10、sThe United States is full of odd roadside attractions. Route 66 is home to some of the oldest and most known attractions of them all. Here are four attractions you should see along the Mother Road:1. Paul Bunyan and a Hot DogRoute 66 travelers pass by many fiberglass giants（巨人）right along the road.

11、 These giants were a popular form of advertising in the 1960s.Many of them stood in 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 fibergla

12、ss giant was a “Paul Bunyan” figure, built in the early 1960s. Its said that Paul Bunyan is a famous wood worker.2. Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica RayCrown 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, Mi

13、ssouri. The family-run soda fountain shop opened more than 100 years ago, and has been making candies and meals ever since.On weekends, people sometimes wait in line for a table at Crown Candy for over an hour. Luckily there is free entertainment right outside. Jamaica Ray, a local folk artist, crea

14、tes unusual sculptures.3. The Worlds Largest Rocking ChairFanning, 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 2020 on the first of April, or April Fools Day. At one time the chair actuall

15、y rocked. But officials decided it had to be still 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 Texans Steak ChallengeFew places better represent the common expression “Everythings Bigger

16、 in Texas” than the Big Texan Steak Ranch. 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 Texans special deal, and what has made this steak ranch famou

17、s: a “free” 72-ounce（英两）or 2-kilogram 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 s

Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica Ray.C. The Worlds Largest Rocking Chair.D. Big Texans Steak Challenge.23. If you visit The

20、xan Steak Ranch is the biggest restaurant in Texas.D. The daring diners sit around at a special table in the restaurant.BThese days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.Look at these words chosen by The Washin

21、gton Post: “David Bowie dying is totes tradge,” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh.” Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally”. Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”.

22、 It seems that, for millennials（千禧一代）, typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable.As you can see, many millennial slangs（俚语）are formed by so-called “totesing”the systematic abbreviation（缩写）of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes”, but it now has spread

23、to many other English words.The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than “totesing”.“Bae”, for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with ones romantic partner or, like “sweetheart”, for someone without romantic connection.

24、 After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist（语言学家）Rosey Billington doesnt agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, th

25、ey show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots.It isnt simply an adult version of baby talk, nor

26、 a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speakers mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.25. Why do young people like using e-slangs?A. They are time-consuming.B. They are i

27、n fashion.C. They are complex.D. They are in order.26. Whats the authors purpose of mentioning “Bae” in Paragraph 5?A. To support that totesing is no baby talk.B. To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.C. To inform people how it became mainstream.D. To explain the complex origins of millennial sl

28、angs.27. Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?A. Totesing is a loosely organized system.B. Millennial slangs lower the value of English.C. Its simply a clever way to reduce the word count.D. Totes-speak requires a good command of English.28. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Millenni

46、rs, used to be the glue that held society together. 36 Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.Opening the DoorIn days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. 37 This has now almost entirely disappea

47、red-and it is not entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism（大男子主义）.Writing Thank-You NotesIn days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. 38 Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.39We seem to have completely lost the concept of correc
