Will and Mary Part 5 

У нас в Уральском регионе очень красивая природа. Здесь много лесов, гор, рек и озёр.
В 100 километрах от Екатеринбурга есть уникальный природный парк. Этот парк был создан в 1999 году. Его площадь 12000 гектаров.
Парк называется «Оленьи ручьи». Однажды здесь нашли наскальный рисунок оленя. Поэтому парк назвали «Оленьи ручьи».
Туристы очень любят этот парк. Это удивительное место! Можно весь день гулять по лесу, пересекать реку по мостам, подниматься на скалы, заходить в пещеры. 
Туристам предлагают 5 маршрутов по парку. Самый короткий маршрут – 4 километра, а самый длинный – 18 километров. 
Летом люди плавают по реке на каноэ и сапах. А зимой обычно приезжают сюда, чтобы сходить в русскую баню и сделать шашлыки на свежем воздухе. Если хотите, на территории парка можно остаться на ночь в небольших удобных домиках. 
Еще одно интересное место - пещера древнего человека. Археологи нашли здесь следы присутствия охотников времен мезолита, неолита, энеолита и бронзового века. 
Ангел Единой Надежды – скульптура, которая стоит на скале над рекой Сергой.
Её автор - талантливая художница из Швеции Лена Эдвалл. Такие скульптуры расположены по всему миру. Они дарят людям свет и надежду. Говорят, что если подержать Ангела за крылья, то он исполнит ваше желание.

Короткие истории. 2. Уникальный парк на Урале.

Fewer young people in the US are vaping this year than at any point in the last decade, government officials have reported.

The latest survey numbers show the teen vaping rate fell to under 6% this year, down from 7.7% in 2023. More than 1.6 million students aged between 11 and 18 reported vaping in the previous month — about one-third the number in 2019, when underage vaping peaked.

Brian King from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the decline was good news but added: "There's clearly more work to do to further reduce youth use."

It is illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product to anyone aged under 21.

King and other officials noted that the drop in vaping hasn't led to an increase in the use of other tobacco industry products, such as nicotine pouches.

Sales of small, flavored pouches like Zyn have increased among adults. The pouches come in flavors like mint and cinnamon and slowly release nicotine when placed behind the lips. This year's US survey shows 1.8% of teens are using them, which is about the same percentage as last year.

The survey involved more than 29,000 students, who completed an online questionnaire in the spring.

Officials from the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention attributed the big drop in vaping to recent age restrictions and more aggressive enforcement against retailers and manufacturers, including Chinese vaping companies who have sold their e-cigarettes illegally in the US for years.

Use of the most popular e-cigarette among teens, Elf Bar, fell 36% in the wake of FDA warning letters to stores and distributors selling the brightly colored vapes, which come in flavors like watermelon ice and peach mango.

Nearly 90% of the students who vape used flavored products, with fruit flavors the most popular.

In 2020, FDA regulators banned fruit and candy flavors from reusable e-cigarettes like Juul.
