Fun Fall Weekend Getaways

Gulf Shores, Alabama

Alabama’s Gulf Shores is attractive year-round, but the fall months bring fewer crowds and more affordable

prices on hotels. Head to Gulf Shores for warm ocean waters and lovely whites and beaches that you may have all

to yourself. There’s also plenty to do at this beach destination outside of playing in the sand and surfing. For

example, you can visit a downtown music bar.

allows you to enjoy the famous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which takes place in October. Book a trip

in early October to see hundreds of brightly colored balloons dot the sky—you can even take a balloon ride

yourself. Because this hot air balloon festival is such a popular event, you’ll want to secure accommodations well

in advance.

fall festivals. Perhaps you’ve heard the famous New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival, which takes place here in late

October. Plan a weekend getaway to check out the amazing display of jack-o’-lanterns, live music, the Children’s

Costume Parade, a cornhole tournament and more.

During 20 years of working at his family’s supermarket, José Luis-Reig, known as Pep, never gave a thought

to the world of academia(学术界). It was only when visiting the classrooms of universities with his two teenage

daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among ‘the atmosphere of learning’.

After school Pep had intended to study biology but was called on to help run the family business instead.

When he was at school, he developed a reputation for helping others and so was invited onto the local radio, where

the presenter said. “You’re like a young psychologist(心理学家).”

Pep was no stranger to change. The family business had originally been a sawmill(锯木厂). But when Pep,

then 27, was asked if he wanted to take over, he decided to change the mill into the town’s first supermarket.

One day in the shop

the radio presenter’s comment came back to him. After running the idea past his

family, he applied to a university in Palma to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted.

“I had to get used to being much older than the other students.” he says. “But I ended up helping the others

because I’d had more life experience.” Pep came top of his year and impressed his tutors(导师)so much that he was

offered a job researching and teaching. Now 52, and still in the job. He adds, “My only regret is not having done it

earlier.”

The traditional view used to be that, while making changes in your youth was acceptable, you should then

settle on a career and stick to it. But today record numbers of 50-and 60-somethings are choosing to take on new

challenges. Job satisfaction becomes increasingly significant when you’ve only got a few miles on the clock.

4. Why did Pep determine to return to school at the age of 46?

A. He was eager to help others.

B. He was tired of staying at the same job for so long.

C. He decided to earn a degree and make more money.

D. Accompanying his daughters to universities inspired him to learn.

5. What caused Pep to quit his dream of further studying?

A. Failing to achieve excellent academic results.

B. Getting bored with the atmosphere of learning.

C. The desire to try his hand at the commercial market.

D. The request of taking over the family business from home.

6. How does Pep feel about his present situation?
