Ocean Shores and Long Beach Peninsula shoreline are famous for where people can drive on the beach. The beach sand is hard enough for even regular cars to drive on the beach. Sometimes, I saw cars that drove on the soft sand spots and struggled to get out. So 4-wheel drive cars would be perfect to drive on the beach at Ocean Shores. Driving on the beach while hugging the ocean is an absolutely unique experience!
Driving on Ocean Shore beach felt endless-as long as the Long Beach Peninsula.
Here are some driving rules for Ocean Shores’ beach:
----The speed limit is 25 mph, and extra caution must be taken for other vehicles, pedestrians, sunbathers.
---- No driving in the surf or on the dune grass, and no showing driving.
---- All vehicles on the beach must have a valid registration, and anyone driving on the beach must have a valid driver's license.
---- The helmet law applies, and no driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is permitted.
---- Reckless or careless driving is not tolerated and can result in expensive tickets and even license suspension.
---- Parking is allowed.
Besides driving on the beach, visitors can enjoy beach-combing (赶海), building a beach fire or horseback riding.
With more than 6 miles (10 km) wide of sandy beaches, families can enter sandcastle competitions, dig for clams or fly kites. They can even catch sight of a pod of gray whales in early spring. People come from all over to enter the annual stunt kite challenge in June, which also has free flying lessons.
Besides driving, visitors can explore the beach by riding on horseback, cruising on a bike or moped or just old-fashioned walking. Many of the local beach houses are available to rent throughout the year. Besides the beach, the local area offers golfing, bowling, go-kart racing and several souvenir shops.
Even the entrance of Ocean Shores is definitely different than other coastal cities, Ocean Shores is much more developed as a resort town, so there were many stores, restaurants and souvenir shops, even from the entrance. So it is a fun place even from the start!
58. Why can people drive their cars on the beach?
A. Because there is dune grass on the beach.
B. Because there are special paths on the beach for cars.
C. Because the beach sand is firm enough for cars to run on.
D. Because the beach is as long as the Long Beach Peninsula.
59. What is likely to happen to a person when driving carelessly?
A. He will get a ticket for Ocean Shores.
B. He will get into prison.
C. His driving license will be lost.

You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of bystanders, it was found that some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.
“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed,” says Ervin Staub, a psychologist at the university of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders. “The first thoughts that come into your mind often keep you from offering help.”
Time and again, good and caring people fail to come to the aid of others. They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves don’t understand, people sometimes don’t respond. Longtime researchers of bystander behaviour continue to struggle with the question, “why”?
One thing we do know is that the more ambiguous a situation, the less likely people are to help. Let’s say you see vapors (水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam or smoke?” If you are not sure, you look to other people for a clue about how to act. If you see other people are doing nothing, you think, “Of course, that’s just steam.” You don’t want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.
Another one is known as “the bystander effect”. The psychologist says that the more people there are observing an emergency, the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if your are one of 100,000 people who would save the situation, you would be happier if one of other 99,999 people did it.
 “If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking on,” says Ervin Staub. Then try to involve other people; you don’t
