Hawaii is famous for its beautiful beaches. Every year water sports, especially surfing and water skiing attract many tourists to the island.

Hawaii has been a magical name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean(太平洋) in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. In the tropcal(热带的) lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire intthe sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow (落日余晖) that lights the sky in the quiet water.

People often have a quiet, enjoyable time walking along the beaches. This scenery here is not very different from the exciting beauty that greeted the first tourists to these islands centuries ago. They came in canoes not much bigger than small boats.

They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees(棕榈树) , but there were no grand hotels like the ones we see today. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two housand years ago, but skyscraper(摩天大楼) hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now planes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco.

No matter where people come from, they really want to see the earliest beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains which are almost hidden by the tall hotels.

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or sit in them.

It's always a good idea to wear your seat belt(安全带) when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.

Now, think what will happen if you tie the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.

Volvo, a famous Swedish car maker, made the seat belts widely used in the 1950s.

Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.

It's cool, it's hot, and everyone is doing it. People talk about it often, and friends tell other friends how good they look. Sound like a fashion? It's actually another trend(趋势):"blog". What's a blog? A blog is a personal online diary. The word "blogger" means a person who writes diaries online.

Many bloggers are teenagers who've been logging onto(进入) some sites to discuss everything in their lives. Many of today's teenagers are not afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives. Teens complain about parents and homework. They share diaries, post songs from the latest bands and show their pictures. They write their own poems, say something about their girlfriends or boyfriends and complain to each other or offer support. But mostly they just write down what they do every day.

However, many parents are worried about these young bloggers. Parents see the kids talking about how they got drunk last weekend and how they don't like studies. They are using language that is surprising to their parents. Besides hearing from their friends, teenage bloggers also get messages from strangers. Most of the time, it's older men that ask to meet teenage girls. "These strange men are dangerous for my kids. They sometimes teach my kids bad words," said Cara Cabral, a mother of two.

Many teenagers and young adults know it's not safe to use blogs on the Internet. They know they are putting information about themselves in a place where they can be seen by anyone. But teenagers are unlikely to give up this new communication tool that has become a way of life for many of them.
