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.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque’s amazing landscapes provide an enjoyment for visitors year-round. However, visiting in fall
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.
Laconia, New Hampshire
You may not have heard of Laconia before. This small New Hampshire city is mostly known for its incredible
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?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Appreciative. C. Doubtful. D. Confused.
7. What does the text intend to convey?
A. Great hopes make great man. B. A brave attempt is half success.
C. Do what you say, say what you do! D. It’s never too late to fulfill your dream.
C
Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing personal information publicly was uncommon. Nowadays, it’s normal
for young people to post updates about their lives and interact on the Internet regularly. Supporters of social media
say it brings people closer together, and helps make friends, learn about different cultures, and celebrate events.
Yet, concerns arise over this lifestyle’s impact, especially regarding the quantity and nature of shared
information. Studies reveal that overuse of social media could be harmful. Researchers observed individuals’moods
before and after platform interactions and found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy
they felt.
This outcome has several reasons. Social media often features idealized content like beautiful vacations, lively
events, and trendy outfits. Since negative experiences or unappealing images are rarely shared, it creates a false
reality. Comparing these highlights to one’s own life can contribute to depression, as people may perceive their
lives as inferior. Even those sharing the positive content can get worried and stressed about how many likes and
comments they get, and whether they are popular enough. Online bullying makes things worse, with people being
mean and hurtful in their comments.
Since social media is a big part of our lives now
,
it’s not going away. Research emphasizes finding a
balance between our digital and physical existence. It’s not necessary to cut off from the online world to be happy,
but it’s important to be aware of the selective image that the online world presents. Understanding that what we see
