26、 There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.
Walt's original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War II. By 1952, Walt had created a special department that was devoted to planning his dream.
Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt employed the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction(建设),they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.
The building of the park was very expensive and to collect money for the project, Walt developed the idea of the 'Walt Disney's Disneyland' television show. It turned out to be a marvelous idea—not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.
Construction officially began on July 21,1954, and it was an ambitious(野心勃勃的)building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park's construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally,the park was ready for the Opening Day on July17,1955.

A.The special design of Griffith Park. B.A trip to a park with his daughters.

A.A diary. B.A novel. C.A magazine. D.A guidebook.
27、 When Natalie Hampton was 12, she was a student at one of the best schools in Los Angeles. Yet she was deeply unhappy.
While in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.
The worst part? The bullies turned Natalie into an outcast. She ate alone in the dining room every day. “I became afraid to go to school,” said Natalie in a recent interview. “I felt worthless.”
In 2014, Natalie began ninth grade at a new school with a “kind student body.” Still, she never forgot how terrible the bullies made her feel. For that reason, whenever she saw kids eating by themselves, she would invite them over.
“Being included has made a difference in their lives,” said Natalie, now 16. This experience encouraged her to create an app (应用程序), Sit With Us, which was started in September 2016.
Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.
“The Sit With Us app should help lessen fears of lonely kids,” wrote author Susan Newman. “It’s always good to have a support (支持) team at the lunch table.”
What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said, adding that the app is already being used by kids in Australia and Europe.
Natalie was recently awarded (授予) President George H. W. Bush’s Points of Light Award for her invention. The award honors those who help change and improve the world.
【1】What troubled Natalie when she was 12?
A.She had to go to a new school.
B.She was hurt by her classmates.
C.She found it hard to be friendly to others.
D.She failed to help those who were bullied.
【2】The underlined word “outcast” in Paragraph 3 refers to a person ________.
A.who is not useful B.who dislikes food
C.who bullies others D.who is not accepted
【3】How does Sit With Us help kids?
A.By talking with them. B.By introducing programs.
C.By serving lunch to them. D.By supporting them at lunch.
【4】What’s Natalie’s hope for the future?
A.Encourage more kids to use Sit With Us.
B.Invite more kids to her lunch table.
C.Invent other apps like Sit With Us.
D.Win more national awards.
28、 Healthy eating is not just about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or avoiding the foods you love.【1】. If you form the following simple habits, you’ll soon notice the difference.
It’s not just what you eat, but how you eat.【2】. Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think about food as nourishment rather than just something to swallow on the way to school or work.

29、 A high-altitude rescue team has set new standards in the Himalayas this season, performing the highest altitude rescue ever completed. On May 19th, a rescue team successfully got a mountaineer from near Camp 3 at 23,000 feet on Everest (珠穆朗玛峰). The climber named Gautam nearly reached the top but became extremely exhausted and seriously dehydrated (脱水的).
After a difficult and dangerous rescue,the team was able to successfully save Gautam’s life.
