Waynesville，North Carolina Travel Guide
About 25 miles southwest of Asheville，Waynesville is the perfect western Carolina mountain
town with real charm．So why not visit it
Best Things to Do in Waynesville
·Make the short drive to Waterrock Knob，where you’ll find one of the best trails and views
in Western North Carolina．At 5，820 feet，it’s the highest visitor center along the Blue Ridge
Parkway．
·Go to Cataloochee Valley to see the elk（麋鹿）．The valley is filled with wildlife and
wildflowers．
·Visit Haywood’s Farmers Market，filled with local products from produce to cheese to
crafts．Fill up your bag with fresh fruit and sweet treats for a picnic around Lake Junaluska．
· Explore the Frog Level District located on Richland Creek，which features one-and
two-story brick and frame buildings from the early 1900s．
Best Time to Visit
Fall is the most popular time for Waynesville tourism．The bright oranges，yellows，and reds
of the fall leaves draw crowds from near and far— so you can expect the cost to mirror the
demand．Spring，however， is the best time to visit Waynesville if you want to enjoy pleasant
weather，and various fairs and festivals．
Where to Stay in Waynesville

{#{QQABAQiEggggAhBAABhCQQloCAIQkBECCIoGxEAEoAIAQQFABAA=}#}
You’ll feel at home instantly you pull up to The Yellow House on Plott Creek Road．Built in
the late 1800s．the hotel sits on five rolling acres of land，surrounded by walking paths，two ponds
and a stream．There’re ten rooms and suites and each has its own private bath，fireplace and sitting
area．
How to Get There
Asheville Regional Airport is the closest airport．If you’re flying into the area，you’ll need
your own transportation to travel around Waynesville．Downtown Waynesville is walkable but
exploring further out into the Blue Ridge Mountains requires a car．
21．Where will you most probably have a chance to admire ancient buildings
A．Waterrock Knob． B．Cataloochee Valley．
C．Frog Level District． D．Haywood’s Farmers Market．
22．What makes fall the most popular time to visit Waynesville

