The World's Deadliest Beaches Dangerous sea creatures, big waves, and air pollution are just some of the many things you need to take caution to when visiting the world's deadliest beaches.

Cape Tribulation, Australia

Cape Tribulation is said to be unsafe due to its huge amount of dangerous animals. There are tons of jellyfish and it is not safe to swim near the mouths of the rivers because of crocodile warnings. Poisonous (有毒的) snakes and cassowaries have also been found. According to The Cairns Post, a 46-year-old woman is believed to have been taken by a crocodile while swimming at Thornton beach, a beach in Cape Tribulation.

Gansbaai, South Africa

Also called "Shark Alley", this beach is known as the world of the great white sharks. It is so filled with sharks that they have actually created shark tours for tourists. The locals claim that visitors have a 99 percent chance of seeing a great white shark from April to September. In 2011 a man going diving was attacked by two sharks. His body never returned to the surface.

Nazare, Portugal

Also known as "Portugal's Monster", Nazare is a wonderful vacation destination with some of the biggest and deadliest waves ever surfed. "In Nazare," a Hawaiian surfer told Time, "the ocean is known as a place of death, not of riding waves." Nazare's waves are created much larger due to the Nazare Canyon. They are so dangerous that big-wave surfer Maya Gabeira was nearly killed during a wipeout in 2013.

Snake Island, Brazil

Snake Island, also known as Ilha de Queimada Grande, is home to "the world's deadliest snake" —the golden lancehead viper. Its poison is said to easily melt human flesh. Access to this island has been banned due to people being killed in the past.

One of the hardest things to do when you are a small child is to start school, and have a new teacher every year. I remember when I was in the fourth grade, there were tons of rumours (谣言) about my teacher. They said that he would hit kids with erasers.Nothing could be farther from the truth, and to this day I still remember him as one of those people who really helped me in life.

One of the things that you can do to help your kids get ready for a new teacher is to go to meet him or her before the year starts. This allows students to know who the teacher is, and break the ice.

It is common for students to be fearful of the teacher for the first few days. Maybe he or she looks scary (可怕的). However, as a parent, you need to teach your kids that teachers are people too, and that they want nothing but the best for students in life.

If your child is still having trouble adjusting to (适应) a teacher, you could ask your child to be taught by a different teacher.

Adjusting to teachers can be an uncertain thing for a young child. Whether your child knows nothing about this person, or maybe he has heard a rumour about him, it can be a scary thing. As a parent, all you can do is to make sure that your children know the teacher is there to help, not be scary.

The elderly residents in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.

The project was dreamed up by a local charity to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's well-being. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.

Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: "I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.

"I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.

"It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful."

There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.

Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first toembark onthe project, said: "Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here."

Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: "We are happy to be participating in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities."

The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there's a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list. New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia (失智症) in later life, and is they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.

Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said: "These findings are exciting because it's possible that improving people's cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia." For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak (最大值的) cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts.

A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems.

These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness.

"However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important." She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were form Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups.

Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of someone you don't know so well. I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my home town when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it dwells in my memory that not only she made delicious cookies but also she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget.

On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the slanted roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof's edge and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星) falling from the sky. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch. At the sound of fractured（断裂破裂的）glass, we knew we were in trouble. We turned tail and ran faster than any of our missiles flew off her roof.

I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence.

I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.
