Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills. These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskills hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today’s visitors. Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of Public Information.

In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy. From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often. We try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them. Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed. No more angry shouts and no more horns! When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. “ And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

Mr. Jones had always wanted to make a trip into the middle of Africa to shoot wild animals.【C1】______first he had no enough money, and then he was married. His wife had not wanted him to leave her. At last his wife agreed to the trip if he allowed her to go, too. “ But it will be very uncomfortable, “ Mr. Jones warned her. “ It will be very hot and we shall live in a tent, and it【C2】______be dangerous. ““I don’t care. “ said his wife. “I want to go with you. “ So they bought a big tent, camp beds, a refrigerator (电冰箱) which did not need【C3】______and many other things which would make the trip comfortable, and went off to the【C4】______of Africa. The first morning, before Mr. Jones took his gun and left the tent, he【C5】______his wife a bell and explained to her, “If you fell in danger and you need me, ring this bell and I’ll come at once. “ After a few minutes, he heard the bell and returned【C6】______to the tent. “What’s the matter?“ he asked. “Nothing“ said his wife, “I was only trying the bell. “ Mr. Jones went off, but after a quarter of an hour, the bell rang【C7】______. Mr. Jones hurried back to the tent, but his wife said, “I’m sorry. I was cleaning our tent, and I knocked the bell over by mistake. “ Mr. Jones returned to his【C8】______, but soon he heard the bell once more. This time, when he got back to his【C9】______the tent was burning and Mrs. Jones was lying on the ground, with【C10】______running from a big cut on her shoulder. “That’s better!“ said Mrs. Jones. “This time the bell had been used correctly!“

The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigor from its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to them, unless they are unusually callous. I do not mean that one should be without interest in them, but one’s interest should be contemplative and, if possible, philanthropic, but not unduly emotional. Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves, but human beings, owing to the length of infancy, find this difficult.
