How to save money to visit Shanghai Disneyland?

The “happiest place on earth” is a top destination on many families’ bucket lists. But taking a vacation to Disney World can be difficult to do on a budget. There are some considerations that you can make to reduce the cost of your Disney World vacation.

1. Buy Souvenirs in Advance

Disney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery store to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less-expensive places than at Disneyland.

2. Make an Autograph Book

An autograph (亲笔签名)book is seen as a must-have by many Disneyland enthusiasts and is a memory you can take home with you. These books can cost anywhere from $7.95 to $19.95 at the Disney Store and up to $30 for the latest-and-greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park's 60th anniversary edition. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album; cute pads or notebooks.

3. Eat Breakfast Before You Arrive

Breakfast is almost as pricey as lunch or dinner if you eat inside the Disneyland parks. If you have a hotel with a free breakfast, take advantage of it. If you want to eat out, eat at a local restaurant that is inexpensive or has a kids' menu, such as McDonald's which is close to the park.

4. Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special Groups

Disney offers a wide variety of discounts, including for military service members, college students, teachers, and youth groups. If you think you might qualify for a special discount or group rate, call the Disneyland Resort to book tickets.

1.It may take you more money to buy souvenirs at_____.

A. Disneyland B. Department stores

C. Walmart D. Amazon

2.How much do you pay for the park's 60th anniversary edition?

A. $7.95 B. $19.95

C. $5 D. $30

3.What is one piece of the author’s advice on breakfast?

A. You had better eat at Disneyland.

B. You should prepare it well at home .

C. You can eat at a local restaurant.

D. You can ask the hotel to supply it for free.

Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right?

Wrong

New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes(基因) will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed—a number that is one-third of known human genes.

According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.

When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.

This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years. It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)—it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.

Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.

1.The function of Paragraph 1 is to ________.

A. show the main idea of the passage B. give an example

C. make an argument D. introduce the topic of the passage

2.Most genetic changes happen because of ________.

A. people’s condition at birth B. people’s bad living habits

C. environmental pollution D. heart disease and cancer

3.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.

A. the genetic change B. the cement

C. the harmful effect D. the footprint

4.Which of the following statements is true?

A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.

B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking

C. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.

D. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources（来源）, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills（风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to grind（磨碎）wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s, when electricity was available

to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

1.From the text we know that windmills_________________.

A. were invented by European armies

B. have a history of more than 3000 years

C. used to supply power to radio in remote areas

D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered

2.What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?

A. Sailing a boat. B. Producing electricity.

C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from underground.

3.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that________.

A. wind power is cleaner

B. it is one of the oldest power sources

C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind

D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs

4.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. The advantage of wind power.

B. The design of wind power plants.

C. The worldwide movement to save energy.

D. The global movement towards producing power from wind.

Small and round transparent water bottles filled with natural water could help provide a solution to London's plastic waste problem,according to Skipping Rocks Lab,the company in the British capital that produces them.They added that the balls have been made of plant and seaweed extracts and will decompose（分解）after four to six weeks if not consumed.

With many cities struggling to get rid of vast numbers of used plastic water bottles,the 'Ooho' has begun to meet the thirst of consumers in San Francisco and London.A report published last Thursday said more than 4,000 plastic bottles had been removed from the River Thames in a month last year,proving the scale of the waste problem.

"We think Ooho may not be the solution for all the applications that plastic bottles have,but definitely for short term consumption it could be a solution,"said Rodrigo,the founder of Skipping Rocks Lab.In a trial near London Bridge last Wednesday,Ooho drew a mixture of surprise,amusement and delight among those who sampled them. London's city assembly said Ooho was a step forward."It could be part of the solution but not the only solution.You also need to be able to refill bottles at railway stations for example,"said Leonie Cooper,the Chair of the assembly's environment committee.

The company aims to target,among other consumers,marathon runners,who will be able to eat the Oohos mid-race without concerns about the environment.It is also considering sealing alcohol for a whole new market. "People see these small round bubbles and they just think 'shots'.So that's definitely something we're looking at,"said Skipping Rocks Lab Chief Operating Officer Lise."We have sealed alcohol,we want to perfect it,and hopefully this will be the great change of the future."

1.'Ooho' can help solve the plastic waste problem because .
