There was once an old wise man living on the top of a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice.

One day a young man arrived. “Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly great?”

The old man said, Do you sincerely want to know?

“Yes, yes!” the young man replied.

“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell you in the form of a story.”

There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he would die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight in the front line, risking himself without any worry for his life. Finally they won the battle and he was still alive. His general (将军) was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.

The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of presentation (授予仪式), he was looking very down and sad. Curiously, the general asked him why he was so sad on a day he should be so proud. The soldier told him of his deadly disease. “How could I let such a brave soldier die?” the general thought. So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day on, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front. He would always avoid danger and tried his best to protect his life.

“Young man,” the wise man said, “if you want to be truly great, you must not be afraid of dying, you must be daring.”

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.

__【1】__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.

__【2】__ 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.

__【3】__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.

__【4】__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 similrly themed HoopDeeDoo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets.

第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C D )中,选出最佳选项,并在题卡上将该项涂黑。

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.”
