37、y tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels thatsprang up in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heatof New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so eachsummer. By the late 1950s there were over 50

38、0 resorts and hotels offering nighttimeentertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason,Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introductionof air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have

39、 stopped coming to the Catskillsin such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year.Many of the Catskills hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded andchangedtheir facilities to meet the needs of today svisitors.文檔Currently, there are man

40、y activities available to the traveler besides witnessing thechanging colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how atraditional sheep farm operates.

57、attitudes.

To a childwho had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher s

60、method of handling such aunit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.The media through which the teacher can develop wholesome attitudes are innumerable.Social studies (with special reference to races, creeds and nationalities), science matters of healthand safety, the very atmosphere of
