　　When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and loond.
　　"Hello?" she called."Celia? Marie?"
　　There was no response.
　　The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it "Forgotten Island" because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends -her, Celia, and Marie.
　　But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.
　　"Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat." Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island.The argument that followed the refusal toosual form.Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.
　　A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap.The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem.She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island.The thought of it sent a chill（寒意）down her back.
　　Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water.It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters.As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
　　In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving.Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out.She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie.They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.

　　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 world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.
　　But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This 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 world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR 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 over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These 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
