Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
This is how every brain works. It thinks over worst-case scenarios, like an anxious new parent. It's just trying to keep us safe and usually does a great job at it. That same vigilant hardwiring also makes it too easy to worry about the wrong things. It clouds our thinking with fear of outcomes that will never come to pass. Learning how to better separate the good worry, which protects us, from the useless worry, which harms us, is a vital life skill.
Consider the following simple exercise to increase your insight into how much you worry needlessly. It's an experiment I did for years with the goal of better identifying and reducing my "rocking chair" fretting while better harnessing the useful kind of worry.
Begin by writing down all the major things you're currently worried about. It's not pleasant to ruminate on them, but the fact is that your brain is constantly thinking about them anyway. Just because a worry is subconscious doesn't shield you from its negative effects. I suggest two rules for making the list. First, try to make the time frame for whether they will happen within just six months. That limits you to concrete and quantifiable worries. Limit your worries to those outcomes resolved in the next 180 days.
Second, keep the number at 10. If you have more than that, pick the biggest ones. If you have fewer than 10, good for you, but challenge yourself to go deeper and find other worries of which you may be less aware.
Some of your 10 worries will be big, others small or even trivial. Some you may feel you have no control over while some you do. Don't worry about their seriousness or ranking them; just capture what's causing you any anticipatory fear. By clearing your mind of needless worry, you can home in on the real concerns you might be able to stop. And even if you can't stop them, there's value in occupying your mind with action over fear.

Read the passage and answer the question that follow.

(1) The tourism industry is undoubtedly in a state of flux. Countries are competing for tourists by investing in their holiday destinations and thus making them more attractive and diverse. Whilst others are trying to block tourism because they feel that over tourism has had a negative impact on their society. Tourism needs to be carefully managed to prevent harm to the environment and disruption to local communities and their economy. The possible disadvantages of tourism on the one hand and new types of sustainable tourism on the other are discussed and contextualised in the two extracts.
(2) There are several potential issues to understand. First, important projects for local communities might be sidelined as councils focus on infrastructure developments for tourists. Second, the situation in environmental problem zones may be exacerbated by, for example, water cycle damage. Third is more pervasive because the profits of tourism often are not for the benefit of the local population. Instead global players such as hotels or airlines alongside others gain the vast majority of the income.
(3) The flaws of tourism are contrasted by trends such as eco-tourism which aims at reducing the impact tourism has on naturally fecund environments. Eco-tourism is based upon the idea that the natural environment and local communities are not exploited by tourism. All tourism projects are designed in cooperation with local communities. Infrastructure improvements have to benefit local inhabitants and not just tourists and there has to be evidence that the whole region is benefiting from visitors.
(4) Tourism nowadays has to be seen in the context of climate change and declining natural resources. Some remote islands or regions located on the shore may disappear in the foreseeable future due to rising sea levels. The erosion caused by too many visitors will literally melt sights in front of our eyes so we should do our utmost to put off such an austere scenario by travelling responsibly, avoiding long-distance flights as much as we can. On the upside by travelling responsibly we can make positive changes to less well-off and environmentally sensitive areas.

If we don't act on how tourism impacts the world around us _________.

Athere may not be places to visit in the future
Bwe could end up going to all the wrong places
Cthe world may have to ban long distance travel
Dpeople will continue paying for global company payouts
