Here are some beautiful classic road-tripping routes in California.

Pacific Coast Highway (PCH)

There are wonderful options including dramatic sea cliffs, sun-soaked surfing towns, playful harbor seals and the Golden Gate Bridge. You’d better avoid driving here in the spring and summer months, when the central and northern coastline can be socked in by fog and the rainy season can lead to landslides. Instead, September and October will yield the sunniest skies and some of the best weather as you spend a week checking this beauty off your bucket list.

Highway 49 (Hwy 49)

That highway number is significant: It is in memory of the 49 people who came seeking for fortune in California’s original Gold Rush. Today the route winds through Gold Country towns such as Placerville and Nevada City, past ghostly Old West mines and Victorian buildings. Hwy 49 comes mighty close to Yosemite National Park (15 miles) and Lake Tahoe (75 miles), both of which are good places for family camping.

Route 66

Enjoy your trip on America’s “Mother Road”, which brought Dust Bowl refugees, Holly-wood starlets and hippies to California. Drive slowly from the desert to the Pacific Ocean, pulling up alongside retro relics, sleeping in a tipi hotel and fueling up in neon-lit diners. Avenue of the Giants

The incredible 32-mile road at Humboldt Redwoods State Park is canopied by the world’s tallest trees. It’s one of the most justifiably celebrated drives in California. The best time is in the morning when sunlight glints off dew-drenched ferns. Among the majestic (壮观的) woods along the Avenue, there is an interesting four-sided hearth, designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan. Walking trails wind through all the woods for proper tree-hugging.

1. Why should we avoid driving on the PCH in spring and summer?
A.It is too hot.B.It can be windy.
C.It may be dangerous.D.It is too crowded.
2. Which road is used to honour people looking for fortune in Gold Rush with its name?
A.Pacific Coast Highway.B.Highway 49.
C.Route 66.D.Avenue of the Giants.
3. What is the purpose of the walking trails in the majestic woods?

文章大意:本文是说明文。文章主要讲述旅游业在带动当地经济发展的同时也会产生诸多问题。文章建议我们在旅游时尽可能做最好、最友善、最懂礼貌的游客。

【推荐1】Be a Good Tourist

Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.

    1     Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK and many, many other places.     2     If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love.

Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life.     3     For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies.     4     Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.

The number of problems from tourists is endless. The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one!     5    

A.Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.
B.I have three words for people like this: please stop it.
C.Another example is Sanlitun, a neighbourhood in Beijing, China.
D.Walk in large groups without considering others who need to walk by.
E.Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”.
F.One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination.
G.Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without their permission.
