With Memorial Day and summer right around the corner, you're bound to feel a serious case of wanderlust coming on． Whether you want to travel the world or just squeeze in a weekend getaway to your nearest National Park, camping is always the answer． Whatever you've got in mind, we've rounded up a selection of the world's most beautiful camping spots to get you started． Yosemite National Park, California
Ninety﹣five percent of Yosemite National Park is set apart for wilderness? which means no cars, no
buildings, and no electricity． Sleep under the stars and hike up to Glacier Point for a view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls． Make sure you store your food properly though﹣black bears are common! Boya Lake Provincial Park, Canada
Boya Lake Provincial Park, known for the color and clarity of its lake, is a great place to enjoy any type of water recreation． The lake is also one of the few in the north that's warm enough for swimming． The area was carved out by glaciers, leaving many islands and lakes behind for modern campers to explore on the park's hiking trails． Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica

If you've always dreamed of safaris （野外观兽旅行）, Maasai Mara is the place to go． The ideal time to visit this large game reserve is between July and October, when you can witness the annual migration （迁徙） of Thomson's gazelle, zebra, and wildebeest to and from the neighbouring Serengeti, in Tanzania． Camp on the banks of the Mara River and hang out with the local Maasai people, well﹣known for their distinctive customs and dress．

2. In mid﹣January, Cape Town officials announced that the world﹣class South African city of four million
residents would run out of water on April 12． The date, nicknamed \times, thanks to the intense conservation efforts by locals, a sharp reduction in agricultural water usage f and a 10 billion﹣liter donation from the private reservoirs （水库） of the Groenland Farmers Association． The city how has enough water to keep up the current level of usage until July 9, giving residents hope that the rainy
season, which begins in June, will be more regular than has been the case lately．
Four years ago, Cape Town's water trouble would have seemed improbable given that the city's six dams, which can hold 230 billion liters of water, were filled to the top edge． However, three years of low rainfall ﹣ a third of normal levels ﹣and the ever﹣increasing population, have reduced the overflowing dams to puddles （水坑）． In an attempt to avoid Day Zero, when water levels will drop to 13.5 percent capacity, the government has
introduced a strict 50﹣liter daily limit for all households． Residents are being urged to reduce their water usage by making small changes like taking shorter showers, washing hands with sanitizers （消毒剂）, and reusing bathing water to flush toilets． Those that use more have to pay fines．
Should Day Zero strike, a million homes, or about 75 percent of the city, will lose access to running
water． Residents will instead have to wait in line at the over 200 water distribution centers established around the city to obtain their reduced quota （定量） of 25 liters a day． \（超过） anything a major city has had to face anywhere in the world since the Second World War or 9/11, \Cape Premier Helen Zille．
The World Wildlife Fund estimates that two﹣thirds of the globe could be facing water shortages similar to Cape Town's by 2025 due to climate change﹣induced droughts and growing urban populations． It
is, therefore, important for all of us to help avoid Day Zero in our town or city with small lifestyle changes like planting drought﹣resistant shrubs （灌木）, taking shorter showers and turning off taps when brushing teeth．

3. LONDON ﹣ Dogs produce more facial expressions when humans are looking at them, according to a new research from the University of Portsmouth．
Scientists at the University's Dog Cognition Centre are the first to find clear evidence that dogs move their faces in direct response to human attention． Dogs don't respond with more facial expressions upon seeing tasty
food, suggesting that dogs produce facial expressions to communicate and not just because they are excited．
Dog cognition expert Dr Juliane Kaminski led the study． She said, \of facial expressions made by dogs is dependent on the attention state of their audience and is not just a result of dogs being excited． In our study they produced far more expressions when someone was watching, but seeing food treats did not have the same effect．\
Dr Kaminski said it's possible dogs' facial expressions have changed as part of the process of becoming
________． \﹣they have lived alongside humans for 30, 000years and during that time selection pressures seem to have acted on dogs' ability to communicate with us, \． \﹣in a previous study we found, for
example, that dogs stole food more often when the human's eyes were closed or they had their back turned． In another study, we found dogs follow the gaze of a human if the human first establishes eye contact with the dog, so the dog knows the gaze﹣shift is directed at them, \． Kaminski said, %understand about dog cognition． We now know dogs make more facial expressions when the human is paying attention．\
It is impossible yet to say whether dog's behaviour in this and other studies is evidence that dogs have flexible understanding of another individual's perspective ﹣ that they truly understand another individual's mental state﹣or if their behaviour is inborn or even a learned response to seeing the face or eyes of another individual．

National Museum/Ny Garlsberg Glyptotek, and the Museum of Art and Design to your travel itinerary （旅行日程）． If you are a beer lover, you can enjoy learning about the brewing process and tasting some samples at the Carlsberg Museum． And fashionistas will enjoy taking a wander down Stroget to browse designer
goods, jewelry, and china． For a unique take on the standard museum experience, make a point to visit the Experimentarium and Museum Erotica during your stay． If you visit between June and August, it might be warm enough to take a swim at Copencabana on Vesterbro or Havnebadet at Island Brygge on Amager．
Kastrup Airport is how most visitors arrive to Copenhagen by plane, and it typically takes less than 15minutes to get from the airport to the city center by mainline train． Public transportation is easily accessible from the Central Station and Norreport Station, which are hubs （中心） for intercity trains and buses． Canal boat tours are the easiest way to see the city's attractions． Cycling is the fastest and most flexible way to get around, and it's a
