Walt Disney and Shanghai government have formally agreed to open up a Disney theme park in China's commercial capital.

Just days after the World Expo was closed, they agreed on plans for a joint venture(合资企业)to manage the project, expected to cover nearly eight square miles for the entire resort(度假胜地), the city government said in a statement. The cost is reportedly estimated at 25 billion yuan.

Plans call for the theme park to be a “strong international tourism resort” with a pleasant, low-carbon environment, the city said.A joint venture between local companies and Disney will be responsible for construction, management and operation of the Disney theme park，it said.

Some villagers were long ago moved off farmland in Chuansha, a part of Pudong district near the city's main international airport，to make way for the park.

Disney issued a statement confirming its discussions with the Shanghai government, saying, “We can confirm the statement from the Shanghai government that we have taken another step forward in the approval process.”

But the company said it was still awaiting final approval of the joint venture by the central government and completion of necessary procedures.

The sixmonthlong World Expo，which ended on Sunday，drew a record of 72 million visitors，mostly Chinese tourists.That event made it necessary for the city to build nearly a dozen new subway lines，new highways，airport upgrades and other modern facilities.

With the Disneyland project due to start，the city appears likely to continue its building boom(激增)．

The agreement on Friday came exactly a year after China's national planning agency approved the plans for the parka major step toward getting the project started.

The park will give Shanghai，the mainland's main financial and commercial centre，a new showcase.While the city is one of China's most modern and wealthy cities，it has relatively few big historic landmarks compared with ancient capitals like Beijing and Xi'an.

Disney has said the Shanghai resort will include a “MagicKingdomstyle theme park with characteristics tailored to the Shanghai region.”

Disney has been expanding its presence in mainland China after opening a theme park in Hong Kong in 2005.That venue, which has suffered from disappointing attendance，is in the midst of Disney’s expansion as it intends to compete with the future theme park in Shanghai.

While reading a story on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy is ruining their life plans, I couldn't help but think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment –my husband and I probably won't be able to buy a house until we're in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans. But why should it be different? Being young people in America, shouldn't they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?

Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won't be able to have children for at least a decade because they can't afford to buy a house yet.

I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury（奢华）, not a fertility requirement.

A 26-year-old man in the story is disappointed that he can't afford to get a Ph. D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.

Yes, it's sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people's expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing. Their parents probably see their home values rise along with their investments. "So we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what living well means," says Kobliner.

This recession（经济衰退） will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful—for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day—than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.

A. They are complaining their aims are hard to achieve.

B. They are complaining their parents can’t give them a good education.

C. They are complaining they can’t afford to travel abroad.

D. They are complaining poor economic condition is ruining their life.

4.How can we describe the writer?

A. Lost and disappointed. B. Passive and stressed.
