With summer being the busiest season for most national parks, the potential for meeting with wildlife increases. Visitors should watch out. In fact, incidents because of attacks from the wildlife are rare.【小题1】

Many problems with wildlife can be avoided simply by doing a little research before entering an unfamiliar area.【小题2】 For instance, the American alligator can be found from South Carolina to Florida and to Texas. When you visit parks in those areas, remind yourself not to approach an alligator or get in the water with one.

【小题3】If your actions cause a reaction from the animal, then you’re too close. In general, remain at least 100 yards away from animals like bears and wolves. For other wildlife, 25 yards is usually a good rule.

In addition, one way to prevent dangerous wildlife encounters is to keep your food to yourself. Animals occasionally come to associate humans with food. 【小题4】In fact, even small wildlife animals with a taste for human food can be surprisingly harmful.

When visiting wildlife animals, you need to keep yourself safe.【小题5】 Therefore, you also need to do your part to make sure that those wildlife animals are safe so that other people can enjoy visiting them as well.

The best travel destinations are not only beautiful but also safe, and offer a unique experience. 【小题1】. The following factors will help you pick your next travel destination.

Explore new travel destinations

【小题2】. It would be impossible for you to travel to all of them. One of the best ways to narrow down your choices is by looking at new places that have caught your interest recently. And ensure that you have never been there before. If you are an adventurous traveler, explore remote and less popular destinations that offer unique experiences.

【小题3】

When choosing your next travel destination, visa requirements can be a game-changer. You don’t want to go through the hassle (麻烦) of applying for a visa only to find out that getting one is not possible. Some countries offer visa-free entry or visas on arrival for certain nationalities. That’s something to consider when making your decision.

Think of your travel budget

That’s probably the most important factor when choosing a holiday destination. You need to ensure that your chosen destination is within your budget. But don’t worry; there are plenty of affordable places to travel to. Southeast Asia, for example, is very budget-friendly. 【小题4】.

Consider the mode of travel

That might not be important for some of you, but it is for some people who try to avoid flying, sailing, or bus as much as possible due to fear of heights, enclosed spaces, or motion sickness. And that’s completely understandable. 【小题5】. If you have any fear or simply don’t like certain types of transportation, ensure to factor that in when making your decision.

Ways to build strong friendships

Be loyal to a friend. Part of being a friend is being prepared to devote your time and energy to helping out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on, be there for them. 【小题1】 This is a good way to attract the kind of friends you want in your life.

【小题2】   When you say you’ll do something, do it. When your friend tells you a secret, keep it secret from others. Be someone that people know that they can rely on. If you show this quality to your friends, they will appreciate it and will be reliable in return.

Be a good listener. Many people think they have to appear very interesting. 【小题3】   Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them, ask questions about their interests, and take the time to learn more about them.

Stress your good qualities. Show others what makes you stand apart from the crowd. Talk about your interests and hobbies. Everyone has interesting stories to tell — don’t be afraid to share yours. 【小题4】 People love to be around someone who makes them laugh.

Choose your friends wisely. As you make friends with more people, you may find that some are hard to get along with. Sometimes you may even realize that certain friendships are unhealthy. 【小题5】 Cherish those friends who are a positive influence in your life, and do your best to be a positive influence in theirs.
