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
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 n 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 commute (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 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 warned 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 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.
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 lime 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
After losing an important deal in India, a business negotiator learned that her counterpart (对方) felt as if she had been rushing through the talks. The business negotiator thought she was being efficient with their time. Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case, the barrier prevented a successful outcome.
Research shows that deal-making across cultures lends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know, cultures are characterized by different behaviors, communication styles, and norms (准则). Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views lo the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of discovering value-creating solutions.
Cultural conflict in negotiations is linked with the fact that we, at most times, interpret others’ behaviors, values, and beliefs through the lens (透镜) of our own culture. To overcome this, it is important to research the customs and behaviors of different cultures as well as understand why people follow these customs and exhibit these behaviors in the first place.
Just as important, not only do countries have unique cultures, but teams and organizations do, too. Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs—whether the culture of his culture, the culture of engineering, or his particular company’s corporate culture. The more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation.
Therefore, we see the negotiator has learned her Indian counterpart would have appreciated a slower pace with more opportunities for relationship building. She seems to have run into the issue: Using time efficiently in the course of negotiations is generally valued in the United States, but in India, there’s often a greater focus on building relationships early in the process. By doing research on the clients’ cultures, they can adjust their negotiation method and give themselves a better chance of creating a valuable negotiation experience for both themselves and their counterpart.
32. What resulted in the businesswoman’s failure in her negotiation in India
A. Her slow work style. B. Their personal conflicts of interests.
C. Her poor communication capacity. D. The differences between their cultures.
33. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The analyses about the findings of the research.
B. The deep reasons for failed cross-culture negotiations.
C. The common misunderstandings in negotiations.
D. The causes of conflicts between negotiators’ views.
34. What does the author mainly want to say in paragraph 4
A. Research is necessary before negotiating.
B. People should respect cultural differences.
C. Meeting cultural differences is fairly common.
D. Cross-culture conflicts result from ignorance.
35. What is the function of the last paragraph
A. To come up with a new conclusion.
B. To recommend a negotiation method.
C. To summarize the above paragraphs.
D. To share different opinions on the example

In today’s world, people are used to immediate satisfaction like fast meals from the microwave or from ordering takeout on your smart phone. But patience, the ability to be able to wait for outcomes, is a skill that is necessary for you to be successful in school, work and life, according to an article on the life coaching website Better Up. Being patient allows you to exercise self-control when things are not going your way. 36 . Here are four ways it can benefit you.
Patience helps you achieve your goals. 37 . You cannot accomplish long-term goals in your relationships or career without being patient. You need to know when it is the time to step back and analyze the situation, re-evaluate your goal, and choose a new path forward.
Patience helps you to become more empathetic. Having empathy—the ability to understand and accept the feelings of others—is an important part of being patient, according to a blog on Wisdom Times, 38 .
Patience helps to make you mentally healthier. Being patient teaches you to regulate your emotions, according to Better Up. 39 . Keeping calm and being stress-free can help your overall mental and physical happiness.
40 . When things aren’t going your way, whether large or small, having patience will keep you from becoming depressed. According to Forbes, basketball great Michael Jordan missed more than 9,000 shots and lost nearly 300 games in his athletic career. If he didn’t have the patience to accept failure, he would have quit and he never would have become one of the greatest athletes.
A. Patience gives you a positive attitude
B. It allows you to work to be your best
C. Patience helps you to become more flexible
D. You will be able to survive failures and start again
E. Accepting people as they are makes you a better person
F. It helps you experience fewer negative emotions that lead to stress
G. The road to success isn’t something that can be immediately achieved

