Garden Route, South Africa
Take in fresh sea air in this beautiful coastal setting as you cruise the famous Garden Route in the Western Cape in South Africa. A wildlife break is a must, as is enjoying great meal stops along the route. There are wildlife reserves throughout the Graden Route National Park you can swing into and spend a sleepy morning in a car looking for giraffes and lions. And just over your shoulder in the big blue there are whales to be watched (if the season is right).
Top tip: Add a trip to the Eastern Cape to your Garden Route trip. It is much less known than the Western Cape and full of great landscapes. The gas station is occasionally seen.
Great Ocean Road, Australia
Sweep along this dramatic coastal road in Austrlia with views of the Southern Ocean from Geelong to Portland, in Victoria, and you won’t regret it. Anyone who has driven it just can’t stop talking about it, and with good reason. There’re loads to see and plenty of great stops. There’s whale-watching here too, and other natural life. And to top it all, there’ll be plenty of good old Aussie kindness and welcome when you pull in for lunch or a coffee stop.
Top tip: Rent an open-top car so you can really drink in that sea air.
Stelvio Pass, Italy
If you like snake-like paths and mountain passes, you’ll love this. Stelvio in Italy. The mountain slopes stretch away on either side of the road, with snow-topped peaks within sight. There’s a great view down the pass. And from the top, it’s just a short sweep away from the Swiss border, so if you are gripped by mountain road driving, you can drive from here down to Swiss ski resort of Davos. Stelvio has 48 hairpins(急弯) on the north side and 12 on the descent(陡坡) to Bormio, so this route is not recommended for new drivers, or those with a fear of heights. This descent is often featured in the Giro d’Italia, the Italian version of the Tour de France, so you may have glimpsed it on the television.
Top Tip: Take some Swiss Francs as well as some Euros, so you can make the trip a cross-border experience.
45．In which travel routes can one enjoy whale watching?
A．Stelvio Pass, Italy and Garden Route, South Africa.
B．Great Ocean Road, Australia and Stelvio Pass, Italy.

.
A．introduce a new route to the drivers

.
A．it’s more winding and challenging
B．it’s safe and more suitable for new drivers
C．it has lots of wild animals on either side of the road

In a village near Nuremberg lived a family with eighteen children. Merely to keep food on the table, the goldsmith father worked eighteen hours a day. Despite their
21
condition, two of Durer's children had a dream to seek their talent for
22
, but they knew well their father would never be able to send
23
of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
The two boys finally worked out an agreement. They would toss（扔） a coin. The

25
the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, financed his brother,

work at the academy was almost an

success. Albrecht's woodcuts and oils were

better than those of his professors and he soon was earning considerable fees

his works.
When the young

returned home, the Durer family held a festive dinner. Albrecht rose to toast to his beloved brother, "Now, Albert, it is your
31
to seek your dream. I will support you."
All heads turned to the far end of the table, where Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, while he

and repeated, "No ...no." Finally, Albert rose and

34
go to Nuremberg, brother. It is too late for me. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and I cannot even hold a glass to
35
your toast."
Today, Albrecht Durer's masterful works
36
in every great museum in the world, but chances are great
37
you, like most people, are familiar with only one of them. Albrecht Durer drew his brother's abused hands with palms together and thin
38
stretched skyward. He
39
it "The Praying Hands."
Next time you see that touching creation, take a second look. Let it be your reminder, if you still need one, that no one ever makes it

If environmental trends continue on a positive track, some day children may ask, “Mommy, what was pollution?” But between that day and ours stands the environmental problem: global warming. Fighting an artificial greenhouse effect is the greatest of environmental challenges, because the cure will not be possible unless almost every nation on the Earth participates.
Will global warming cause harm? Some computer models suggest the world might warm by 5 degrees or more during this century, which might be dangerous. Melting polar ice could raise sea levels, while global warming might cause more intense storms and disrupt the weather patterns that bring rain to agricultural regions. Computer models are just a guess, of course, but when the farming areas that we all depend upon for food rely on current temperatures, rolling the dice (骰子) with the climate cannot be wise. Yet today the United States has no national law regulating greenhouse gases.
There are methods to reduce global warming. For instance, individuals can make lifestyle changes. Replace an SUV with a regular car; an SUV gives off 100 tons of greenhouse gases over its lifetime, which is far more than a car does. Moderate your use of home heating and air conditioning, most of which is powered by fossil fuels, and upgrade appliances to energy-saving models. Besides, emissions (排放) trading is a good measure. In 1990, rising levels of acid rain were considered an emergency problem. Congress passed an emissions-trading program, which allowed industrial managers to buy and sell permits to emit a limited amount of pollutants that cause acid rain. The acid-rain trading program created a financial motivation to invent technology to reduce acid rain; if a factory or power plant cut its emissions below the limit, it could sell the extra credits at a profit. Once there was money to be made by reducing acid rain, human creativity came into play. The results were spectacular.
