Spending time in nature has been known to positively impact mental health for some time now,but even greenery planted along a sidewalk line can be beneficial.
   Mental health experts have long believed the health benefits of spending time in nature and there're many related studies.A team of German researchers studied the long-term connection between living in an urban area where there are fewer green spaces and levels of depression.To understand the impact of being near a green space-specifically,trees planted along neighborhood sidewalks-they examined data from 10,000 residents of Leipzig,the most populated city in Saxony,Germany.Researchers assessed the number and type of street trees,how close they were planted to homes,and the number of drugs residents take to treat depression.
   In addition to their closeness to green spaces,researchers also took into account the age,employment status,gender,and body weight of each of the participants.They found that trees located within 100 meters of the home were associated with a lower risk of being given antidepressants(抗抑郁藥),particularly in poor or unimportant neighborhoods.As these populations are usually at a greater risk of being given antidepressants in Germany,the findings prove just how beneficial green spaces in urban areas can be for improving mental health.
   "Our findings suggest that street trees-a publicly accessible form of urban green spaces taking up a small area-can help close the gap in health inequalities between economically different social groups," says Dr.Melissa Marselle,lead author of the study. "This is good news because street trees are relatively easy to achieve and their number can be increased without much planning effort."
   In addition to the mental health benefits for humans,planting more trees is also good for the environment. "Adding street trees in residential urban areas is a nature-based solution that may not only promote mental health,but also contribute to biodiversity conservation and mitigating climate change,says senior author Professor Aletta Bonn.

  • 1."An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Similarly,if we drink a little more water every day,we may find that we need to go to the doctor less often.A healthy diet is made up of water and different kinds of foods.We know that healthy foods like fruits,vegetables and fish ,are important as they offer energy and fiber,without giving us much fat and sugar.But why is water important?
       The human body needs water to survive.Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies.However,doctors advise us to drink plenty of water ,much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
       Some doctors believe that water is important for health in all kinds of ways.They believe that many illnesses and health problems appear as a result of dehydration--a lack of water.Most people are dehydrated (脫水)at least some of time,although they probably don't know it.It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty,we are already in the first stages of dehydration.In fact,we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
       These doctors think that health problems such as headaches,high blood pressure could be helped if people drink more water.They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are fat.Water contains no calories so it will not make us gain weight.If we drink water ,we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks.Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating.They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are,in fact,thirsty.Doctors suggest,therefore,that we eat less food and drink more water.
       There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water,so we should not stop going to see the doctor completely.

  • 3.    Popular destinations have seen an increase in incidents involving tourists in recent years.Reports of a man damaging the Colosseum in Rome (羅馬圓形大劇場) show that behavior has worsened even in places that rarely had problems in the past.
        What's behind these acts?One answer is social media.Instagram and TikTok have made it easy to find"hidden diamond"restaurants and discover new destinations to add to your travel list.But this way of travel planning has had other consequences.
        It is known as social proof when we look to the behaviors of others to justify our own actions.Now,travelers also look to social media for proof of how others behave while they go pleasure-seeking on vacations.If others are throwing caution to the wind while on vacation,this can cause a domino(多米諾) effect of bad behavior.
        Besides,because tourists are often sheltered in hotels away from local communities,they might wrongly think that traveling to a place far from home is an opportunity for consequence-free bad behavior.They underestimate or ignore the effect their actions can have on local communities.
        In response to tourist misbehavior,the island of Bali,a famous tourist destination in Indonesia,introduced new guidelines for visitors in June 2023.These include rules about proper behavior in the protected temples,around the island and with locals,and respecting the natural environment.
        Tourists now need a license to rent motorbikes,and can not set foot on any mountain or volcano in Bali due to the nature-protection laws.Besides,travelers must only stay in registered hotels,which will impact a number of Airbnb properties.
        Other destinations have taken similar steps.Iceland,Hawaii,and Costa Rica have required visitors to obey local laws and custom.Where such efforts aren't successful,some places such as Thailand's famous Maya Bay have taken it further and fully closed to tourists,at least temporarily.

    (1)What is a reason behind what tourists have done in recent years?

    A.They misjudge the results.
    B.They needn't obey the rules.
    C.They're misled by the locals.
    D.They can't accept the custom.
    (2)What does"throwing caution to the wind"in paragraph 3 mean?

    A.Acting immediately.
    B.Exploring bravely.
    C.Wandering aimlessly.
    D.Behaving wildly.
    (3)What can tourists do in Bali from June 2023 on?

    A.Visit a temple with respect.
    B.Climb up the volcano.
    C.Rent motorbikes as wished.
    D.Stay in an Airbnb house.
    (4)Why do the tourist destinations take measures against the tourists?

    A.To reduce the influence of social media.
    B.To set a limit on the number of visitors.
    C.To restrict tourists' improper behavior.
    D.To prevent tourists from being injured.
