一、阅读理解

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.

Fresh island food

Delight your senses with delicious Miyako noodles, or fresh fruit. Okinawa has the

highest mango production in Japan, and Miyako Island’s warm climate is suitable for growing

fresh, juicy mangoes.

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.”

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

试卷第3页，共10页

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.

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 renew 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 beautiful landscapes.
