I hope reading it will remind him what a miracle he is and how blessed I feel to be his mother. How I missed my little guy! Each page in his school years book had a small school photo for

31、that grade stuck to it. If I turned the pages fast, like a homemade cartoon book, I could see the transformation from pre-school to high school. It was like watching him change into an adult right before my eyes. This unexpected trip down memory lane was the best way I could think of to spend my Sa

52、st and most known attractions of them all. Here are four attractions you should see along the Mother Road： 1．Paul Bunyan and a Hot Dog Route 66 travelers pass by many fiberglass giants (巨人) right along the road. These giants were a popular form of advertising in the 1960s. Many of them stood in

53、front of service stations. They held car parts, such as mufflers. The collection of Route 66 giants became known as “Muffler Men”．Businesses hoped the strange statues would get travelers’ attention. The first fiberglass giant was a “Paul Bunyan” figure，built in the early 1960s. It’s said that

54、 Paul Bunyan is a famous woodworker. 2．Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica Ray Crown Candy Kitchen has been serving Route 66 travelers from the very beginning. It is just a few short blocks from the 66 path through St. Louis, Missouri. The family-run soda fountain shop opened more than 100 years a

55、go, and has been making candies and meals ever since. On weekends, people sometimes wait in line for a table at Crown Candy Kitchen for over an hour. Luckily there is free entertainment right outside. Jamaica Ray, a local folk artist, creates unusual sculptures. 3．The World’s Largest Rocking Cha

56、ir Fanning, Missouri, is home to one of the strangest Route 66 attractions. Just off the road sits an almost 13-meter-tall rocking chair. The structure was completed in 2008 on the first of April，or April Fool’s Day. At one time the chair actually rocked. But officials decided it had to be still

57、 to be safe for ever. People are not permitted to climb the chair. We think, however, that it probably happens once in a while when no one is watching. 4．Big Texan’s Steak Challenge Few places better represent the common expression “Everything’s Bigger in Texas” than the Big Texan Steak Ran

58、ch. Since 1960, it has appealed to travelers with big appetites and a big love of beef. It is hard to miss the huge yellow restaurant or the giant cow statue that sits out front. The cow advertises Big Texan’s special deal, and what has made this steak ranch famous: a “free” 72-ounce(盎司) or 2-kilo

59、gram steak. There is one trick: the steak is only free if you can eat the entire thing in one hour. A special table is in the middle of the restaurant for the daring diners who accept the challenge. Since 1990, more than 9，000 diners have eaten the entire 2-kilogram steak. 【解題導(dǎo)語】　本文介紹了美國66號(hào)公路沿線的四個(gè)

66、hear？Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie，and for us too，listening is not only hearing，but is understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid，and also how it is said. It’s important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(螢火蟲)．”If you miss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately，ask the speakers.At this point you’r
