26、The typical American road trip is still possible. Maine’s Route 1 provides us with classic small towns, friendly local restaurants and breathtaking views but you need to detour (迂回) here and there. To see the best of this road trip, you can follow these destinations.
Kittery Charm
Kittery Charm is Maine’s oldest town, with a history going back to 1623. Old-fashioned houses and a small but unique downtown make this a must stop on your trip. The town is away from the highway. Go window-shopping, get a bite in one of the fine restaurants, such as local favorite Lil’s café, and then head out to Fort McClary, a protected spot for more than 275 years.
Pemaquid Peninsula Walk
Spend a full day exploring a peninsula (半岛) favored by artists such as Edward Hopper. After a typical fantastic breakfast in Damariscotta, just off Route 1, head south to New Harbor and sign up for a half-day trip with Maine Kayak. You’ll explore Muscongus Bay and its wonderful views of land and sea. Then take a look at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse built in 1827, the Keeper’s House, Fisherman’s Museum, which offer a taste of local life.
The Bold Coast
The small town of Cutler offers a number of exciting possibilities, starting with a hike on a lovely land of the Bold Coast Path through coastal forests then the blueberry (蓝莓) fields where you can enjoy the freshest wild blueberries. For a real Maine experience, spend the night in the Little River Lighthouse built in 1888 and taste the freshest seafood nearby.
East Down Farthest
Located on the most eastern point of the United States, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, dating from 1858, catches the first rays (光线) of morning sun. You’ll have some local seafood at Becky’s Seafood and spend the night at the Peacock House, a former ship captain’s home facing the Bay of Fundy.

Everyone wants something different. 【2】 As you learn these skills, it is important to be very clear about what you want and what it looks like. The goal here is to get you to feel good about being who you are and connecting with people.
【3】
The most effective way to overcome shyness is to change your focus from you to them. Remember the last time you were in a situation and you were nervous or shy? I'd be willing to believe you were focusing on yourself; how you looked, what you were going to say, or how different you were from everyone else. Sure, it's important to be aware of how you are being thought, but people always remember how you make them feel. 【4】 People that shine are focusing on delivering, serving and benefiting others in some way.

28、 Here are some of the must-reads of this year.
Giraffe Problems by Jory John
Edward the giraffe feels very embarrassed about his super long neck. It's difficult to move, too bendy, and on the whole just too “necky”. With a delightful sense of humor and illustrations (插图) that run across the pages, this funny story of friendship and self-acceptance will be loved by kids.
The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson
Every child knows what it’s like to feel different. Celebrated author Jacqueline Woodson finds a way to reassure children that they are not alone in this tale about how sharing our own personal experiences helps us connect with others.
Elmore by Holly Hobbie
Holly Hobbie is the creator of the beloved Toot & Puddle series and now brings us a character for the next generation. Who doesn’t love a cute porcupine (豪猪)? A lot of other animals, obviously. Poor Elmore can’t make friends, even though he really wants to, because everyone is afraid of his pines(刺). Thankfully, he won’t let that stand in his way!
Wordy Birdy by Tammi Sauer
Wordy Birdy loves to talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, which means that sometimes she doesn’t pay attention to what her friends are saying or where she’s going. That kind of thing can get a girl in trouble. When Wordy Birdy goes into a deep, dark forest, she is too busy talking to notice the danger signs ahead, or to hear the warnings from her raccoon, squirrel and rabbit friends, who beg her to turn around.

29、Camaraderie over Competence
The importance of liking people is the subject of an article in the Harvard Business Review, which has carried out an experiment to find out who we’d rather work with. Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both: brilliant at their jobs and delightful human beings. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More interestingly, the authors found that, given the choice between working with lovable fools and competent jerks (性情古怪的人), we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who annoy or hurt other people? We might insist that competence matters more, but our behavior shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with them.
What companies should therefore do is get people to like each other more. The trick here is apparently to make sure staffs come across each other as often as possible during the day. They also should be sent on bonding courses and so on to encourage friendliness and break down displeasure. However, more outdoor-activity weekends and shared coffee machines inspire no confidence at all.
The reality is that people either like each other or they don’t. You can’t force it. Possibly you can make offices friendlier by tolerating a lot of chat, but there is a productivity cost to that. In my experience, the question of lovable fool against competent jerk may not be the right one. The two are interrelated: we tend not to like our workmates when they are completely hopeless. I was once quite friendly with a woman whom I later worked with. I found her to be so outstandingly bad at her job that I lost respect for her and ended up not really liking her at all. Then is there anything that companies should be doing about it?
By far the most effective strategy would be to hire people who are all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determinants of whether we like each other. I think this is a pretty good idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore without offending the diversity lobby group. There is only one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop creativity. This may be true, though I have never seen any conclusive proof of it.
Not only do we like similar people, we like people who like us. So if companies want to promote more liking, they should encourage a culture where we are all nice to each other. The trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.
【1】According to the research, which kind of colleagues would most people tend to choose?
A．Nice but unintelligent.
B．Creative but unattractive.
C．Competent but unfriendly.
D．Humorous but unambitious.
【2】The author talks about her experience to show that ______.
A．people respect outstanding leaders
B．people tend to like optimistic workmates
C．a workmate’s working ability is important
D．talkative workmates makes offices friendlier

A．offend each other
B．create fewer new ideas
C．talk more and work less
D．be likely to stick together
【4】To encourage workmates to like each other, companies could ______.
A．set more coffee machines in the work place
B．organize team-building activities outside the office
C．encourage a diversity of opinions in workplace
D．employ staff who have a lot in common

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many Chinese students have studied English for approximately ten years, but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently. In my opinion, there are several obstacles that have caused this to happen. The main obstacle is fear! Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences. Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language.
We must learn to speak as a child does. When we are learning a second language, we need to remember how we learned our native language. Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops. How does a child learn the language? He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words. Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement. Therefore, the child develops courage and is excited about learning. It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar, spelling or formal sentence structures.
As for language teachers, they should avoid criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise. Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking. The best way to motivate a student is using praise.
The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. When most Chinese people are asked how their English is, or they are told their English is very good, they immediately respond by saying, "Oh my English is very poor." If you say this to yourself often enough, you will believe it. When someone compliments(称赞) you, just say “thank you”.