Melba Mebane never thought she’d retire from the department store she worked at for 74
years—until the traffic on her commut（e 通勤）became unbearable．The Dillard’s where she worked
in Tyler，Texas，was only a 15-minute drive from her house，but traffic could sometimes double the
commute，for which Mebane，now 91，no longer had the patience．Thus，she retired from her job
at Dillard’s．
Mebane began working as an“elevator girl”at the Mayer & Schmidt department store in 1949
when she was seventeen， through a work-study program at Tyler High School．The store was
acquired by Dillard’s in 1956．
She moved to the men’s clothing department，and later the cosmetics（化妆品）counter，
where she stayed until she retired．“There were gift baskets one of the girls just couldn’t sell，”says
Mebane．“They asked me to try，so I stepped out and talked to people about the baskets…I sold
every single one．So I was told that’s where I was staying．”
Mebane followed the same morning routine for 74 years：Waking up at 6：00 am，making a pot
of coffee，preparing a quick breakfast，and then getting to Dillard’s at 9：00 am sharp．“I loved
4
{#{QQABAQiEggggAhBAABhCQQloCAIQkBECCIoGxEAEoAIAQQFABAA=}#}
going to work every day．”says Mebane．“If you’re content with what you’re doing，why not keep
doing it ”
Her best advice for finding a good career is not to take a job simply because it pays well，
because“money can disappoint you，”Mebane warns．“Finding something you’re good at and
people you enjoy working with is so much more important．”
Since she started working at Dillard’s，Mebane had opportunities to become a manager，but
she always turned the offers down．“Nobody likes management，because they have to make tough
decisions，”she says．“I liked my friends at work，and I wanted to keep them，so I just focused on
being the best salesperson I could be．”
Many of Mebane’s former co-workers visit her in the retirement village where she has recently
moved，taking her out to lunch，the movies or shopping．
24．Why did Mebane decide to retire
A．She was bored with driving． B．She couldn’t stand the traffic．
C．She was impatient at work． D．She had difficulty communicating．
25．What do we know about Mebane from paragraph 3
A．She changed jobs frequently． B．She had strong responsibility．
C．She owned the sales potential． D．She was lucky in finding jobs．
26．What made Mebane devoted to her work at Dillard’s
A．Her interest． B．Her education．
C．The high pay． D．The chance for promotion．
27．What is Mebane’s suggestion for people wanting to be happier at work
A．Overcoming their weaknesses． B．Improving management skills．
C．Making decisions quickly． D．Focusing on their relationships．
C
Depleted forests are never out of the headlines， but do you know that several tech-led
techniques are being employed to improve reforestation and bring these lungs of nature，a key
source of oxygen in the atmosphere，back to life Nature news website，Mongabay， recently
devoted a mini-series to exploring the newest technological solutions that support worldwide
reforestation efforts，but not without pointing out that reforestation efforts often have weaknesses．
This Mongabay review speaks frankly about the blemishes of labor-intensive reforestation
efforts as poor planning leads to underreported tree planting outcomes．For example，perhaps trees
were planted where they didn’t suit the chosen habitats．
5
{#{QQABAQiEggggAhBAABhCQQloCAIQkBECCIoGxEAEoAIAQQFABAA=}#}
According to Mongabay， the challenge is to match rising demand for restoration with
ecologically sound，scalable（可扩展的）reforestation methods．“Scale is the biggest challenge to
restoration and reforestation projects worldwide，”said Charlotte Mills，chief ecologist at AirSeed
Technologies in Australia．The good news is that new tech solutions can help make tree planting at
scale easier，faster and more successful．
For instance，solar-powered，seed-planting robots，able to plant up to 600 trees in a morning，
are being carried out by conservationists working in the Peruvian Amazon．Drones（无人机）are
employed to drop seeds in precise areas，especially at remote and difficult-to-access sites．One
company operating them is Mast Reforestation，a Seattle-based one working on North America’s
conifer（针叶树）forests destroyed by logging，insects and wildfire
The Globe and Mail reports on how Canadian start-up，Flash Forest，uses drones that fire seeds
at a high speed into the soil．It has a great goal to go beyond changing forestry to slow down climate
change and finally conserve ecological diversity．
Sending people out on field monitoring to assess the health of new trees which take years to
mature is time-consuming and costly．Here，satellites are stepping up to provide large-scale data sets
over time on how huge reforested sites are going．Food giant Nestle announced in April 2023 that it’
s working to monitor its reforestation efforts long-term using satellites．
28．What does the underlined word“blemishes”in paragraph 2 mean
A．Dangers． B．Disadvantages． C．Features． D．Results．
29．Why does the author mention Charlotte Mills
A．To criticize the underdeveloped technologies．
B．To tell the rising demand for restoration．
C．To call on practicable reforestation methods．
D．To show the trouble with global reforestation．
30．What is Flash Forest’s biggest ambition
A．Preserving biodiversity． B．Making a change to forestry．
C．Dropping seeds at remote areas． D．Driving drones at high speeds．
31．What could be a suitable title for the text
A．Trees Are Suffering B．Forests Are Recovering
C．Technology for Trees D．Technique for Challenges
D
The sales temptation：Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects
6
{#{QQABAQiEggggAhBAABhCQQloCAIQkBECCIoGxEAEoAIAQQFABAA=}#}
of short wavelength light emitting from our smartphones，computer screens and LED lights．Given
how much time we spend on our devices，this sounds like a smart investment，right After all，eye
strain（疲劳）is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases．The glasses can cost
15 dollars all the way up to several hundred dollars．But do they work
Elizabeth Esparaz，an ophthalmologist（眼科专家）in Cleveland，Ohio，says the science that
manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing．For starters，blue light is not
just about tech devices．and it’s not always bad．“The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue
light than human-made devices，of course，and it’s actually beneficial，”says Dr．Esparaz．It helps
our mood，alertness and sleep-wake cycle．
The problem is blue light at night：It controls the release of melatonin（褪黑素）．“Melatonin
helps regulate our circadian rhythms（生理节奏）and makes us sleepy，”says Dr．Esparaz．So in
theory，wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read
from a tablet at night to avoid sleeplessness．A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma
found that people affected by sleep disorders，jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using
these glasses．
As for eye strain， a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not
experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses． And a 2018 review study also by
Australian researchers，found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases．
“These glasses aren’t going to be harmful，”says Dr．Esparaz．But，she adds，a lack of
standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another．A
more reliable solution：Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen
time before bed．To help with eye strain，Dr．Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating
eye drops．
32．What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs
A．It may facilitate sleep． B．It actually causes severe health issues．
C．It can be of benefit in some aspects． D．It merely comes from digital devices．
33．Who will benefit from the glasses according to the studies
A．People under great pressure B．People experiencing eye strain
C．People with eye diseases D．People suffering from sleep disorders
34．Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses_______．
A．doesn’t contribute to less eye strain B．benefits those affected by shift work
C．is not harmful to eyesight D．helps prevent eye disease
7
{#{QQABAQiEggggAhBAABhCQQloCAIQkBECCIoGxEAEoAIAQQFABAA=}#}
35．What might be the best title of this passage
A．Blue-light-blocking glasses：Your Best Choice
B．Blue-light-blocking glasses：Good or Bad
C．Blue-light-blocking glasses：AGood Business
D．Blue-light-blocking glasses：Smart and Cool

