Famous for its sunny beaches and natural wonders, Miyako Island welcomes many visitors during holidays.

Scuba diving

Miyako Island is for diving(潜水), with a wealth of dive sites to explore, including many underwater caves. Even those without a diving license can have a try. Dive shops and tour operators also offer tours for beginners to explore Miyako Island’s underwater environment.

Snorkeling(浮潜)

Snorkeling is a must-try in Miyako Island. Plenty of space to dive close to the shore is a standout feature. For beginners, Aragusuku and Shigira are a good choice but advanced snorkelers may see Imgyo Marine Garden, Waiwai Beach and Shimojishima as their favorite spots.

The bridges

Irabu Bridge is the longest toll-free bridge in Japan. It connects Miyako Island and Irabujima, stretching for 3540m. Smaller bridges connect Irabu and Shimoji islands, giving visitors additional beach options. On Shimoji Island, there is a boardwalk around Tooriike and two dramatic marine ponds connected to each other.

Unique beaches

Yonaha Maehama Beach is the most famous beach in Miyako Island, where white sand stretches for seven kilometers. Sunayama Beach, known for its arch-shaped rock, is hidden in a small cove(湾), and one has to walk through lines of trees to get there.

It’s difficult to determine whether social media is safe enough for children’s mental health, according to a new report from Dr. Vivek Murthy.

Although there are some benefits, social media use brings “a great risk of harm” to kids. “We’re in the middle of a youth mental health crisis, and I’m concerned that technology companies are contributing to it,” Dr. Murthy said.

“It is generally believed that parents and kids should be responsible for managing social media, despite the fact that these platforms are designed to increase the amount of time that our kids spend on them,” he said. “So that is not a fair fight. It’s time for us to support parents and kids.”

Up to 95% of kids aged 13 to 17 report using social media, with more than a third saying they use it “frequently”. And although 13 is commonly the minimum(最小的) age to use social media sites in the US, the report notes that nearly 40% of kids aged 8 to 12 use the platforms, as well.

One study of 6,595 US adolescents between ages 12 and 15 found that those who spent more than three hours a day on social media had twice the risk of symptoms(症状) of depression and anxiety as non-users, the report notes. It also cites(引用) studies that found reducing social media use led to improvements in mental health.

Murthy says he hopes the report will encourage measures before it is too late. “Independent researchers tell us that they have a hard time getting the information they need from technology companies about the health effects on kids,” he said. “Social media companies should be responsible for protecting children as other industries are. As to other products that kids use, we take the approach of safety first. We need to do it here, too.”

24. What causes children’s mental problems according to Murthy?

A. Risk of addiction.  B. Parents’ management.

C. Technology companies. D. Children’s learning stress.

25. How does the author prove the children’s heavy use of social media?

A. By listing data. B. By providing facts. C. By giving examples. D. By explaining causes.

26. What is the report based on?

A. Public opinions. B. Previous studies. C. Field observation. D. Family relationships.

27. What does Muthy want to stress in the last paragraph?

A. Health effects of social media on kids. B. Safely for kids concerning all products.

C. Immediate action to protect the children. D. Difficulty in getting the needed information.

C

When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to console my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I told her not to let someone else’s criticisms influence her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance.

When I became a mom, I was afraid that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might skew(歪曲) her idea of self-worth I wanted to protect her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards set by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to protect her little heart from being broken by the thought that she didn't live up to the standards in some way.

How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids tend to copy what adults do and say, so be careful. If we are putting ourselves down, our kids will follow in our footsteps. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked and talk to them about how it makes them feel.

It’s a hard thing for parents to teach children to be confident in their own skin and to pay more attention to their inner beauty than outward appearance. It’s also worthy of note that there’s nothing wrong with telling your kids they are beautiful. I tell my kids that they’re beautiful all the time. Hopefully, in doing so, they’ll begin to understand that there’s so much more to them than just their shells.

28. What does the underlined word “console” probably mean in paragraph 1?

A. Influence. B. Comfort. C. Accompany. D. Criticize.

29.What does the author try to express in paragraph 2?

A. Her expectation for her daughter's future. B. Her concerns about her daughter’s growth.

C. Her hope to protect her kid from falling ill. D. Her attempts to keep her daughter energetic.

30. How should we educate our kids about self-worth according to the author?

A. By delivering a speech to them. B. By sharing our ideas with them.

C. By accepting all their decisions. D. By setting a good example to them.

31. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?

A. Encourage kids to ignore the outer beauty.

B. Avoid praising the appearance of our children.

C. Teach our kids the significance of inner beauty.

D. Try to listen to our children as much as possible.

D

Enthusiastic travelers may have already heard of “regenerative tourism” along with the idea of sustainability(持续性). Whenever we travel—no matter where or how—we are leaving an impact on the environment and the world surrounding us. While sustainable tourism takes positive steps toward limiting that footprint in order for us to protect environments for future generations, regenerative tourism takes this idea one step further.

