Walt had a strong commercial sense of what would appeal to the public. Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and finally the other Disney theme parks around the world all came about because Walt Disney insisted that he could build an amusement park that was so much bigger and better than other amusement parks that it shouldn’t even be called an amusement park.

In 1940 he disclosed a plan to show Disney characters in their fantasy surroundings at a park across the street from the Disney studio in Burbank.

The idea of an amusement park grew in Walt’s mind as he traveled through the US and Europe and visited attractions of all kinds. Walt was sure that an amusement park would be successful in the United States if it offered a “good show” that families could enjoy together, was clean, and had friendly employees.

In 1948 he shared his concept with trusted friends, a modest amusement park with a central village including a town hall, a small park, railroad station movie theater, and small stores. Outlying areas would include a carnival (联欢) area and a western village. Soon he added spaceship and submarine rides, a steamboat, and exhibit halls.

Four years later, he decided on “Disneyland” for the name and formed a company to develop the park, Disneyland, Inc.

In 1953 he got Stanford Research Institute to examine the economic future of Disneyland and to find the perfect location.

They broke ground in July, 1954, and one year later, Disneyland opened. Within 7 weeks, a million visitors had visited Disneyland, making it one of the biggest tourist attractions in the US.

Walt combined his talent and his sense of what the public would want with lots of hard work. In 1960, with a mixture of huge successes and failures, Disney had created something that was successful beyond Walt’s own dreams.

1.What did Walt Disney want to show in his plan?

B. Disney studio.

C. Disney characters.

D. Fantasy surroundings.

2.What would a successful amusement park be like in Walt’s opinion?

d. It proved to be a great success.

e. Its name was decided.

f. Walt shared its outline with his friends.

A. f,e,b,c,a,dB. e,b,c,a,d,f

C. f,e,c,b,a,dD. a,e,b,c,f,d

About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies (殖民地) like Australia , and Ireland. But Thailand, Indonesia and Japan also do so.

This strange quirk (奇事) puzzles the rest of the world; however, there is a perfectly good reason . Up to the late 1700’s , everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it’s the most sensible option for feudal (封建的), violent societies with mostly right-handed people. Soldiers with their swords under their right arm naturally passed on each other’s right, and if you passed a stranger on the road, you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him.

Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink. A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon. It changed under Napoleon because he was left-handed. His armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on, any part of colonized by the French travelled on the right.

After the American Revolutionary War (1775—1783), the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past. As America became the center of the car industry, if you wanted a good reliable vehicle, you bought American right-hand-drive cars. From then on, many countries changed out of necessity.

Today, the EU would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe, but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to change driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system, they paid more attention and took more care, resulting in a reduction of the number of road accidents.

1.Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century ?

A. They were required to do so.

B. They were mostly left-handed.

C. It was easier to cross the street.

D. They could feel safer from attacks.

2.What was Napoleon’s attitude to walking on the left?

A. Support.B. Disapproval.C. Doubt.D. Sympathy.

3.For Americans, driving on the right was a way to show ________.

A. the connection with France was broken

B. the US was no longer ruled by the UK

C. the American Revolution War had ended

D. America was the center of the car industry

4.What is the main cause of the UK failing to adopt the new system?

A. Its high costs to change.

B. Its increasing traffic accidents.

C. Its influence on colonies.

D. Its fast-developing car industry.

For the Travel section, writers and editors selected special items to profile from a dozen cities.

Brussels: Chocolate.

Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe, and Belgium—with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year—certainly covers its fair share. While Brussels, the country’s capital, is home to hundreds of chocolate makers, what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.

Budapest: Paprika(红辣椒)

The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do. A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them, so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh. But by the early 20th century, sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.

Lisbon: Tiles(瓷砖)

Is there a bluer country than Portugal? The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land. The blue moods of Fado, the dark folk music, form the national soundtrack. And all across Portugal, the typically—blue designs of azulejos—ceramic tiles—are spread across churches, castles, palaces, university halls, parks. The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints, Portuguese kings, historical glories, aristocrats(贵族) at leisure, seascapes and so on.

Madrid: Guitars

Walking into one the Madrid’s storied guitar makers’ workshops can feel like stepping into the past. Curly wood shavings, from the palest pine to ebony, fall onto the floor as artisans(工匠) turn some humble wood into works of art. It’s painstaking work—all done by hand—with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.

1.What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?

A. The popularity of Hungarian peppers.

B. The difficult of processing peppers.

C. The unique tradition in Budapest.

D. The hot level of Hungarian peppers.

A. Brussels.B. Budapest.C. Lisbon.D. Madrid.

3.What’s the similarity of the four items?

A. They’re all treasures of a city.

B. They all date back several centuries.

C. Their production processes are all painstaking.

D. They all win popularity in most European countries.
