HONG KONG — Hong Kong Disneyland is too crowded, a senior Chinese tourism official said today, hinting that another Disney Park is necessary to accommodate demand from China’s huge population. The comments by Shao Qiwei, director of China’s State Administration of Tourism, came a day after Shanghai’s mayor Han Zheng said the city was preparing to build China’s second Disney theme park. “China has a very large population. We now have 1.3 billion people. The market is very large. As far as I know, Hong Kong Disneyland is now very crowded,” said Shao, whose comments were broadcast on Hong Kong’s Cable TV. The Hong Kong theme park, which opened in September, was widely criticized in January when it turned away(不准…入内) hundreds of Lunar New Year holiday makers from mainland China because the park was full. Chaos(混乱) erupted when angry crowds tried to force their way into the park. The embarrassing incident prompted a public apology from Hong Kong Disneyland Managing Director Bill Ernest and a dressing down from Hong Kong’s leader Donald Tsang. Authorities are carefully studying the issue of overcrowding in preparation for the possible building of the Disney park in Shanghai, Shao said. The official Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday that no agreement has been reached on the park in Shanghai, quoting senior vice president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Leslie Goodman. Hong Kong Disneyland is a joint venture between The Walt Disney Co. and the local government, which shouldered the bulk of the park’s construction fees. 1.Why is it necessary to build a Disney park in Shanghai? A. Hong Kong Disneyland is too small and very crowded. B. Hong Kong Disneyland can’t meet the need of the large population. C. Hong Kong Disney Park was criticized by tourists. D. Hong Kong Disneyland is far from the mainland. 2.Hundreds of visitors from Mainland China got angry because ________. A. the services in the park were not as good as expected B. chaos happened at the entrance to the park C. the park was too crowded D. they were not allowed to go into the park 3.The building of a Disney park in Shanghai ________. A. remains to be discussed with The Walt Disney Co. B. is financed The Walt Disney Co. C. will be in the charge of the Shanghai government D. has been agreed to by The Walt Disney Co.

On the first day of class, Mr Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature (生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that. When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else’s in our class. What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer. Very simple, Mr Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers? Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this? We should have guessed it out, Mr Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct. 1.We failed in the test because we didn’t . A. think carefully B. show interest in what Mr Whiteson said C. listen to the teacher carefully D. take notes while listening 2.We got angry because . A. Mr Whiteson didn’t tell us the truth about cattytiger B. there was no cattytiger C. we didn’t know why he played the joke on us D. we failed in the test 3.Mr Whiteson gave us a special lesson . A. to show his special way of teaching B. to help us learn our lessons better C. to play a joke on us D. so that we would no longer believe him 4.Mr Whiteson meant that . A. teachers couldn’t make any mistakes B. textbooks might be wrong sometimes C. we shouldn’t believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies D. we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong
