One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: “Yesterday the person who had been in your way to success passed away. We invite you to join the funeral （葬礼） in the gym.”

At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues （同事） had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.

The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: “Who is this person that was in my way? Well, at least he's no longer here!”

One by one the employees got closer to the coffin （棺材）. When they looked inside it they were speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul （灵魂）.

There was a mirror inside the coffin: Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who can stop yourself from succeeding: it is YOU.”

You are the only person who can change your life. You are the only person who can influence（影响）your happiness and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

Your life does not change when your family changes, when your friends change, when your boss changes, or when your company changes.

Your life changes when YOU change, when you realize that you are the only one responsible （负责的） for your life.

  Disneyland is in Los Angeles, California. It is one of the most famous theme parks in the world. We went there in July last year. It took us about 11 hours to fly there. It was warm and sunny when we arrived. We did not join a tour. We bought the 3-day passes to Disneyland. Every day, we used the same passes so we did not have to line up for tickets.

  On the first day, we went to Fantasyland. We had to cross a bridge to get there. We saw the Sleeping Beauty Castle. Many cartoon characters such as Snow White, Cinderella and Peter Pan live around the castle. The highlight of that day was the fireworks at night. The castle looked shiny under the fireworks.

  On the second day, we went to Mickey's Toontown. Mickey and all his friends live there. In the afternoon, these characters would walk in a parade. They waved to people when they were marching down the street.

  On the last day, we visited Tomorrowland. My favourite game was the Space Mountain. We rode in an indoor train and saw animals and mountains in 3-D pictures. It felt as if they were right in front of us.

  It was a really exciting trip. Three days were just not enough. I wish I could meet Mickey and all his friends again very soon.

At the end of the presentation, Daniel's classmates ask him questions about Disneyland. Help Daniel answer their questions. Circle the correct letters.

(1) How long did you spend in Disneyland?

　A. Only one day.

　B. Two days.

　C. Three days.

(2) Where did you see the parade?

　A. In Fantasyland.

　B. In Mickey's Toontown.

　C. In Tomorrowland.

(3) What is the Space Mountain?

　A. It's an indoor train in Tomorrowland.

　B. It's the place where I saw the fireworks.

　C. It's a 3-D mountain.
