With the return of tourists, some of the world’s most popular tourist destinations are flat-out, telling tourists to stay away in 2023.
Lanzarote, Spain
Lanzarote has long been a top getaway choice for the British, making up around half of the island’s overseas visitors. However, the days of budget drinking until dawn is over, as the Spanish President wants to attract “higher quality” visitors to spend more and drink less. The island declared itself a tourist-packed area early in 2023.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona has it all: modern art, a massive beach, all-night parties, and the food, culture and sunshine you want from a European city break. It’s also full of tourists. In 2022, the city took steps to limit the size of tour groups and introduce noise restrictions. The city will further limit numbers to ensure better life quality for locals.
Santorini, Greece
The Greek island attracts two million visitors annually, a significant number considering the island’s year-round population of around 10,000. While tourism is a large part of the economy, the island started restrictions in 2019, when passengers were limited to 8,000 per day and tourists weighing over 100kg were banned from riding donkeys.
Amalfi Coast, Italy
In 2022, Amalfi Coast took number plate system for visitors. Cars with odd (奇数的) number plates were allowed access to the coast on one day, while cars ending in an even number were permitted to enter on the next. Local residents and public transport were exception. The coast also featured on Fodor’s list of places to avoid visiting in 2023 for its over-tourism.

A teenager has realized her dream of becoming a model-- just three years after a car accident left her with a broken back.
Marita Davies, was in a wheelchair for a year and had to learn to walk after she suffered terrible injures. She feared her dream of a modeling career was over but just three years on, she is now in the running to be crowned (加冕) Miss Great Britain. She said, “I was shocked when I learned how serious my injuries were. I thought my dream of becoming a model was over. My leg was seriously injured and my back was broken. The accident had broken my confidence.”
But when she finally came out of the wheelchair and she turned a corner. Marita decided she would still try to follow her dream, and sent her photos off to some modeling agencies. She did a few unpaid jobs while studying at college, and soon, paid commercial modeling jobs started coming in. Marita was a bit doubtful at first, because the accident has left her with huge scars on her leg and back. She was worried people wouldn’t want her to model for them, but it didn’t stop her.
She has done amazingly well to overcome everything, which has been thrown at her in the last three years. Within months of learning to walk again, Marita was signed up for advertising campaigns. She has also appeared in a TV ad. Marita was crowned Miss Nottingham City earlier this year, and is now competing against 59 other girls to be crowned Miss Great Britain.

Nostalgia (怀旧) has become increasingly common in the current rapid, unexpected changes. More and more Americans are turning back with longing to what feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters, even decades-old video games.
Is it a mistake to miss the past Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it suggests loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time dealing with the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contributes to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, etc.
But new studies suggest that a small amount of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more positive and inspired. It is also a tool for self-discovery and memories are a psychological response when you want to take a break from negativity. Recalling (回忆) our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally,” says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. “That is such a powerful comfort, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn’t have to earn our love.” Nostalgia can turn even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let’s not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to countless American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, “After all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then.”
So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, a long-gone family pet, etc. As Dr. Sedikides says, “Nostalgia is absolutely central to human experience.” But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well: “You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.”
28. How is nostalgia viewed by the psychologists in Paragraph 2
A. It might leave a person in low spirits.
B. It indicates loneliness experienced in the past.
C. It always saves people from dull reality.
D. It helps to solve the problems in the present life.
29. What is discussed about nostalgia in Paragraph 3
A. Its reasons. B. Its benefits. C. Its side-effects. D. Its working principles.
30. Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the text
A. To explain he had a strong sense of identity.
B. To recall the good old days.
C. To show his nostalgia for the past.
D. To prove nostalgia can serve as an inspiration for works.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards nostalgia
A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
D
Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Researchers have discovered numerous connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking in contrast with sitting.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is triggered (触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone-feeds creative thinking.
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey indicates that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more prone (倾向于) to stagnation, the opposite of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.
Our brains work harder to process in different environments, so walking outside develops our ability to learn new ideas, to take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” is a common form of relaxation and medicine in Japan. It was developed in 1982, and recent studies show that being in the forest and walking among the trees lowers your stress levels. But you don’t have to live near a forest to receive the psychological benefits. Research has shown that being in nature, and the disconnection from multimedia and technology, increased performance on a creative problem-solving task by a full 50 percent in a group of hikers.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move, the way the sun reflects in a puddle. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
32. What does the author stress in Paragraph 2
A. Physical activity contributes to mental production.
B. People release their creativity in company.
C. Walking dogs promotes creative thinking.
D. Brain will develop with regular use.
33. What contributes to people’s energy according to the National Human Activity Pattern Survey
A. The chance encounter. B. The comfort zone.
C. A change of scene. D. A workout.
34. What does the author suggest
A. Taking a walk in a forest. B. Improving the physical fitness.
C. Connecting with the outside world. D. Getting rid of electronic devices.
35. Which of the following is the best title of the text
A. Relaxation is inseparable from creative inspiration
B. Your brain was made for walking
C. Walk out of your comfort zone
D. Mind and body are closely related

Getting into the right focus for serious studying can be difficult. With roommates or family, incoming messages, the internet, and so on, it’s easy to focus on other things, which can leave you unprepared for your tests. 36 . Use these tips to make a quiet place that allows for concentration.
If you are on campus, roommates and dormitory can be loud, and if you are studying online from home, you might have to deal with your family’s comings and goings. 37 . If you don’t care to study in silence, you could drown out the background noise of people talking around you. You could use earplugs when you need to concentrate deeply or download a white noise app on your phone.
Another easy way to get focused on your study plan is realizing you need something that you forgot outside your study space. For example, be sure to have all the pens, notebooks and textbooks you will need to complete your work. 38 . So having all the necessary things on hand will keep you focused. Besides, if you are doing work or reading on a laptop, make sure to bring your charger, as a failing battery may force you to stop studying.
