The National Beekeeping Centre Wales is a free attraction in the countryside that teaches children about the importance of honeybees – with the chance to try lots of local honeys.
This friendly visitor centre is a supporter of Welsh honeybees, which are increasingly under threat from climate change and loss of wildflower meadows. It raises visitors’ awareness of environmental issues and shows the 4,000-year history of beekeeping and honey-making, from the ancient Egyptians to the Romans. A Hive (蜂巢) Aid scheme lets you adopt a beehive, and regular courses (from £60 per person) train new generations of beekeepers.
Fun fact
Bees pollinate (授粉) about a third of everything we eat and play an important role in sustaining our ecosystems. In economic terms, honeybee pollination could be worth up to £200m to the UK alone.
What about lunch?
Next door is the Furnace Tearoom, part of the Bodnant Welsh Food Centre, which serves light bites – wraps (卷饼), fruit salads (£7) and coffee. And the nearby Pavilion Restaurant at the National Trust’s Bodnant Garden has cooked food, including baked potatoes (£5) and daily specials such as local casseroles (焙盘) with bread rolls (£6), plus coffee and cakes.
Exit through the gift shop
There is a range of bee-themed gifts in our gift shop, including bee toys (£2), wooden honey candy (£2) and a selection of honeys all made by Welsh producers (£5). The bestselling Bodnant honey (£8) goes fast.
Getting here
We are located just off the A470 on the Bodnant Estate in the Conwy Valley, and 10 minutes from the A55 north Wales coast road. Follow the brown signs just after Bodnant Gardens.
Value for money
Visits and activities for kids are free, though donations are welcome. Taster days (from £60) and the weekend beekeeping course (£80 per person) are held at Abergwyngregyn village, 10 miles west down the A55.
Opening hours
The Visitor Centre opens daily from 10 am-4 pm but it is volunteer-run, so phone ahead to check. Expect lots of fun activities around the annual Conwy Honey Fair.

One Utah mom is facing charges after she left her 8-year- old son with special needs at Jordan Valley Medical Center, claiming she was tired of his calling her names and pulling his pants down in public.
Sherrer, 36, who has three other kids （also with special needs）, said she was making use of Utah's Safe Haven law: parents can drop off a baby up to three days anonymously（匿名地） at a hospital with no questions asked or consequences.
"I thought that it was okay that we could drop them off and it was a safe place," Sherrer said, according to KSL News. "I don't think I'm necessarily a bad mother. I got more like overwhelmed （不知所措的）. I wasn't sure about the Safe Haven laws or what it meant... I really did not know any other way to go about it."

I do not want him in my house at all!” Hospital authorities called police and the boy was then taken into a protective organization.
"You are forbidden to drop children off at certain places," said Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. "You can contact related organizations, which share your burden, there's an understanding. Everybody understands what everyone's role is. But you don't simply say, "I've had enough and I'm going to drop off this child and no one knows who I am"
Sherrer was charged with child abandonment, a third-degree felony （罪行）,and child abuse, and her son is still being cared for by social services.

