• 1．If you really want to enjoy what Bermuda has to offer，cruising （乘船游覽） there is the way to go.Not only is it fun，it is also affordable.It's advisable to come in summer （Mid May-August）．
     BOOKING YOUR CRUISE
     Most tourists prefer small cruise lines that dock in downtown Hamilton.It's an ideal destination since it's right on Front Street，from where you can easily get to Hamilton，the capital of Bermuda，and other parts of the island.Large cruise lines dock at Royal Navy Dockyard，which is inconveniently situated at the far western end of the Island.
     TRANSPORTATION
     Getting off a small cruise，you can easily go to Hamilton and other places by bus.From Royal Navy Dockyard，you can take a bus，a taxi or a boat.The most saving way of travelling around is by buying a day's pass.You will enjoy unlimited transportation services using any public means.
     ATTRACTIONS
     The Bermuda Caves （洞穴）
     This is a popular attraction that you have to tour.Anyone who loves to explore caves will definitely enjoy this place.You'd better wear sports shoes as some caves are a bit wet and slippery.
     Beaches of Bermuda
     Your trip to Bermuda is surely incomplete without spending some time at the amazing pink-sand beaches.Try Tobacco Bay and Horseshoe Bay，which are suitable for family visits.Bermuda is the world's most famous shipwreck （沉船） site.If you're a good diver，there are too many shipwrecks waiting to be discovered.
     Sea Glass
     If you want to pass time doing something for fun，head straight to the Alexander battery beach to collect lots of sea glass.

• 2．Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family.When she was young，she took lessons in music and drawing，and read great books.She also travelled a great deal with her mother and father.
     As a child，she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure.She enjoyed helping them.
  At last，her mind was made up."I'm going to be a nurse，" she decided.
     "Nursing isn't the right work for a lady，" her father told her.
     "Then I will make it so，" she smiled.And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France.When she returned to England，F(xiàn)lorence started a nursing home for women.
     During the Crimean War in 1854，she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospital.What they saw there was terrible.Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled.The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital，either.But the brave nurses went to work.
     Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes，beds，medicines and food for the men.Her only pay was the smiles from the lips of dying soldiers.But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
     After war，she returned to England and was honoured for her service by Queen Victoria.But Florence said that her work had just begun.She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London.She also wrote a book on public health，which was printed in several countries.
     Florence Nightingale passed away at the age of ninety，still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse.Indeed，it is because of her that we honour nurses today.
