When to go：The Magic Kingdom，which was opened in 1971，was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year，although opening and closing time for each park changes from day to day.

If you plan to make a trip to the Magic Kingdom without kids，try to visit on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit during a school vacation，try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year and the Fourth of July.

If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel，avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days，as Disney’s hotel guests get into the park early on those days，and visitors who arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s normal opening time have to wait for a long time.

Before you go：Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. For advice on picking the right ticket，see our guide to Disney World tickets.

You will also need to call in advance to make lunch and/or dinner reservations(预定). Disney accepts reservations up to 180 days in advance，but you need contact 1－407－WDW－DINE.

When you get there：Plan to arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s front gate before the park opens in the morning. Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom，you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center parking lot，ride at tram to the TTC，then take a ferry boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom. It makes for a fantastic approach，but takes extra time. Give yourself an extra hour in the summer and half an hour during the school year.

1.For an adult，the best time to visit the Magic Kingdom is ________.

A．on the weekend

B．on a school day

C．during a school holiday

D．around Christmas

Every day my husband parked his car in the same open-air car park in Zimbabwe. On this particular day, he had been running to his car with a pile of office papers under his arm. As he opened the car door, he suddenly lost control of his body. He felt a stabbing pain in his arm, and became totally breathless and lost consciousness. As he fell down, half in, half out of the car, his last thought was “what a way to die”.

A young woman getting into her own car in the deserted car park noticed what was going on and at once ran to my husband’s aid, trying to bring his life back. Realizing time was important, she tried to move my husband to her car, calling the guard at the gate.

Fearing an ambulance would take too long to arrive, she felt it better to get to the hospital as quickly as she could. She raced through traffic lights sounding her car’s horn and rushed into the hospital, calling out, “I have an unknown man here who I think is having a heart attack.

Having realized he was in capable hands, the woman returned to the car park, found his keys on the ground, collected his papers and piled them in the car. Having seen my husband come out of a certain building each day, the security guard thought he knew where he worked. The young woman managed to locate his colleagues and they in turn contacted my niece, who waited for me to return home so she could break the news to me.

After careful tests it turned out that my husband’s disease had nothing to do with heart. We were naturally eager to find the kind stranger who had come to his aid. After some weeks we discovered where the young woman worked. She was overjoyed when my husband walked into her office with a huge bouquet of flowers. She said she required no thanks, and preferred to remain anonymous (匿名的).

We now live in a different country, but each Christmas my husband remembers her act of kindness and sends a gift. We regard every day of his life as a bonus, all thanks to this kind stranger.

1.From the passage, we can infer that _______.

A. a heart attack hit the writer’s husband suddenly

B. there were few people in the park that day

C. the young woman was at a loss at first

D. the woman was fined for breaking the traffic lights

2.Who told the writer the news of her husband’s illness?

A. The young woman.

B. The security guard.

C. The colleague of her husband.

D. The writer’s niece.

3.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. The Gift of Life

B. An Act of Gratitude

C. The Attack of a Disease

D. The Story of a Young Woman

Opened in September 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland is the second Disney Park in Asia. It experienced a difficult time upon its opening. The Park, as well as two themed hotels, was built on Lantau Island.

The Park opened to strong competition in the form of Ocean Park. Hong Kong Disneyland is one of only two parks in Hong Kong, which has become one of the world's leading cities in recent years. It kept Chinese cultural traditions in mind when they built the Park to avoid a cultural backlash (抵制). Designers added to the custom of Feng Shui.

Disney and Hong Kong announced the Park in 1999, and construction began in 2003. The Park had one of the shortest construction periods in Disney history. Disney actually announced that the opening of the Park would be brought forward, from 2006 to September 2005.

The Park attracted 5.2 million visitors in its first year, below the expected 5.6 million. There was a lack of attractions, with Fantasyland opening with just one dark ride. Summer Passes were announced to increase the number of tourists. Autopia, Stitch Encounter and it's a Small World opened between 2006 and 2008 to offer more attractions at the Park.

The number of tourists dropped in 2007 to just over 4 million, so Disney planned a big expansion (扩大) project to attract more tourists and bring the Park back to its normal level. In July 2009, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong passed a three-land expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland, and in 2010, Toy Story Land opened.

These new attractions have certainly paid off, with the Park earning record profit (盈利) in 2013. In that year, over 7 million guests entered the Park.

With enough room for a second Park and the promise of more attractions to come, it seems that there is indeed a great beautiful tomorrow for Hong Kong Disneyland.

1.What do we know about Hong Kong Disneyland upon its opening?

A.It was the best Disney Park in Asia. B.It wasn't very successful at first.

C.It didn't face much competition. D.It was against Chinese culture.

2.Compared to most other Disney parks, Hong Kong Disneyland ________.

A.is much smaller in size B.has more customs to consider

C.had a longer preparation for opening D.had a shorter period of time for construction

3.What's the author's attitude toward the future of Hong Kong Disneyland?

A.Hopeful. B.Worried.

C.Uninterested. D.Doubtful.
