I was in Walt Disney World with my son, Daniel, who is autistic (患自闭症的), and at that time he was 7 years old. My wife and our three other sons were with us too. He was having one of his melt down screaming tantrums (发怒), only God knows why. So my wife and I decided I would take the bus back to the hotel, and she would stay in the park with the other three children.
After we got on the bus, the screaming continued. My son looks “normal”. To the many people on the bus, he appeared to just be a kid screaming --- or a spoiled child who did not get his special toy that day. It did not take long --- less than a minute --- before the screaming brought about stares, then glares from the other passengers.
To my shame, I found myself losing my temper at my own son. I was embarrassed, angry, and frustrated, and felt cheated by God for not being able to enjoy a normal vacation with my family because of him. I started to wonder what life would be like without having to deal with this cross (痛苦).
And just as the reactions of the other passengers were becoming most intense, a man seated just in front of me turned around to face me. I cheered myself up for his advice on how to raise a well-behaved child.
He said calmly, “Is he alright?” I said, “He’s autistic.” Then the man said , “It's alright.” And he smiled. That’s all.
And suddenly, all the anger building up inside me was gone. I almost wept for shame at how I had felt a moment before. It no longer mattered what the other people thought. My son was my gift from God.
I will never forget that man, nor his small, simple act of kindness and understanding. I truly believe he was my son’s guardian angel that day maybe mine too.
1.Why did Daniel become angry?
A.Because he didn't get his special toy.
B.No one knew the reason for his anger.
C.Because something went wrong with him.
D.Because he quarreled with his brother or sister.
2.Hearing Daniel’s screaming, _______.
A.the passengers were not satisfied
B.the passengers felt sorry for the author
C.the author comforted him with patience
D.the driver asked the author and his son to get off
3.What does the third paragraph tell us?
A.How the author helped his son calm down.
B.How the author reacted to his son's screaming.
C.What made the author angry and embarrassed.
D.What the author’s life would be like without Daniel.
4.How did the author’s anger disappear?
A.The bus arrived at the stop near his hotel.
B.A stranger helped him realize his mistake.
C.His son stopped screaming and apologized to him.
D.He suddenly realized his son was an autistic child.

As for visiting Walt Disney World. People usually have trouble in arranging. The following will give you some practical suggestions on paying a valuable visit to the famous park.
When to go?
While it’s always busy, Disney World is slightly slower between mid-January and March. It’s summer when the visitors , combined with the heat and humidity(潮湿)， are crowded. Your best choice is either early in the morning or late in the day--- often you can enjoy more rides in the first or last two hours of the day than you can the entire rest of the day combined.
Where to stay?
The question: to stay on Disney World Resort property or not. Disney World offers three resort pricing: Deluxe(豪华的), Moderate, and Value, with good facilities and in-hotel attractions. That said, they all offer “Extra Magic Hours”(early access to the theme parks), guaranteed entry when the parks are over-crowded, and frequent shuttle service to the many attractions. Off-property hotels will have shuttle transfers, but often at less regular intervals(间歇)，wasting more time in transport. You’ll also need a rental car, which adds to the expense, making up for saving in the hotel rate. The “Magic Your Way Package” is a good value if you have a large family.
What to do?
Make use of the “Fast Pass” , which , for no extra cost, allow you to insert your entrance ticket into a particular machine at the attraction and receive a schedule ride time a little later on. For example, use your Fast Pass ticket at a ride just before getting lunch. Once you’re done eating, you can return to the ride and jump right on during the busiest time of day. At the Animal Kingdom, the animals are most active either early or late in the day, so plan accordingly. Thankfully this is fit for the least busy times of day in the park. Study the map of the park the night before to plan your visit. You’ll save time by knowing where things are and where you’re headed.
1.Visitors who use Fast Pass tickets ________
A．can get discounts on tickets
B．will have a well-planned ride time
C．will often be checked at the exit
D．have to pay more for their tickets
2.If you have referred to the map of the park, you ________
A．are sure to save time
B．will get the lowest-priced tickets
C．can learn the park’s location
D．may have your lost tickets replaced
3.The underlined word “this” in the text probably refers to the fact that ________
A．there are more visitors at that time
B．animals are active at that time
C．the Animal Kingdom attracts fewer visitors
D．Fast Pass benefits visitors a lot
4.It can be learned from Part 2 that _________
A．every visitor will have a rental car for free
B．all the shuttle transfers are convenient for visitors.
C．three typed of resort pricing are offered by Disney World
D．Young couples are advised to take the Magic Your Way Package

Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.
Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.
Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.
The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.
Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places — including some museums and stadiums — worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.
Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”
Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set park wide bans.
1.Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?
A. smart phones B. folding chairs
C. cameras D. containers
2.According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.
A. abandon them at the bag check
B. get fined and pick them up later
C. turn them in to the police
D. put them in the trunk of their cars
3.The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.
A. changing B. broadening C. blocking D. narrowing
4.According to the passage, it can be inferred that __________.
A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security
B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides
C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally
D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide