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the end of the fifth grade, there was a burst of excitement in the classroom. The school year was almost over, and we would be moving on to a new school for the sixth grade. All the girls made autograph books (签名册) and collected signatures.
As I signed my classmates’ books, I noticed their moms had written in them, too. Such sweet thoughts were expressed, “I couldn’t be prouder of you. Can’t wait to see how you like junior high!” “You’re graduating. Congratulations! We love you and know you have a bright future!”...
I asked my mother to sign mine, too. She was busy, but she said she’d sign it. Several days later, when I asked about it, she told me she just forgot. Anyway, she handed it back to me later. I was anxious to see what encouraging words she had written. And this is what I found on the page:
When a thing is first begun,
Never leave it till it’s done.
Be the labor great or small,
Do it well or not at all.
Mom
My heart sank. That was it I was disappointed that there were no words of pride or encouragement. It was just a stupid poem—another indication to me that if I couldn’t be perfect, I wasn’t good enough.
I held back my tears, not expressing my disappointment.
That page in that handmade book bothered me for years.
I battled perfectionism and low self-respect and never felt good enough for most of my life. Many times, I gave up on things after I barely got started. All I could hear was “You’re not good enough.”
When my mother was in her eighties and in a nursing home, I gave her a book to fill out so we could know more about her. It had hints (暗示) at the top of each page and then blank space to respond. I wanted her to write down her memories and a lifetime of experiences, so I, along with her grandchildren, would have some precious sections of her life.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In the beginning, she was very excited. _________________________________________________________

M: This is the local daily news. More than hall of British airline pilots say they have fallen asleep during flight, a survey said yesterday. According to BALPA, the British Airline Pilots’ Association, 300 out of 500 pilots surveyed admitted being asleep during work. And one third of these sleeping pilots said that they had woken up to find their co-pilot also asleep.
Pilot exhaustion became the headlines and aroused public concern this week when a newspaper reported two pilots on a British flight fell asleep, leaving the full plane traveling automatically in the air. The survey came before the European governments decide on the air rule changes.
The rule changes would mean that pilots could work a total of 110 hours in a two-week period, more than the 95 hour limit under the current regulations and at night pilots could be expected to fly for up to 11 hours, against a current 10-hour limit.
Many people are worried about the changes. Tiredness is already a major challenge for pilots who are deeply concerned that the new EU rules will increase levels of tiredness, which is believed to be the leading cause for air accidents, beating mechanical faults and natural threats such as storms or fogs.

32. D 细节理解题。根据第一段“Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case, the barrier prevented a successful outcome.”可知，文化差异导致了生意谈判失败。
33. B段落大意题。第二段主要内容是：研究表明，与在同一文化中进行的谈判相比，跨文化的交易往往会导致更糟糕的结果。因文化不同，故当跨文化谈判时，我们会把不同的观点带到谈判桌上，这会导致潜在的误解。这些误解可能导致发现解决方案的可能性降低。故该段主要讲述的是跨文化谈判失败的深层原因。

第一节
One possible version:
My Favourite Food
Of all the foods I have ever tried, stinky tofu is my favourite.
I like it because of its unique flavour and smell! As the name suggests, the smell is terrible but surprisingly, the taste is actually quite mild—it tastes like fried tofu with less of the bean flavour. The sauce makes it taste even more delicious. As I take each bite, the crisp and juicy flavour slowly fills my mouth. How can I forget such a tasty snack
Whenever I feel unhappy. I cat this snack and it does make me feel better.
第二节
One possible version:
In the beginning she as very excited. She’d call me to tell me that she was working on it. After several weeks, though, she stopped mentioning the book, so I asked about it. Then she said. “Oh, I was busy chatting with my friends in the nursing home, forgetting about it. But I will work on it again.” I guessed, it got boring for her and that she just didn’t like writing anything to me, especially something encouraging or what she had experienced.
One day I went to the nursing home to see her, only to find her sleeping, with the book lying beside her. I picked it up and sat down to read through it. Once again, I felt disappointment—she’d only filled out ten pages. I was about to shut the book when I saw something reading. “What’s the best advice you got from your mom ” Her response was what she’d written in my autograph book. I read it slowly, seeing it in a new light. Then I came to realize Mom just encouraged me to do things well in her own way!
