22、The Blue Ridge Parkway is a beautiful spot for a fall getaway. Driving along the parkway, people can see more than 100 species of trees and their leaves changing color. The 469-mile roadway passes through six mountain chains in the Appalachians in Virginia and North Carolina.
The parkway has a top speea limit of 45 mph to allow visitors to slow down and enjoy the scenery. The parkway also offers many opportunities to get out of the car and hike the parkway’s 369 miles of trails. There are also places to bike camp and explore cultural sites. The scenic roadway also features many historical structures, such as log cabins and railways, It is considered a museum of the American countryside.
Unlike most national parks, the parkway is a planned landscape. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt suggested a “park-to-park” highway to connect Shenandoah National Park to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Construction started September 11, 1935, and was completed in 1987.
“We usually tell folks to expect peak leaf color in mid-October,” says Amy Ney, who works with the parkway to encourage people to visit.
Ney says many things affect when the leaves change color. The elevation, or how high up the trees are in the mountains, is one thing. The highest part of the parkway is 6,053 feet. Leaves start changing there first, Ney says. The leaves lower down change later. “The amount of rainfall, daytime sunshine and nighttime temperature also add to the equation(因素). Fall storms can often blow the leaves right off the trees,” she adds.
Ney recommends that travelers visit a long section of the parkway with a variety of heights. She suggests people stop at trails or overlooks with good views. “You can see leaves at different elevations and have a greater opportunity to see fall color,” she says.

23、Once there was a king in Africa who had a close friend. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) and saying, “This is good!”

24、Lenin Gutierrez was working his usual shift Starbucks when he noticed a customer, Amber Lynn Gilles, wasn’t wearing a face mask. San Diego County requires all residents to wear face masks in public places, including restaurants. According to the county, “Everyone should help protect others by following health orders.”
So when Gutierrez noticed Gilles wasn’t wearing a mask, he decided to follow the county’s guidelines. But it didn’t work out too well for him at first.
Gutierrez said he couldn’t serve her. This angered the woman, who has been referred to as “Karen” on social media. She cursed him before he had the chance to explain the county’s regulations. Then, she posted a picture of Gutierrez wearing a mask on Facebook, complaining that she wasn’t served when she walked into the coffee shop without wearing a mask.
Gilles probably thought she was going to attract attention with positive remarks about her, but it was just the opposite. Social media users supported Gutierrez, who was following the county’s order.
Within days after Gilles made her Facebook post, Matt Cowan created a GoFundMe page for Gutierrez. He described, “Raising money for Lenin for his honorable effort standing his ground when faced with a Karen in the wild.” Every donation made would be considered a “personal gift” to the barista (咖啡服务员).
Cowan didn’t think that many people would donate money, but he was quickly proven wrong. He added, “Everybody is rallying around (集体声援) somebody for doing what they’re supposed to do and trying to protect everyone else.”
Cowan plans to give the money to Gutierrez, who can then decide how he wants to use the donation. Gutierrez posted a video on his personal Facebook page, thanking everyone who donated money. With the donation, he can pursue his dream of becoming a dancer.
