What privileges did he enjoy for being the first Disneyland visitor? When did the theme park Disneyland open to the public? Why did Macpherson go so early to Disneyland?,1. C,2. D,3. B,4. B,The First Disneyland visitor Dave MacPherson may have been the first paying guest at Disneyland when the theme park opened its gates 50 years ago, but he didnt even have time for one ride. In a hurry to get back to campus for a college class, 1.he instead visited a restroom after spending hours in line and left without as much as a souvenir. Still, the honor of being the first paid admission came with a special perk: 2.a lifetime pass for four to Disneyland and other Disney parks as they opened. He has taken full advantage of it scores of times, especially when he lived in California. In 1955, MacPherson watched television report of the opening of Disneyland for the media and invited guests 3.on July 17, 1955, a day before the park opened to the public. He said to himself, “Boy, I sure would like to go out there.” 4.He believed he might get a prize for standing first in line. He drove his Simplex motorbike to Anaheim, arriving shortly before 1 a.m. to take his place in line an hour before anyone else showed up. The crowd steadily grew overnight to about 6,000 people, and MacPherson made sure no one got in front of him. When the box office opened, a photographer for the Long Beach Press-Telegram captured him buying the first ticket. Looking at the photo years later, he realized he had his own camera but didnt use it. “Why didnt I shoot some pictures?“ he wondered. “I even forgot to ask Walt Disney for his autograph. I must have been balmy or something after staying up all night.“,Short Conversations,1. B,M: Im going to Martins house. I have a paper to complete, and I need to use her computer.

C,Disney, the Best Service Provider Millions of people pass through the gates of Disneys entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? Well, one reason is the way visitors are treated once they get there. 1.The people at Disney try their best to serve their “guests”, and to see that they enjoy themselves. 2. All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University. Here, they learn about the companys history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
