Before you start to pack the car, let these five signature drives inspire your plans and wanderlust. No.1: America' s Highway: ROUTE 66 Historic Route 66 is the quintessential American experience. “It's not the road and it's not the attractions - it's the people," says CEO of Mother Road Enterprises Jim Conkle. “It' s really a collection of cultures and languages. If you travel Route 66 and don't immerse yourself with the people, you’re missing the key to the whole experience," he says. No.2: Ultimate FLORIDA BEACH Trip With 1 ,350 miles of unbroken coastline, Florida is America' s undisputed ( 不 容 置 疑 的 ) sandand-surf playground. The top beach in Florida - in fact, in all of America－is Siesta Key, just south of Sarasota. If you ’ve never heard of it, perhaps that’s because Floridians try to keep this most-coveted secret to themselves. Siesta Key is one of many not-too-crowded beaches you'll find on this drive along Florida Sun Coast. No.3: lowa's GREAT RIVER ROAD The Mississippi River is our most inspiring natural landmark. The water is the star of the trip, but the scenery throughout Iowa puts on its own show. A three-hour drive north of Keokuk brings you to LeClaire, birthplace of Buffalo Bill Cody and home to the museum that honors both his contributions as an explorer of the West and the Native Americans he met. No.4: Five in One Drive: NATIONAL PARKS Sculpted by wind and water over thousands of years, the remote canyons and plateaus (高原) of southeastern Utah were among the last parts of the American West to be seen by drivers from the East. Today, that rugged (多岩石的) landscape is home to some of the most popular national parks in the country. Collectively known as the Mighty Five ， they offer dramatic desert landscapes, soaring arches, deep slot canyons, and reach-for-the-sky rocky spires. No.5: History & Foliage: NEW ENGLAND New England vacationers essentially want two things: a little bit of history and a lot of leaves. You'll find them both on Massachusetts' s Mohawk Trail, one of the nation's first designated scenic highways. The Mohawk people once used this byway across the Berkshire Hills as a trading route, and armies from Colonial Boston traveled it to defend the western frontier. 21.

Armies from Colonial Boston traveled across the Berkshire Hills to protect the western frontier. B Peggy, a nine-year-old border collie (柯利牧羊犬), was signed over to the RSPCA (皇家防 止 虐待动物协会) after her handler could no longer communicate with her. He thought she could no longer work because she was not able to hear whistles or voice commands. However, after being handed to the RSPCA, Peggy was taken in by Chloe Shorten, an animal welfare manager from the organization ’s mid-Norfolk and north Suffolk branch. Shorten, 28, and her husband Jason, 34, a shepherd, taught Peggy to understand hand signals and body language. The couple trained Peggy with the help of a sheepdog trainer and their two other working dogs, Sid and Nora. Shorten said: “We completely fell in love with Peggy almost immediately, and it soon became clear that she wouldn't be going anywhere. We knew Peggy wanted to be working, so we started the long process of teaching her how to herd and work with a shepherd without relying on voice commands." The couple began by training Peggy to look at them to receive hand signals. “We used repetitive and positive reinforcement (加强) and instead of pairing a verbal command with an action we’d use a hand gesture. She reads our hand signals and body language as a way of telling what we’re asking for. For example,
