21、 A new study suggests a link between exposure to greenery and reduced desires for alcohol. cigarette and junk food.
The study is the first to investigate the possible relationships between exposure to nature and desires and negative emotions. Researchers at the University of Plymouth’s School of Psychology surveyed 149 respondents (应答者) aged 21 o 65 about the proportion( 比例 )of green space in their neighborhood, the presence of green views from their home, their access to a garden and how often they use public green space. The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety, as well as desires for things like caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Participants rated the intensity( 强度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵扰性) of their desires on an 11-point scale.
Researchers found the presence of visible green space contributed to decreased desires for junk food. The effect was particularly noticeable when more than 25 percent of a respondent’s view was greenery.
Previous scholarship(学术研究) has dealt mostly with exercise in nature: A 2015 study out of the University of Michigan found 90- minute group nature walks were effective at combatting depression and relieving other mood disorders. But for people who struggle with accessibility or don’t have time for a 90-minute walk, this new study suggests just looking out a window at a tree can help fight off a bad habit.
“It has been known for some time that being outdoors in nature is linked to a person's well-being, ” lead author Leanne Martin said in a statement. “ But for there to be a similar association with desires from simply being able to see green space adds a new dimension to the previous research.”
A 2018 study from Denmark’s Aarhus University. for example, found that. Having access to green space throughout childhood decreased a person’s risk of developing mental health problems as an adult.

24、Being added to UNESCO’ s World Heritage List often makes the site known worldwide, bringing more tourists and leading to access to international funding. But there are strings attached(附加条件).
World Heritage Sites are usually placed on the list “forever”, said Mechtild Rossler, director of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, but countries have to do their best to protect and fight against threats to the sites.
Getting a place on the World Heritage List takes years, said Rossler, adding that several sites waited some 25 years. Sites must be included on a “tentative(预备的)list” before they can be formally nominated(提名).The World Heritage Committee meets once a year to decide which nominated sites will be placed on the World Heritage List. To be accepted, sites must be of “outstanding universal value” and meet at least one of 10 standards. There are now 1,154 sites on the World Heritage List, of which 897 are cultural, 218 are natural and 39 are mixed.
When sites are under certain threats, countries are sent a warning letter. That’ s what happened to Peru, which has received many warnings over threats from overtourism, landslides and flooding at Machu Picchu.
Many sites take action in order to remove the threats, said Rossler, but not all. At that point, the World Heritage Committee makes the decision to place a site on UNESCO’ s “List of World Heritage in Danger’’---often referred to simply as the “Danger List”.
Governments fear the Danger List will harm tourism, Rossler said. That’s what happened in the Galapagos Islands, she said, where the government worked very hard to deal with threats to the area. The site was removed from the Danger List in 2010.

C.The advantages of being included on a tentative list.
D.The responsibilities of the World Heritage Committee.

A.Uninterested.
B.Forgiving.

D.Pleased.
