Changing Weather
The weather is changing．Over the last few years，heavy rains have caused floods （洪灾） in Brazil，Pakistan，and Thailand．Droughts （干旱） have struck Russia and Australia．Heat waves have killed thousands in Europe．There are more different kinds of terrible wild weather all over the world．In 2011alone，the bad weather caused the world to lose 150billion dollars．

As more wild weather events happen，a worried world is beginning to ask questions like：What is going on with the weather？And why？Many also want to know：Is this natural，or are we to blame （责怪）？
The answer seems to be：a little of both．Wild weather is natural． This global （全球的） warming makes heat waves more likely to happen．The higher temperatures also cause more water to enter the air．This causes much more rain．Some scientists also believe global warming makes some storms stronger．
This means we're likely to see more wild weather．"But we don't have to just stand there and take it，"says Scientist Michael Oppenheimer．He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer．We also need to be prepared，to do things that will help save lives．

Mickey Mouse's ears are well known all over the world，and this year will be an especially fun one for Disney．The company is celebrating 60years since its first theme park，Disneyland，opened in California，US in 1955．
Disney has opened many more parks all over the world since it made history in California，Shanghai Disneyland is expected to open in 2016，bringing Disney's popular parks here to the Chinese mainland for the first time．
So why has Disneyland been so popular for 60years？Well，it's described as"the Happiest Place on Earth"and"a place for the young and young at heart"．Many Americans have grown up with the parks，as ex-Disneyland president Paul Pressler said in 1995："There is an emotional relationship that people have with this park．"
Disneyland was one of the first theme parks anywhere in the world that had"lands"and rides with themes．Disney's storytelling in rides like roller coasters is a big reason for their parks'success．"We tell a story in everything we do，"Pressler said．Disney rides such as The seven Dwarves Mine Train and Peter Pan's Flight come from its movies．One ride from its 2013hit movie Frozen will surely be coming soon，perhaps at the new Shanghai Disneyland．
Disney's parks haven't always been popular everywhere，however．When Disneyland Paris opened in 1992，some French people felt that American culture was invading（入侵）France．But still，the park stayed open and today it is a popular place for European visitors．
