     MONEY-SAVING TIPS FOR DINEY WORLD
     Every time you visit Disney World, there's something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic
Kingdom now includes the high-techs movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands
(扩大), so do your chances to spend money. How can you save? As a family guide to Disney World, I've
developed a few money-saving plans. 
     ■ Buy the five-day All-in One Hopper Pass (入场券). Even if you're visiting for fewer days, it's a deal
(the pass costs $ 229 for visitors ages 10 and up, $ 183for kids ages three to nine and is free for kids under
age three). Without the pass, you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water-parks. A single
trip to Blizzard Beach, for example, would cost a family of four $ 100.
     ■ Dine out at lunch. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants, especially those in Epcot's World
Showcase, are much lower at noontime than at dinner. It's wise to make reservations (预定) before you
leave home. Call 407-W-DISNEY. 
     ■ Become a Gold Card Member, For $ 65, you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1-800-56-
DISNEY), Card holders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms, plus price breaks on character
breakfaster, theme park (主题公园) ticket and goods from Disney stores, 
     ■ Don't pay extra to see a character. Character-theme dinner shows are expensive, costing a family of
four about $ 140.and even a character breakfast, where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes, can set
you back
$ 50. If your budget (预算) is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free
in-park shows. You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show, for example, in the Magic Kingdom for no
additional cost while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets, 
     ■ Wait until the end of your trip to buy souvenirs (纪念品). By then, the kids will really know what they
want, and they won't waste money on expensive things.
1. The underlined phrase "set you back: in the passage probably means _____.
A. offer you
B. save you
C. return you
D. cost you
2. You should pay more money _____.
A. if you have a five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass while you're visiting for four days
B. if you do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance
C. if you have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot's World Showcase
D. if you are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder
3. The economical (经济的) way of meeting the Disney cartoon characters is _____.
A. to have a character breakfast
B. to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show
C. to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks
D. to attend the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

  Modcm inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly.Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour.Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed.Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending.Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks.

  All this saves timc, but at a prick.When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so.We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul's in painti ninrts and fingers.Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about.

  Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems.We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time.Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world.

  There was a time when some people's lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle.No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern.There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this.Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;:they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone.Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee.

认真阅读下列短文,根据所读内容在文章后表格中填入恰当的单词。注意:表格中每个空格只填1个词。
     The history of Chinese calligraphy is probably as long as that of China itself.Calligraphy is a special
category in China’s world of fine arts.Through the centuries Chinese characters have changed constantly
and are mainly divided  into five categories today:the seal script(zhuan shu),official script(li shu),regular
script(kai shu),running script(xing shu)and cursive script(cao shu). 
     Calligraphy involves a great deal of theory and requires many skills.Among the most outstanding
calligraphers in ancient China were Wang Xizhi,Ouyang Xun,Yan Zhenqing,and Liu Gongquan,who are
known for pioneering their own styles.
     In writing calligraphy,one will need a brush,paper,an ink stick and an ink stone,commonly referred to
as the “Four Treasures of the Study”.There are different types of brushes.White goat hair,black rabbit hair and yellow weasel hair brushes are the main ones.According to their function,brushes are classified into
three groups:hard,soft and medium.Brush sticks are usually made of bamboo,wood,or porcelain;ivory or
jade sticks are rare and precious.
     The ink stick is a unique pigment used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy.The most famous
ink stick is hui mo(Anhui ink stick),made from pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province.Clean water is needed to grind the ink stick.Press the ink stick hard and rub it lightly,slowly and evenly
against the ink slab to make thick,liquid ink.
     While paper comes in many varieties,Xuan paper, produced  in Xuanzhou(today’s Anhui Province),is
considered the best for Chinese calligraphy.The paper is soft and fine textured,suitable for conveying the
artistic expression of both Chinese calligraphy and painting.With a good tensile strength and moth proof
quality,the paper can be preserved for a long time.
     Ink stones or ink slabs have been classified into three categories:Duan,She and Tao.Features common
to all three are hardness and fineness.Although the stone is hard and fine,it is not dry or slippery.Using a
hard and smooth stone,liquid ink can be produced easily by rubbing the ink stick against the stone.
     By handling the brush and ink skillfully and carefully,the artist can produce an infinite variety of
calligraphic styles and forms.
