MONEY – SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY 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 – tech, 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 been to the park more than 25 times with my kids , and I've developed a few money-saving tips for you.

●Buy the Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass. Even if you're visiting for fewer days , it's a deal （The pass costs $ 229 for visitors aged 10 and up , $ 183 for kids aged 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 Lunchtime. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants , especially those in Epcot's World Showcase , are much lower at noontime than at any other time. 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）. Cardholders get up to 20% off Disney hotel rooms , plus prices on character breakfast , theme park tickets 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 needs expensive tickets .

　●　Wait Until the End of Your Trip to Buy Souvenirs. By then , the kids will really know what they want , and you won't waste money on expensive things .

67．If you are short of money, the writer suggests you should not .

A．buy things for the kids from Disney stores.

B．buy souvenirs at the beginning of the trip

C．make a trip to Blizzard Beach

D．have your meals out at noontime

68．Which of the following can be used in place of “set you back”

A．offer you B．save you C．return you D．cost you

69．You should pay more money if you .

A．have a five – day All – One Hopper Pass while you’re visiting for four days.

B．do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance..

C．are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder.

D．have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase

70．In the writer’s opinion, the better way of meeting the Disney cartoon character is .

A．to have a character breakfast

For millions of Chinese Internet users, the penguin is more than a flightless bird from the Antarctic. To them it is the symbol of QQ, the instant-messaging service marking its 10th anniversary.

QQ’s creator, Ma Huateng, 38, is a lover of stargazing, and describes himself as a combination of idealist and realist. “ I’m introverted. My friends believed I was too shy to find a girlfriend,” Ma said. He found a girlfriend, now his wife, through chatting online on QQ. Born in Hainan province, Ma loved watching stars and dreamed of becoming an astronomer. He moved to Shenzhen, along with his parents, in southern Guangdong province when he was in his teens. Ma was impressed by the slogan “ Time is money, efficiency is life” found all over the city. It was the most famous slogan born in Shenzhen, representing China’s reform and opening. The pioneering city provided chances for Ma to watch burgeoning reforms. He saw people carry big bags of cash to buy stocks after China launched a capital market in Shenzhen and Shanghai in the late 1980s. When he graduated from Shenzhen University in 1993, Ma designed a stock exchange software system and sold it for 50,000 yuan ($ 7,3000). He then worked as an IT engineer for five years.

It was in 1998 that Ma realized Internet would transform China and the world, and launched his own company, Shenzhen Tencent Inc. A unit of Tencent, Tencent Holdings Ltd, went public on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2004. “ China’s reform and opening provided me with a chance to grow the company,” Ma said. The country had only 3 million Internet users when QQ made its debut in 1999, but now China has around 300 million Internet users, Ma said. Hu Qiheng, chairwomen of the Internet Society of China(ISC), said reform and opening not only improved people’s living standards, but also gave them a chance to explore the outside world and a chance for the Internet to boom in the country.

It was in the late 1990s that China’s major Web portals mushroomed, including Sina, Sohu, 163, Tencent and Alibaba. That boom came to sa sudden halt when the internet bubble burst in 2000. “We were under great pressure when the Internet bubble burst. Things have only recovered since 2005,” Ma said. The IT sector was among the first batch of industries in China to experience zero-tariff treatment, meaning that the nation’s Internet sector had to face challenges from international peers.

QQ, with around 450 million users, provides services such as chatting, music, games and QQ currency-an indispensable currency in china’s virtual community. “ Chinese websites have survived the competition with foreign peers over the past ten years, but it will be the next ten years that decide Chinese Internet enterprises’ fate,” Ma said. Domestic enterprises have to compete with international companies on services, innovation and core technology, he said. One of Ma’s favorite films is March of the Penguins-a French documentary directed by Luc Jacquet. He said: “Penguin is a lovely animal to me. It is a combination of love, courage and adventurism.”

1.Which of the following is true about the founder of QQ?

A．Creating an IT company of his own had always been his dream since childhood.

B．He constantly moved from place to place when he was in his teens.

C．The instant-messaging service he created brought him not only money but also a family.

D．He worked for the Shenzhen Stock Exchange after graduation.

2.China’s reform and opening led to the following results EXCEPT_________.

A．a rise in the living standards of Chinese people

B．an opportunity for IT companies to grow

C．potential industrial competition from other countries

D．a chance for people to invest in overseas stock market

3.Which of the following events did actually take place?

A．QQ suffered from a sudden decrease in the number of users when the Internet bubble burst in 2000.

B．QQ heped China’s Internet take flight.

C．QQ was equipped with the most advanced technology in the world when it made its debut in 1999.

D．QQ went public on the main board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in the late 1980s.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Sina and Sohu will develop services like chatting, music and games in order to survive the future international competition.

B．For the sake of domestic enterprises, the tariff needs to be adjusted to a higher value.

C．Ma Huateng views penguin as a lovely animal because it processes the characteristics that he does not.

D．The 50,000 yuan Ma earned from selling the stock exchange software system might be a part of his initial investment in Tencent.

     When I was seven, my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven't
had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don't need one. I have a mobile phone
and I'm always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time-which
is why, if you look around, you'll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going
down since 2007.
     But while the wise have realized that they don't need them, others-apparently including some distinguished
men of our time-are spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling
command shocking prices, up to ￡250.000 for a piece.
     This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap
clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with
extra functions-but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your
direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years' school fees for watches
that allow you to do these things?
     If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered
how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid
of millions of pounds' worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those
who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family;
a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.
     Watches are now classified as "investments" (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly ￡350, 000,
while 1960s Rolexes have gone from 15, 000 to 30, 000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It's
a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up-they've been rising for 15 years.
But when fashion moves on, the owner of that? ￡350, 000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no
more a good investment than my childhood Times.

1. The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they _____.

A. have other devices to tell the time
B. think watches too expensive
C. prefer to wear an iPod
D. have no sense of time

2. It seems ridiculous to the writer that _____.

A. people dive 300 metres into the sea
B. expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones
C. cheap cars don't run as fast as expensive ones
D. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell

3. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?

A. It targets rich people as its potential customers.
B. It's hard for the industry to beat its competitors.
C. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.
D. It's easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches.

4. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Timex or Rolex?
B. My Childhood Timex.
C. Watches? Not for Me!
D. Watches-a Valuable Collection.

        Most of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach-in the hot sun, building sandcastles,
burying Dad in the sandNow the coast has a pleasant and relaxing attraction beyond words. I looked
forward to a windy cliff-top walk or a rainy day rock-picking just as much as those rare moments when
Iget to a short sleep in the sun. But there's nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it
deserted.
      These are my favourite secret beaches-ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to.
Most of those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the
others are too secret even for them.
     Sennen Clove is just a mile northeast of Land's End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It's
a beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles(群岛) of Scilly, 28
miles away.
     The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver end. There's a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
     The smallest of Isles of Scilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide-and a natural wilderness of
unbelievable scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to
two quiet beaches.
     Green Bay has views over to the palm trees of Tresco's Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is
Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
     On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot.
It's that kind of place.

1. The best title for this passage is ________.

A. The Beautiful British Isles
B. Secret Beaches on the British Isles
C. The Most Pleasurable Place in Britain
D. My Experience of Searching Beaches

2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? _______

A. The author is a tourist guide in a tourist agency
B. The author likes walking on a rainy cliff-top most
C. The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches
D. the author loves beaches that are not known to most people

3. Which of the following maps can correctly describe the geography position? ________
(LE=Land's End SC=Sennen CoveIS=the Isles of Scilly)

4. In author's view, farmers on Bryher are ________.

A. mean
B. selfish
C. sincere
D. lazy
