursts, suicidal comments, feelings of hopelessness, and loss of enjoyment of activities with friends may be signs of depression.
