MONEY-SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLD

Every time you visit Disney World, there's something new to see. What began in

1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high-techs movie-mad Disney and

Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands ( 扩大 ), so do your chances to spend

money. How can you save? As a family guide to Disney World, I've developed a few

money-saving plans.

■ Buy the five-day All-in One Hopper Pass ( 入场券). Even if you're visiting for

fewer days, it's a deal (the pass costs $ 229 for visitors ages 10 and up, $ 183for kids

ages three to nine and is free for kids underage 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.

■ Dine out at lunch. 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 (预定) before you leave home. Call 407-W-DISNEY.

■ Become a Gold Card Member, For $ 65, you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold

Card (call 1-800-56-DISNEY), Card holders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel

rooms, plus price breaks on character breakfast, theme park ( 主题公园 ) ticket and

goods from Disney stores,

■ Don't pay extra to see a character. Character-theme 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 (预算) is tight,

try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows. You can

watch the Diamond Horseshoe show, for example, in the Magic Kingdom for no

additional cost while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue requires

expensive tickets.

■ Wait until the end of your trip to buy souvenirs (纪念品). By then, the kids will

really know what they want, and they won't waste money on expensive things.

21. The underlined phrase "set you back” in the passage probably means ___

A. offer you B. save you C. return you D. cost you

22. You should pay more money _____.

A. if you have a five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass while you're visiting for four days

B. if you do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance

C. if you have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot's World Showcase

D. if you are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder

23. The economical (经济的) way of meeting the Disney cartoon characters is _____.

A. to have a character breakfast

B. to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show

C. to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks

D. to attend the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English.

Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia

around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the

school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were

saying.

"Why did they do this?" Kate wondered aloud. "I mean, you can't learn if you can't

understand the teacher." Nadia's voice was a whisper. "I understand English. I will

learn." Nadia's English was perfect.

Kate was perplexed. She couldn't understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then

she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn't the easiest thing to do. There

were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn-all at the same time.

"There are a lot of new things to learn, huh?" said Kate. Nadia nodded rapidly. In a

quiet voice she replied. "Many things people say, I do not understand. I have been

speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are

saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a

thin black box he was carrying. Isn't a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me."

"Don't worry." said Kate. "You'll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black

box was a computer. A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a

computer." Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave

a maths lesson. To Kate's surprise, Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer

questions at the blackboard.

Nadia solved every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really

difficult, and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When

the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their

hands.

Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. "Some things," she said in

a normal voice, "are the same all over the world."

24. The underlined word "perplexed" probably means _____.

A. puzzled B. angry C. shocked D. serious

25. We can infer from the passage that _____.

A. Nadia did not like Kate B. Nadia had lived by the sea before

C. Nadia had never seen a computer before D. Nadia spoke in a soft voice out of

politeness

26. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Nadia was better at maths than other students.

B. Nadia found some of the maths questions difficult.

C. Nadia was encouraged to answer questions in class.

D. Nadia understood the maths better than other teachers.

27. What is the message of the story?

A. Talking about something familiar gives you confidence in communication.

B. Answering questions in class makes you better understood by classmates.

C. Language plays an important role in communication between cultures.

D. Maths helps to improve communication between cultures.

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an

ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence

— other countries might learn from its mistakes.

For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far

from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was

the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.

However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with

Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and

alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the

island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.

Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered

phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all

phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began

mining the phosphate.

A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company

strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants.

Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to

look like the moon.

In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the

government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately,

the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they

used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a

terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was

destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say
