fun together. The more Walt dreamed of a "magical park," the more imaginative and elaborate it became.
The original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and
families could go to relax. Although, World War II put those plans on hold. During the war, Disney had
time to come up with new ideas, and creations for his magical park. It was soon clear that 8 acres
wouldn"t be enough.
Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a survey for a 100-acre site, outside
of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying
elephants and giant teacups; a fairy-tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a magic
kingdom he called "Disneyland."
The search for the best venue for the park ended in the rural Anaheim, California with a purchase of a
160-acre orange grove near the junction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and Harbor Boulevard.
Construction for Disneyland began on July 21, 1954, 12 months before the park was scheduled to
open.
Some 160-acres of citrus trees had been cleared and 15 houses moved to make room for the park.
However, when the real designing came around, Disney met with inevitable questions. How do you make believable wild animals, that aren"t real? How do you make a Mississippi paddle ship? How do you go
about building a huge castle in the middle of Anaheim, California? Disney asked his movie studio staff for
answers. The design of Disneyland was something never done before. There would be four uniquely
different theme parts: Adventure land , Frontier land , Fantasyland Tomorrow land. Bit by bit, Disneyland
got ready for Opening Day. The staff worked around the clock to get ready.
But opening day was a terrible disaster. Beside the terrible opening day conditions, the park did
eventually pick up. By 1965, ten years after opening day, 50 Million visitors had come through the gates.

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images.
Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary.
Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like
much. It is a woman"s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this
shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the
people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it
perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she
throw away goods that she didn"t need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of
them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such
a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies
with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry
their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips
to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave
and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn
back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of
the greatest adventures in the 19th century.

4. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, _______.
A. she must have been a brave woman.

gave an arithmetic 1 to our class. When the papers were 2 she discovered that twelve boys had
made the same mistakes throughout the test.?
There is really nothing new about 3 in the exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O"Neill didn"t even
say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 4 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. O"Neill asked 5 questions, and she didn"t 6 us either. Macaulay, she wrote on the
blackboard the 7 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 8 these words into our
exercise-books one hundred times.?
I don"t 9 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most important
single 10 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay"s words, they still seem to me
the best yard-stick(准绳), because they give us a 11 to measure ourselves rather than others.?
12 of us are asked to make 13 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle.
But all of us are called upon daily to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet, found in
the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the 14 change received at
the store be forgotten or 15 ? Nobody will know except you. But you have to live with yourself, and
it is always better to live with someone you respect.?

| On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon(气球).They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way. Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope(绳子),and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight(重量).It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand. After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metes, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men"s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand.