Are you trying to figure out what to write about for your college application essay To help
you get started in the essay writing process，here are a few suggestions that can help you work
through it．
Identify key themes you want to convey．
Are there two or three things you want to make sure the readers of your application know about
In answering this question，go beyond the obvious．Don’t just repeat information that can be found
elsewhere in your application． 36
Reflect on your most memorable life experiences．
37 A group of students just returned from a two-week tour of Europe with great pictures
and wonderful stories．Two years from now，when they begin writing their college applications，
they should reflect less on where they went and what they saw，but reflect more on how some
aspects of the experience shaped them．
38
You might rack your brain all day trying to come up with clever ideas，but the best stuff
emerges in those misty， subconscious moments just before you sleep! Push back the sleep long
enough to write down your new inspirations immediately．
Reveal—don’t tell．
It is best not to recite the facts of your life directly． 39 Not long ago，a college professor
told college applicants that US colleges value diversity of thought in their classrooms． The
application essay is your opportunity to reveal that element of diversity that can be found uniquely
within you．
Read a lot!
Quite often，essay writers are limited in their ability to understand their place in the world in
which they live．Break out of that shell by reading news stories and editorials． 40 Biographies

{#{QQABAQiEggggAhBAABhCQQloCAIQkBECCIoGxEAEoAIAQQFABAA=}#}
ale also great sources! I have found increasing inspiration from the life stories of people who have
risen from relative obscurity（默默无闻）to make significant contributions as thinkers and doers．
A．How have they shaped you
B．How can you overcome them
C．Correct the mistakes again and again．
D．Better yet，read books that make you think．
E．Keep a pen or pencil and paper beside your bed．
F．Instead，take the readers to understand you between the lines．
G．Take the opportunity to provide the most important messages．

Emotions are different enough to feel out of 50 when you move from one culture to
another．The professor at the University of Michigan meant to make me feel 51 ，but instead
made me uncomfortable．My friends meant to show 52 ，but they made me think they were

The annual Halloween arrived，during which kids dressed in traditional clothes went to
neighbors’houses to ask for candy．
Allison lived in a small town．That day after dinner，Allison put on her dress her father had just
bought for her．The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor．But Allison still
thanked her dad and said．“Everyone will love my dress!”Then，she left for neighbors’houses to ask
for candy．
On the way，she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them．“No! Look at your
dress! It’s ugly!”Anna said．Her friends also laughed．“Look at our dresses，especially mine! It’s
new and beautiful，”Anna added．Her friends nodded，and in some way they were right．Anna’s
dress was shiny and looked expensive．She always had the best clothes because her parents were
rich．
Allison was shocked and sad．The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it．“You
can’t come with US!”Anna stressed．“We would never hang out with you!”The other kids agreed
and laughed．They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone，
embarrassed in the middle of the street．
Anyway，she knew all the neighbors．She often helped around carrying their groceries and
helping them with their gardens．People around there knew her．She didn’t need to hang out with
Anna or her friends． “I’ll go just alone，”the little girl said to herself and started walking．
She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction：towards their first neighbor
Mrs Vaughan’s house．But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them．And she
stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house．
11
{#{QQABAQiEggggAhBAABhCQQloCAIQkBECCIoGxEAEoAIAQQFABAA=}#}
Just then，Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window．She noticed that Allison was being
excluded by Anna and her friends．She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress．She
immediately felt pity for Allison，who often helped her and other neighbors．She decided to give
Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson．
