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 phonesB. folding chairs

C. camerasD. 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. changingB. broadeningC. blockingD. 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

On a later summer evening, my father and I was walking happily home. We have just had a big meal in a restaurant near our home. As we were walking slowly down the street, I asked my father in a low voice, "What does the word 'drunk' mean?" "That's easily, boy," said my father. "Do you see these two policemen over there? If I look at them, I see four instead two, and I'm drunk. Understand?" Hearing at this, I pretended to be puzzled, and said, "My God, and there are six policemen over there. Can't you see?" My father looked at me in great surprised. "You are really drink, son."

When the Apollo astronauts (宇航員) landed on the Moon in 1969, millions of people were rather sad. The person to blame for this was an artist named Chesley Bonestell. For many years, Bonestell had been creating beautifully detailed paintings of the Moon and planets. Viewers of his artwork were unhappy because the real Moon did not look like Bonestell’s pictures of it.

As a space artist, Bonestell tried to make his drawings look exciting and as true as the Moon is. He worked closely with astronomers and scientists to get the most up-to-date scientific information available. But in the 1940s and 1950s, no one had ever seen another planet up close. Yet Bonestell’s paintings looked so real that some people thought they were photographs.

Even though Bonestell was interested in astronomy, he did not start out as a space artist. As a young man he studied architecture — the art and science of designing and making buildings. In 1938 Bonestell became a special effects artist in Hollywood. It was here that he learned he could improve his paintings by following the methods used in the movies.

In 1944, a popular magazine published a series of Bonestell’s paintings of the planet Saturn. He drew Saturn as if it were seen by someone standing on each of the planet’s moons. The results were dazzling. Within a few years, Bonestell’s artwork was appearing regularly in magazines and books on astronomy and space flight.

Many of Bonestell’s artworks had been right all along. But the biggest surprise was the Moon. Someone asked Bonestell what he was thinking when he saw the first pictures from the Moon. “I thought how wrong I was!” he said. “My mountains were sharp (陡峭的), and they aren’t on the Moon.”

But he shouldn’t have felt bad. No space artist had ever before taken so many people to so many faraway worlds. In the years just before the first manned space flights, Bonestell’s artwork prepared people for the amazing space adventure to come.

1.Bonestell made his space drawings ________.

A. from a very early age

B. by copying photographs

C. with the help of scientists

D. in order to make a living

2.The underlined word “dazzling” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “________”.

A. doubtfulB. wonderfulC. terribleD. worrying

3.Bonestell’s success lay in the fact that ________.

A. he created a new drawing skill

B. he helped finish the first space flight

C. he made space travel more popular

D. He helped bring space closer to people

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. The space art of Chesley Bonestell

B. The first men on the Moon

C. The journeys of the Apollo astronauts

D. Spacewalking: through an astronaut’s eyes

Sunny 31st, July

It was sunny today and I was in a good mood. Tired of studying or the noise of city life, I come to the ecology park to enjoy scenery and get relaxing in the afternoon.

While I arrived at the park, what came into its sight were the thick green trees. The air was fresh. In addition, I could clearly see a path around the pond. Lying on the grasses decorated with various flowers, I felt with ease because all that I wanted was peace inside.

Therefore, with time going by quickly, the sun was setting in the west. So I had to return back home. I would never forget such romantic experience, which was really beyond description.

One of my happiest childhood memories were having dinner with my parents and two sisters. As a result, found that we seldom had a chance to get together, then we decided we would set aside three evenings the week for a sit-down dinner. First we tried setting three fixed days for our experiment—Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays. After a couple of week of trying this plan, almost everyone was unhappy. For a while, the kids began to resist the idea. They said they would rather to spend the time with their friends or take part in some activities. Gradual, though, they began to see these evenings together for a very different way. We laughed a lot and we discussed about each other’s problems. Since a few months, we all felt that we had been able to build much strong relationships with the family than we had before.

Hiking can be a pleasant as well as a not so pleasant adventure. You will have to take a number of measures so that your hike is a pleasant experience.

Hiking Tip 1 — Start Early

Most hiking experts hold the opinion that it is rather sensible to start hiking at 3 or 4 in the morning, even if it is a full-day hike. Since most hikes are conducted at high altitudes, starting off early will make sure that you are back down during the afternoon hours.

Hiking Tip 2 — Be Light

Since we are anyway talking about the load you will carry, another important hiking tip is to carry fewer loads. If you are going on a hiking trail on a familiar path, you will need reduced survival items, as chance that you will get lost or hurt yourself on these hiking trails is little.

Hiking Tip 3 — Reduce the Number of Breaks

Once you start your hike, you should make sure you do not take too many breaks. You will need to maintain a consistent speed and minimize the number of stops which you take. Speed and rest stops help distinguish an inexperienced hiker from an expert hiker. An inexperienced hiker will have bursts of speed and energy and it will be followed by rest stops. This results in slowing down the general speed.

Hiking Tip 4 — Tip for Children

Do you plan to take your kids along with you on the hiking trail? Well, then you must be looking for hiking tips for kids! You will have to educate them about nature and also get them into an exercise routine before taking them on a hike. Kids have a tendency to run in the beginning. This exhausts them and they have to be carried, which is certainly not the best of ideas.

1.You are advised to start hiking early in order to ________.

A. finish your hiking in a day

B. enjoy your hiking completely

C. avoid getting tired

D. get back down early

2.What should you do if you are going hiking on an unfamiliar trail?

A. Carry enough survival items.

B. Keep a high speed.

C. Start hiking in the afternoon.

D. Carry fewer loads.

3.According to the text, inexperienced hikers ________.

A. don’t keep a consistent speed

B. will easily get lost

C. choose well-established paths

D. don’t stop to rest

4.If you want to take a kid for hiking, you should ________.

A. make sure of his safety

B. prepare him for it

C. educate him about hiking

D. give him some tips
