The world is full of beauty in every corner. Here are four world's top breathtaking and beautiful travelling destinations for you to pay a visit to.

Dominica

Dominica is known as “nature island” for a reason. This tiny Caribbean state, focuses on hot springs and long-distance walking in the rainforest rather than playing on the beach. Boiling Lake, in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, can be reached by mountainous paths, a body of water that is well worth a visit.

Lake Bled, Slovenia

Lake Bled is one of the largest freshwater lakes on Earth. At its center lies a small island, surrounded by deep blue water. It's no surprise that Lake Bled has developed into one of the hottest destinations in Europe in recent years. Suitable for walking and diving adventures, this is a corner of Slovenia that needs to be explored.

Samburu, Kenya

As a hard-to-reach place in the heart of Kenya, Samburu provides a quiet and safe environment, which is good enough for some of Africa's most unique wildlife to live in. The rich grassland of its national nature protection area is home to the endangered giraffe, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.

Positano, Italy

Located on Italy's Amalfi Coast, Positano is one of the most beautiful villages in Europe. Famous for its special small gift  shops and waterside restaurants, not to mention the Byzantine Church, it makes for the perfect summer getaway. For divers,  with its colorful plants and fish, it's a really perfect place. Make sure to see its full form by taking a boat out from the beach for excellent sunset views.

Skipping breakfast in childhood may raise the risk of diabetes（糖尿病） in later life, scientists claim. British research suggests youngsters who do not eat the morning meal every day may be increasing their chances of developing type 2 diabetes as they get older.

A study by scientists at the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, the University of Glasgow and St George's University of London found children who missed breakfast were more likely to be insulin-resistant（抗胰岛素的） key factor in the disease. The study, published last night in the journal PLoS Medicine, concluded that the observed associations suggest that regular breakfast consumption, particularly involving consumption of a high-fiber cereal（谷类食物）, could protect against the early development of type 2 diabetes risk. Lead researcher Dr Angela Donin said the study had not directly established why skipping the meal raises the risk of diabetes. But she said it may be because those who do not have a healthy breakfast are more likely to snack on fatty foods later. Eating cereals also provides a source of fiber, which has been shown to protect against the disease.

Dr Donin said, “There is evidence that if you skip breakfast you are more likely to be overweight. This could be explained by your eating patterns for the rest of the day. If you have not eaten breakfast, you are more likely to snack. So eating breakfast every day could reduce the snacking behavior for the rest of the day. ”

It is very obvious that giving your child a healthy breakfast, as part of a balanced diet, can have a range of benefits for health and well-being. However, more research will be needed to help us understand the exact link between eating breakfast and the development of type 2 diabetes, including studies that follow children through to adulthood to see how many young people with these warning signs go on to develop the condition.

4. What does the study suggest?

A. Many people are suffering from diabetes.

B. Eating cereals do people no good.

C. Healthy breakfast may help avoid diabetes.

D. It is easy for children to develop diabetes.

5. What are the children who don't have breakfast most likely to do according to Dr Donin?

A. To eat more for lunch. B. To have more unhealthy foods.

C. To enjoy more high-fiber cereals. D. To be sleepy in class at school.

6. Why will the scientists plan to carry out more research?

A. To find out the types of diabetes.

B. To find out the benefits of having breakfast.

C. To find out the warning signs for young people.

D. To find out the connection between breakfast and diabetes.

7. Where does this text most probably come from?

A. A health report. B. A scientific paper.

C. An experimental plan. D. A food advertisement.
