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. 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.

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 .

A. it is small and transparent B. it is filled with natural water

C. it is made of plant and seaweed D. it can disappear some time later

2.How is Rodrigo's comment on 'Ooho'?

A. Subjective. B. Unreal.

C. Objective. D. Ridiculous.

We’ve all experienced peer pressure (同伴压力). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they’re just curious about trying something new. _________1._________

It’s hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it? _____2._____ If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don’t do it. It’s your decision, nobody else’s. You don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don’t want to do that.”

Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. _____3._____ You want friends who will support you when you’re in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.

______4.______ — You can learn a lot from people your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don’t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty. ________5.________

A. Choose your friends carefully.

B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.

C. It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.

D. Of course, peer pressure isn’t completely bad.

E. It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.

F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.

G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t want to.

A hobby is an inverstment of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to developing more than one type of hobby. 1.When it comes to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.

Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have. When you have a talent like painting or woodworking, it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill. 2. Skill can be developed and challenged as you go along. It is not a necessary requirement. A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you’re a professional at it.

Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others. It can be a lot more fun to become a member of a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement. 3.It’s important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts that do what you do.

Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you. Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living. 4.Just make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.

5. But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it’s a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.

A. However, hobbies don’t have to be skill related.

B. Most hobbies can easily be done within your own home, at your leisure.

C. Look one up or start your own.

D. Read hobby books to learn more about your chosen hobby!

E. Make a list of things that you enjoy or don’t know about.

F. It can be a necessary part of selecting the hobby that is right for you.

G. Whether it’s full time, part time or not at all, you must decide whether your hobby applies to you
