The concept of a "growth mindset" is a powerful tool for personal development. It suggests that our basic abilities can be developed through hard work and feedback. those with a fixed mindset, people who believe they can improve do not when a task becomes difficult. They understand that a person fails or succeeds is often determined by their persistence. Therefore, we should learn to challenges as opportunities to learn. This attitude is transformative because it turns obstacles into stepping stones. Finally, every student should possess this mindset to thrive in a changing world. By adopting this view, we can unlock our true and achieve goals that once seemed impossible.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
In the summer of 2024, the city of Venice did something that would have seemed unthinkable just a generation ago — it began charging visitors an entry fee simply to walk through its streets. The decision was controversial. But for many local residents, it was long overdue.
Venice receives approximately 20 million tourists every year, in a city where fewer than 50,000 permanent residents now remain. Shops that once sold everyday goods to local families have been replaced by souvenir stores and overpriced restaurants designed entirely for visitors. Rents have risen so sharply that ordinary working people can no longer afford to live in the city where they grew up. In the most visited neighbourhoods, locals have become a minority in their own home.
The situation did not develop overnight. For decades, city authorities welcomed the growth of tourism without asking too many questions about its long-term effects. Cheap flights made European cities easier to reach than ever before, and the rise of short-term rental platforms like Airbnb meant that apartments which were once home to families were converted into holiday accommodation almost overnight. By the time local governments began to notice the damage, the problem had already grown very difficult to manage.
Venice is not alone. [I] In Barcelona, residents have held street protests against the large number of short-term holiday rentals, which they say are pushing housing costs beyond what local families can afford. [II] On the Thai island of Koh Samui, beaches that were once clean and quiet have become heavily polluted because of the number of visitors they receive every season. [III] In Kyoto, Japan, residents in some areas have put up signs asking tourists not to enter certain streets at all. [IV]
What makes overtourism particularly difficult to solve is that the same industry causing these problems also provides jobs and income that many local economies genuinely depend on. Governments are now trying different approaches — entry fees, visitor limits, and restrictions on new hotels. Whether these measures will be enough is still unclear. What is already certain, however, is that when a place becomes too popular, the people who actually live there often pay the highest price.
According to paragraph 3, what contributed to the rapid conversion of family homes into holiday accommodations?
According to the passage, all of the following are mentioned as consequences of overtourism EXCEPT _____.
local residents being displaced due to highly unaffordable housing costs
traditional everyday grocery shops being replaced by tourist-focused stores
an unexpected increase in the number of permanent residents in city centers
natural environments and quiet beaches becoming heavily polluted by visitors