The World Health Organization recently said that it planned to add gaming disorder to its new list of disease classifications, angering the gaming industry but pleasing doctors who hope it may make treatment more easily available.
Some US experts said it would make little difference when it comes to helping people with the disorder, although others said it would bring attention to a disorder that people sometimes don’t recognize.
Many of us enjoy video games, but does playing our favorite game for a couple of hours every night mean we’re suffering from gaming disorder? Not according to the WHO.
The symptoms listed by the WHO include a lack of control over gaming, treating gaming more seriously than other life interests and daily activities, and continuing to play games despite the negative consequences that playing them might have.
“The behavior pattern is enough to result in significant damage to one’s personal, family, or social life, the WHO said.
Meanwhile, Douglas Gentile of Iowa State University has carried out influential research into the cause of gaming addiction in young people.
“I and many others had assumed that gaming is not really a problem but is a symptom of other problems,” he told NBC News. Many had thought it was simply a failure of self-control.
To see if it was, Gentile’s team studied a group of children who had been gaming for several years.
“We found that when kids became addicted, their anxiety increased … and their grades decreased,” Gentile said.
When kids were able to back off from gaming, their symptoms disappeared, he added.
Gentile thinks medical organizations should pay attention to the WHO’s proposal.
“This isn’t an issue of opinion; it’s an issue of science,” he said.
“This is a major scientific and medical organization. They don’t do things lightly and without reason.”
Dr Petros Levounis, chair of psychiatry (精神病学) at the New Jersey Medical School at Rutgers University, said that he hoped the WHO’ s proposal would lead to more research into obsessive behavior among all types of people.
“Now, there is renewed interest and excitement,” he said.
8. Which of the following is a sign of gaming disorder according to the WHO?
A. Putting games before everything else.
B. Playing games for several hours every night.
C. Having no hobbies but playing games.
D. Keeping playing until winning the games.
9. Why is Gentile’s research mentioned?
A. To explain the cause of gaming addiction.
B. To show the impact of gaming disorder.
C. To show the reasons behind the WHO’s decision.
D. To introduce the study that influenced the WHO’s proposal.
10. What did Levounis think of the WHO’s decision?
A. It needed further research to make it more convincing.
B. It would do little to help people with gaming addiction.
C. It would encourage new cures for gaming disorder.
D. It would encourage studies about diseases similar to gaming disorder.
11. What’s the article mainly about?
A. The WHO defining gaming disorder.
B. New research findings about gaming disorder.
C. The benefits of defining gaming as a disease.
D. The discussions about defining gaming disorder as a disease.
D
People feel good about recycling, maybe even more so when it comes to electronics. While electronics recycling isn't bad, making it a panacea(万能药) for the e-waste problem we currently have certainly is. Unfortunately, that's how we think of recycling — and companies to jump on that trend to appear more “green”.
A case in point: Apple. In 2016, there was lots of report on Liam, a robot able to dismantle(拆卸) an iPhone in just 11 seconds — a good way to recycle 1.2 million units a year. That sounds amazing until you take into account the fact that Apple had actually sold 231 million new iPhones the year before. Liam, actually, is the perfect symbol for recycling in the field of high-tech: a drop of green water in an ocean of pollution.
According to a recent UN report, the US produces about 6.3 million tons or 14% of the world's electronic waste. Worldwide, almost 45 million tons of electronic waste were produced in 2016. Among them, only 20% had been recycled in some shape or form. The remaining 80% made its way to a more environmentally damaging end at the landfill(垃圾填埋场).
Of course, we can say it's time to double our recycling efforts. However, the huge amount of e-waste is impossible to cope with. The UN report points out that while there is an increased focus on recycling today compared to the past, the effort to reuse used devices simply can't keep pace with the high consumption rates for new devices.
In their environmental responsibility report, Apple admits that 77% of the carbon footprint of their electronics comes from their manufacture, versus(相对于) 17% comes from its actual use. The environmental effect of replacing a device, even if it is recycled after, remains significant.
12．Which of the following can best describe Liam?
A．It's useful but can't make a big difference.
B．It's energy-saving but too expensive.
C．It's well-made but won't become popular.
D．It's advanced but impractical.
13．What caused the e-waste recycling problem?
A．Few high-tech companies.
B．Not enough recycling efforts.
C．High demand for new electronics.
D．Difficult recycling processes.
14．What does the author think of the electronics recycling?
A．It is very effective.
B．It is quite good.
C．It is environmentally damaging.
D．It is far from “green” recycling.
15．What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Recent UN Report on E-Waste Problem
B．The Limitation of Electronics Recycling
C．A Good Way to Cope With E-Waste
D．The Responsibility for Apple to Decrease E-Waste

When we meet the homeless, most of us might avoid eye contact and walk a little faster. 16 What's his or her story? How long have they lived on the streets? Maybe you even wanted to help, but didn't know how to start a conversation. Then the following might help you.
17 Is there another way I can help?
This is an especially good thing to say if you're uncomfortable handing over cash or don't have any to offer. Undoubtedly, money is something that a homeless person needs, but often there is a specific thing that can quickly help that person out of a terrible situation.
Did you catch the game?
18 Talking about sports is a good idea. While there is a game, bring it up like talking about the weather — sports is a topic of conversation that you don't have to be of a certain class to experience.
Good morning.
Say “hi” or “hello” or try to acknowledge the person in some way. 19 Regardless of what your greeting may be, it's important to look the person in the eye when speaking. According to the homeless, one of the many difficult things about being homeless is that you feel less than human.
How are you doing? Would you like to talk?
These questions are great because they're open-ended. Don't be surprised if people are not interested in chatting, though. You're getting into their personal lives. 20 If, however, the person is open to talking, this can lead to a real conversation — and maybe even provide a way for you to offer help.
A．I don't have any money.
B．It's good to hear kindness.
C．But you might also think about the situation.
D．Maybe they don't want to discuss that with a stranger.
E.Athletic events are often shown on televisions on the streets.
F.The non-homeless person almost never looks the homeless in the eye.
G.Offering a wish of good will can be a powerful thing to the homeless.