Regenerative tourism means “the idea that tourists should leave a place in better condition than it was before”. For example, when visiting a garden, each person plants a tree to further build the environment instead of leaving no trace(痕迹).

In a way, regenerative tourism involves travelers to be active in their acts of sustainability. Another great example of this is any act of clean-up. This is especially popular on major beaches and in parks where there’s always rubbish to pick up and waste to remove. While travelers certainly don't need to join in a community clean-up while on vacation (unless they want to), the idea of being involved is very much the same.

Joining in regenerative tourism has personal and environmental benefits. Jeffrey Skibins, an associate professor in entertainment and park management, says, “Many tourists report feelings of deep personal satisfaction and a stronger connection to nature. Additionally, conservation (保护) behaviors enable tourists to develop life-long learning around these issues and continue these behaviors at home.”

Regenerative means “to reew and revive”, which is exactly what many travelers are doing to help environments recover. Depending on where one plans to travel, there might be more ways to help than originally realized. By further encouraging damaged environments to be renewed through travel rather than being negatively impacted, we can slowly help to rebuild the world’s most beshifal landscapes.

32. What is the aim of regenerative tourism?

A. To further improve the environment. B. To limit the footprint of human beings.

C. To keep a place in its original condition. D. To dramatically promote global economy.

33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Designing a bright future for our life. B. Taking part in a community clean-up.

C. Renewing our ideas about environments. D. Getting active in the acts of sustainability.

34. What does Jeffrey Skibins think of regenerative tourism?

A. It makes travelers closely connected. B. It gives personal satisfaction to travelers.

C. It leaves a short-term effect on tourists. D. It helps tourists improve their learning ability.

35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Regenerative tourism invites travelers to do their part

B. Travelling patterns make a difference to the environment

C. Conservation behavior enjoys its popularity among households

D. The idea of sustainability takes root in all enthusiastic travelers

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It can be hard to focus on a book when your eyes feel heavy and your head is nodding. But does reading actually make you worn out?    36    Let’s take a closer look at the science behind why reading can make us tired.

Reading is basically guided daydreaming, and daydreaming isn't that different from sleep.    37    When you’re daydreaming or lost in a book, your body is in a state of relaxation and your mind is free to wander. This can be a very pleasant experience, but it’s not surprising that it can also make you tired.

Many people enjoy lying down at the end of the day with a good book.    38    We make sure we’re comfortable, maybe make ourselves a hot drink and settle down to read, cosy and uninterrupted(不受打扰的). Is it any wonder reading can make us nod off?

   39    It’s not just the act of reading that can be tiring. Sitting still in a darkly lit room can signal to your brain that it’s time to go to sleep, and it increases eye pain, which can be another cause of tiredness.

What you’re reading can also play a part in how tired it makes you feel. If you’re reading a particularly dull text, it’s natural that your brain will start to shut down in an attempt to protect itself! If you’re trying to process a lot of information, your brain will be working hard and you may start to feel tired.    40  

A. It is a common practice to do so.

B. Reading in low light makes you tired.

C. You should improve some aspects of reading.

D. In fact, you spend a long period of time reading.

E. Actually, both activities share some common features.

F. The mental process can be tiring while you are reading.

G. In that case, turn to something more interesting or enjoyable.

I am a Senior 3 student, and all my classmates are always talking about the future. Nine out of ten    41    are about universities, dream jobs, or what we want to seek after high school.

However, I recently found that    44    the future is preventing me from living in the present. I selected courses I    45    had no interest in just to improve my grades. I found myself doing schoolwork only with the    46    of getting good grades for university admissions.

That night    52    everything. I understand now high school is    53    just a path to adulthood. High school is a rightful destination of its own. Ever since I’ve been trying to    54    every second of my life in the present.

It was a warm spring morning. Five-year-old Mary was riding on a swing(秋千) outside the yard. When swinging, Mary was angrily thinking about her eleven-year-old brother, David. “How could he be so mean?” she asked herself, remembering how David had made a face and called her a “big baby” at the breakfast table. The swing carried her up so high that she could see for miles.

Mary’s red sweater flashed brightly in the morning sunlight. She then stopped thinking about her brother and started to sing a swinging song.

On a distant hill behind the swing, a huge bull(公牛) with long, sharp horns(角) watched the red sweater swinging back and forth in the sunlight. The bull had broken out of his ranch(牧场). It became angry and ready to attack anything that was moving. It made deep sounds. Then it lowered its big head and began running across the field toward the red sweater.

Meanwhile, David was in the yard, feeding the chickens. He looked out and saw his little sister on the swing. Then suddenly he saw the bull running across the field, heading straight for his sister. Knowing Mary was in danger, David shouted, “Look out behind you, Mary! Get off the swing! Run!” Mary didn’t hear him; she just kept singing and swinging. The bull was halfway across the field and approaching Mary quickly. David’s heart beat quickly. He must do something now or he had no chance.
