Sometimes people around you can change your life. The change may not be sudden or
1
，
but
little
habits
can
produce
big 2 that
make
you
think
about
what
is
important
in
your
life.
The
person
who
changed
my
life
is Julia
Masi.
She
has 3 me
so
many
things
that
I
will
carry
with
me 4 my life.
One thing I've learned from Julia is how to balance 5
．
Julia has shown me how to 6 ahead so that
I can finish all my school work
，
enjoy sports and 7 have time for my friends. She has taught me that you
can
do
anything
if
you
are 8
—

never
give
up.
I've
also
learned that
you
can
find
anything 9 if
you
connect it with something that you enjoy.
Last year I hated studying vocabulary
，
but I loved playing on my computer. Julia 10 the two and
showed me a website called“” where you can
11 a word game that gives you 5 grains of rice
to donate to the poor with every correct word. She 12 me to learn a hundred new 13 by filling up the
rice bowl. I liked playing the game so much that I 14 about 1
，
000 words in just one month.
Julia has always 15 me to try new hobbies. She showed me that going to the theater could help me
become a better writer. 16
，
she taught me that discussing a play can excite an interest in reading.

17 it weren't for Julia I probably wouldn't have 18 how easy it is to help the poor. There are so
many ways that one person can 19
．
I've learned to be more appreciative of what I own. I am 20 for the
opportunities that I have been given. I will continue to think of ways to help those less fortunate for the rest
of my life.

Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us.
Not
all
travel
experiences
，
however
，
need
to
take
place
in
the
real

the
evolution
of
virtual
reality(VR) technology
，
tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual world. VR
may even remove the need to travel entirely.
But can a VR experience really equal a real world? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown
that our brains have an inbuilt VRlike mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our
waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the is known
as “mind wandering”
．
During
these events we're not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we're recalling memories
，
or
creating and processing imagined futures.
When engaged in mind wandering
，
our brains process these mental images using the same pathways
used to receive inputs from the real
，
the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings
similar to how we react to everyday can create these same feelings.
While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality
，
there are several ways VR
tourism
could
make
a
positive
contribution.
Firstly
it
could
help
protect
sensitive
locations
from
overtourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand
，
have had to limit the number of
visitors because of their negative

places
are now producing their own VR experiences that
will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.
Virtual reality may also allow people back in time
，
to experience historical events
，
visit ancient cities
，
and even to walk among dinosaurs.
Finally
，
in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork
，
virtual
tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable
destinations and recharge their batteries
，
without ever leaving their homes.
It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening(
流行的
)
．
As virtual technology improves and
as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences
，
more virtual tourism will be expected
，
both
in combination with the real world and instead of

it
．

The brain processes which help people think VR is real.

The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.

Big
Ben,
which
is
considered
as 1 landmark
building
in
London, will
keep silent for four
years as
major conservation works are carried out on the tower
that houses the bell. Visitors to London may feel 2
a pity that they won't hear the chimes (
钟声
)
in the next few years.
The chimes from the bell, one of London's most famous __3__ (attract), have kept time in the
British capital for 157 years. At noon on August 21, 2017, Big Ben sounded for the last time until

(fall)
silent
is
a
significant
milestone in this 6
(extreme)
important conservation project. This important program of works
will safeguard the clock __7__ a longterm basis, as well as protecting and preserving its home.
Big
Ben
is
the
name
of
the
bell
inside
the
tower
(St.
Stephen's
Tower,
renamed
Elizabeth
Tower in 2012),
and not the building or the clock simply 8
(know) as the Great Clock itself.

Sunday.
