But taking a vacation to Disney World can be difficult to do on a budget. There are some considerations that you can make to reduce the cost of your Disney World vacation.1. Buy Souvenirs in Advance Disney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery store to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less-expensive places than at Disneyland. 2. Make an Autograph Book An autograph book is seen as a must-have by many Disneyland enthusiasts and is a memory you can take home with you. These books can cost anywhere from $7.95 to $19.95 at the Disney Store and up to $30 for the latest-and-greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the parks 60th anniversary edition. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album; cute pads or notebooks.3. Eat Breakfast Before You Arrive Breakfast is almost as pricey as lunch or dinner if you eat inside the Disneyland parks. If you have a hotel with a free breakfast, take advantage of it. If you want to eat out, eat at a local restaurant that is inexpensive or has a kids menu, such as McDonalds which is close to the park.4. Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special Groups Disney offers a wide variety of discounts, including for military service members, college students, teachers, and youth groups.

Think about your childhood and the memories you created. What was your favorite childhood memory and what was your favorite as a child? Or what your favorite Christmas present or your favorite candy bar when growing up? Answers may come easily for some people but for others，it may take more time to think about.Mary Jo McCarthy of Pequot Lakes wants to help others document their childhood memories which could be treasured by current families and for generations to come. McCarthy, 64, a short story author and retired columnist(专栏作家)for the Lake Country Echo weekly newspaper, began hosting a writing seminar(研讨班)titled“A Time to Remember”.The classes are limited to 12 people and are conducted in the nursery at Lutheran Church of the Cross in Nisswa and the registration fee is $25.McCarthy said what led her to start the writing seminars was writing others biographies. A retired businessman asked her to write his biography as a ghost writer. She said others from her church in Pequot Lakes had also asked her to write their biographies because they didnt know how to write them. She thought hosting a class to help people write their own bi ographies would be more beneficial to them.McCarthy said people had busy lifestyles those days and didnt have a chance to sit down and write down their memories that they might forget and never remember. She said writing down the memories would document the persons life，go other family members，especially future generations would be able to read about them.24In paragraph l the author raises some questions to_Aintroduce the topic of the textBexpress his/her puzzle about memoriesCgive some examples for readers about biographiesDprovide background details for readers about the retired columnist25What can we learn about McCarthy?AShe was strict with her studentsBShe didnt take charge of seminarsCShe got support from the local governmentDShe once worked as a columnist in a newspaper26 You are very likely to read the passage in _.A. a biology textbook B.

Its two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into my box of popcorn, Im often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone. Its no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger, that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was the worst idea ever! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that watching not multi-screening. And if youre out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted by the click-click on someones mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen why arent they concentrating on the big screen?! But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward? A survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience. However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, dont ruin the movie, they hear please cut off your left arm above the elbow.” Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that Im at, please dont sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do?28. The underline word “irritated” in Paragraph 1 means _. A. terrified B. depressed C. annoyed D. embarrassed 29. Which of the following is True of the US cinema chains original advice? A. The advice was carried out smoothly. B. They permitted people to use the phone. C. The advice was very popular with people. D. They prohibited people to use the phone. 30. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Young people use their social media frequently. B. The cinema neednt worry about their customers. C. People prefer to watch films and DVD at home. D. Sending messages is the best experience for young people.31. What is the authors attitude towards multi-task at the movies? A. Sympathy. B. Encouragement. C. Enthusiasm. D. Disapproval.DIn general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange, and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. The cool colors are green, blue, and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange, is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating, do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. People associate colors with different objects, feelings, and holidays. People say red is an exciting and active color. They associate red with a strong feeling like anger. Red is used for signs of danger, such as STOP signs and fire engines. The holiday which is associated with red is Valentines Day. Orange is the bright, warm color of leaves in autumn. People say orange is a lively, energetic color. They associate orange with happiness. The holidays which are associated with orange are Halloween in October and Thanksgiving Day in November. White is the color of snow. People describe white as a pure, clean color. They associate white with a bright clean feeling. On the other hand, black is the color of night. People wear black clothes at serious or formal ceremonies. Yellow is the color of sunlight. People say it is a cheerful and lively color. Green is the cool color of grass in spring. People say it is a refreshing and relaxing color. Machines in factories are usually painted light green. Blue is the color of the sky, water, and ice. Police and Navy uniforms are blue. When people are sad, they say “I feel blue.” They associate blue with feelings like unhappiness and fear. If two objects are the same except for color, they will look different. Color can make an object look nearer or farther, larger or smaller. Bright objects look larger than dark objects. In conclusion, color is very important to people. Warm and cool colors affect how people feel. People choose products by color. Moreover, color affects how an object looks. It is even possible that your favorite color tells a lot about you. 32. The people who prefer warm colors usually are _.A. quiet B. energetic C. angry D. relaxing33. The fact that one family paints the living room a sunny yellow suggests _.A. people want to be quietB. people want to sleep slowlyC. people want time to pass more slowlyD. people associate colors with holidays34. Why do doctors and nurses normally wear white uniforms?A. Because white means pure and clean.B. Because white means serious or formal.C. Because they like the colour of snow.D.

It helps express your thoughts and improves your career prospects (前景) as well as strengthens relationships. Therefore, its necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills. 36 Before you are ready to talk to a group of people, you should think about what you are going to talk about. Although a printed copy of a speech may not be always necessary, highlighting a few important issues in your mind is a must. 37 And it reduces the possibilities of getting away from the main issues. Choose your wordsChoice of words is the most important part of any communication. Simple, clear words are appropriate for the issue you are discussing. Needless to say, words that could make your audience unpleasant are best kept out of the communication. Most people tend to be careful about their language while at work. 38 This may hurt your loved ones beyond your imagination. Body languageMany people use body language by mistake and end up making a fool of themselves. Body language means keeping eye contact and using hand gestures only wherever required. 39 This will make your talk more of a stage performance and defeat its purpose.
