When Lucia heard abut a natinal acting cmpetitin in the city, her heart raced with excitement. But she faced tw big challenges: cnvincing her clsed-minded parents and preparing fr a cmpetitin with city-bred cmpetitrs.
Her parents, althugh lving, believed that the city was n place fr their daughter. Lucia’s pleas seemed t fall n deaf ears until she decided t perfrm a tuching scene fr them. Tears flwed, nt just frm Lucia’s eyes but frm her parents’ t. Witnessing her raw talent, they gave her their blessing.

The day f the cmpetitin arrived. The city’s hall was filled with well-dressed participants and audiences. Lucia, in her mdest clthes, felt like a fish ut f water. Yet, when her turn came, the stage was her wrld. She perfrmed s beautifully that she made the audience cmpletely amazed. She shwed the emtins s vividly; it tuched suls.
When the results were annunced, the underdg frm a tiny village had finally wn. The city, which seemed s vast, eched with applause fr Lucia.
She returned t her village nt just as Lucia but as a symbl f hpe and dreams. Her jurney, frm a quiet village girl t a natinal acting champin, was nt just a prf f her talent but a shining example f passin and determinatin.

Hw D Smartphnes Affect Our Sleep
Smart phnes can be addictive and may lead t prblematic use. This is even mre true fr teenagers. Smartphne addictin can als negatively affect students’ perfrmance in schl. Many studies have als shwn the prlnged screen time is bad fr ur sleep. But is it different if yu are actually addicted t yur phne? Is that mre f a prblem fr sleep than just spending time n yur screen?
We asked 1043 UK students aged between 18 t 30 t cmplete tw questinnaires. The first ne was abut the students’ smartphne use, which includes questins like whether they miss planned wrk due t smartphne use t see whether they are addicted. The secnd questinnaire assessed the quality f students’ sleep. We then analyzed the data t find if there is an assciatin between smartphne addictin and sme factrs like age, ethnicity, r gender.
Arund 39% f the students shwed several signs f smartphne addictin. It was mre prevalent amng students under 21. Prlnged use was strngly linked t addictin. Abut 54% f the students wh used their smartphnes fr mre than 5 hurs a day suffered frm addictin. Only 20% f thse wh used them fr under 2 hurs a day were addicted.
Smartphne use befre bed is als an imprtant factr. The addictin levels were high amng students wh used their phnes less than 30 minutes befre bedtime and lw amng thse wh stpped using their phnes mre than ne hur befre time.
Accrding t ur study, smartphne addictin is als related t using it in late hurs. Fr example, if yu use yur phne after 1 am, yu are three times as likely t have an addictin.

Our study als shws that smartphne addictin culd be harming peple’s sleep. And this is nt just because f screen time. Peple culd suffer frm addictin and pr sleep even when they used their phnes fr under 2 hurs a day. But use in the late hurs r right befre bedtime tended t harm the students’ sleep.
If yu have a smartphne, it culd have a bad impact n yur health. Students need t take special actins t prevent it frm damaging their health befre it’s t late.

The Pwer and Prblems f Ec-Turism
Ec-turism gained its ppularity ver the past tw decades. At its cre, ec-turism prmtes sustainable travel practices that benefit lcal cmmunities and prtect the envirnment. Hwever, like any significant trend, it is vital t analyze its impact and understand bth its merits (好处) and ptential shrtcmings.
Ec-turism emerged as a respnse t the damaging effects f mass turism. Castal twns were being transfrmed int cmmercial centers, but the luxury resrts rarely invested back int the cmmunity. Over time, ecsystems suffered, lcal cultures were vershadwed, and the very essence f these destinatins was at risk. On the ther hand, ec-turism fcuses n smaller grups, envirnmental educatin, and lcal engagement.
One f the primary merits f ec-turism is its emphasis n envirnmental cnservatin. It helps prtect endangered species and refrest areas affected by defrestatin. Take the muntain grillas f Rwanda fr instance, turism incme has played a crucial rle in their cnservatin effrts, bringing them back frm the edge f extinctin.
Furthermre, ec-turism ften ensures that lcal cmmunities benefit ecnmically. Instead f leaving prfits t internatinal crpratins, the incme ften stays within the cmmunity. Lcal artisans, guides, and service prviders receive a mre significant piece f the pie, ensuring that turism acts as a tl fr sci-ecnmic grwth.
Yet, ec-turism is nt withut its prblems. The term “ec-turism” is smetimes misused r verused. Sme businesses might claim themselves as “ec-friendly” purely as a marketing strategy, withut truly making sustainable practices.
In cnclusin, ec-turism represents a significant change twards mre sustainable travel, placing emphasis n the envirnment and lcal cmmunities. Hwever, as with any majr mvement, it’s essential t apprach it with a critical eye. By ding s, we can ensure that ur passin fr travelling desn’t cme at the cst f ur planet r its inhabitants, but rather enriches bth the traveler and the destinatin.
40. Hw has ec-turism impacted the muntain grillas f Rwanda?
41. What are the merits f ec-turism?
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
> Ec-turism places emphasis n the envirnment and lcal cmmunities, ensuring that ur passin fr travelling cmes at the cst f ur planet and its inhabitants.
