    New "Star Wars" Attractions Set to Open at Disney Theme Parks in 2019

The galaxy (银河系) that seems so far, far away just got a little closer.

    On Tuesday, Disney announced "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge", a highly {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (expect) themed land under construction, would open in summer 2019 at California's Disneyland and in late fall 2019 at Florida's Disney World.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the announcement was made, officials had only said the new land would open soon.

    No specific date {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (announce) for the Disneyland opening. But if past summer openings are any indication, "Galaxy's Edge" is expected to open in late June.

The additions will be Disney's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (big) "single-themed land expansion" ever, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger. Each will be an expansive 14 acres (英亩). A copy of the Millennium Falcon spaceship, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} guests will be able to pilot, will be a key attraction.

    Galaxy's Edge will immerse (使沉浸于) visitors in the Star Wars universe, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (transport) them to a never-before-seen Star Wars planet—a remote trading port largely ignored by warring people and one of the last stops before wild space. This planet is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Star Wars characters and their stories will come to life. It will feature two major attractions: {#blank#}8{#/blank#} allowing guests to pilot the Millennium Falcon and the other dropping riders into the middle of a battle. The most advanced video techniques are expected to power each attraction.

    Even as Galaxy's Edge {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (approach), Disneyland is making changes, both large and small, in advance. Recent projects have shifted queues for "Dumbo the Flying Elephant" and "It's a Small World". These are the efforts to improve traffic flows near the attractions. Similar changes have been made in Adventureland {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (ease) congestion points. Work has started on a new luxury resort in Downtown Disney. Officials have closed Rainforest Café, ESPN Zone and AMC Theaters to make room.

    As we all know, the Great Wall of China is one of the greatest {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sight) in the world—the longest wall in the world ,which {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (consider) the symbol of China and the wisdom of Chinese people.

    With {#blank#}3{#/blank#} long history of more than 2300 years, the "Long Wall" was built in different areas by different dynasties {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (protect) their territorial (领土的) borders. During the construction of the Great Wall, there were many {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (interest) legends and stories, such as Meng Jiang Nü weeping over the Great Wall, a sad {#blank#}6{#/blank#} romantic love story.

    Today, the Great Wall has become a place {#blank#}7{#/blank#} interest not only to the Chinese but also to people all over the world. Perhaps the most {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (wide) famous advertising words in history come from the poetic pen of Chairman Mao: "He {#blank#}9{#/blank#} has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man," Actually, since the Great Wall was opened to the public, hundreds of millions of visitors {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) to its various sections.

    Anna had a car accident when she was a teenager. She lost her arms because of that. What's worse, when she was twenty years old, she lost her parents. Her elder sister, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is ten years older than her, told her she'd take care of her. However, Anna refused {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live) with her. Instead, she said she would take care of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (she). She managed to enter college and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study) very hard. Four {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(year) later, she graduated and offered work. Once she wrote in her diary, "I am quite lucky. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I lost my arms, I still have my legs." Anna lost her arms, but she chose to face it in a positive way. Instead of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (feel) sad every day, she decided not to let it hold her back. She has taught us {#blank#}8{#/blank#} good lesson.

    When something bad happens to us, we have two {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (choose). One is to complain, and the other is to face it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (brave). If we choose to escape, it will always follow us wherever we go. If we decided to be strong, new hopes will come. So choose wisely.
