Every time you visit Disney World,there's something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the hightech,moviemad Disney and Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands,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 moneysaving plans.
Even if you're visiting for fewer days,it's a deal(the pass costs$229 for visitors ages 10 and up,$183 for kids ages 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.
The prices at some of the nicer restaurants,especially those in Epcot's World Showcase,are much lower at noontime than at dinner. It's wise to make reservations before you leave home. Call 407WDISNEY.
F or $65,you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card(call 180056DISNEY).Cardholders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms,plus price breaks on character breakfasts,theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores.
Charactertheme 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 is tight,try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free inpark shows. You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show,for example,in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost,while the similarly themed HoopDeeDoo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets.
By then,the kids will really know what they want,and you won't waste money on expensive things.
A.Members can get lots of benefits.
B.Dine out at lunch.
C.Become a Gold Card Member.
D.Don't pay extra to see a character.
E.Buy the five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass (入场券).
F.Don't waste money on any giftbuying.
G.Wait until the end of your trip to buy souvenirs.

I can't think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You'll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!
★ Tomatina — Bunol, Spain
Every last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world's biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles (护目镜) during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.
★ Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South Korea
For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region's mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.
★ Holi — India
Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India's most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world.
★ International Pillow Fight Day — Worldwide
Tens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2, 2013. From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly.

【题目】It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan—a character from James Matthew Barrie's 1911 book—said:“All children,except one,grow up.”1

According to the NPD Group,a US market research company,sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016,three times the pace of the children's toy market itself.These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets(乐高积木)to vehicle models and action figures.And more than half of the sales came from millennials—people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,”commented website Koreaboo.2According to Frederique Tutt,all analyst at NPD,the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today's fast-paced world.3“It reminds me of the playful side of life,”Rob Willner,a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK,told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego,which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.

4To Frank Furendi,a professor at the University of Kent in The UK,the fact that so many adults are pursuing "the thrills of youth" is the evidence that "adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore",he told The New York Times."That's actually quite sad."

5According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane,collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality."It's just pop culture stuff.It's stuff that says,I like a little of this and I like a little of that,"he told ABC,News."It's no big deal."So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan,perhaps it's time to introduce a new "fact",as stated in the tagline of the UK fashion brand KIDULT:"Growing old is mandatory(强制性的),but growing up is optional."

A.But scientists are probably just worrying too much.

B.Why do these kidults turn to toys for pleasure and comfort?

C.This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as "kidults".

D.They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by,say, getting a promotion,which is far less easy to achieve.

E.The scientists are concerned that those kidults show roo much individuality.

F.But this "fact" doesn't seem to apply to today's world anymore.

G.Despite this,some social scientists see the trend as disturbing.

【题目】CORAL reefs are,in fact,a necessary part of our ecosystem and provide opportunities for human beings to gain a better understanding of the ocean.Unfortunately,they're also disappearing faster than ever.

According to a warning by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) on Oct.8,the world is in its third recorded global coral bleaching(白化)since 1998 and 2010.This means no place with coral has been spared,as coral reefs are coming into contact with increasingly warm seas,which is leading to them dying off in large numbers.

Coral bleaching is like human cancer.It happens when corals are under stress from changes in light,nutrients,or temperature.This causes the coral to drive away the symbiotic algae(共生藻类),living within their tissues(组织), which play an important role in providing food for coral while making it colorful.Without the algae,coral reefs become pale and weak.In some cases they are not able to recover and eventually die off.

The current coral bleaching event started back in late 2014 and continued into this year with no signs of stopping.The BBC reports that 35% of coral reefs in the world will likely be affected,and an estimated 4,633 square miles (about 120,000 square kilometers) of coral reefs could die.

The loss of coral reefs is no small matter.Although they only take up 0.1% of the ocean floor,coral is home to about 25% of marine life.This isn't just a problem for divers and fish,as Eakin pointed out.Coral reefs are important globally,he added,as they protect shorelines,produce money in tourism,and help provide food for 500 million people worldwide.So people cannot overlook the environmental,economic and social effects of the loss.

The NOAA warning about coral bleaching came just about two months before a global climate summit(峰会)in Paris,where hundreds of world leaders will attempt to work our a plan to fight climate change.

Oceans will be a key subject during the summit,and Eakin says there's an "absolutely urgent need" for action.

C. will mainly discuss the problem of oceans

D. will regard oceans as a key topic of the global climate

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki's son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums (论坛) together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over,” says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. “They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone.”
Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity (慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. “Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure,” says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. “But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.”
(1)Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?
A.He needs to go to the doctor every day.

D.He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
(2)Diabeitcrockstar.com was created for________.
A.diabetics to communicate
B.volunteers to find jobs
C.children to amuse themselves
D.rock stars to share resources
(3)According to the text, Kody________.
A.feel lonely because of his illness
B.benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
C.helps create the online kid's forums
D.writes children's stories online
(4)What can we learn about Fight It?
A.It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
