    Disney extends theme park closures 'until further notice, citing coronavirus pandemic

    The Walt Disney Company said Friday that both Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will remain closed indefinitely due to the novel coronavirus.

    "While there is still much uncertainty with to the impacts of COVID-19, the safety and well-being of our guests and employees remains The Walt Disney Company's top priority," Disney said in a statement.

    "As a result of this pandemic and in line with direction by health experts and government officials, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will remain closed until further notice," the statement said.

    Disney previously announced that both U.S. parks and its Disneyland Paris Resort would be closed from March 14 through the end of the month because of the coronavirus, which has more than a half-million people around the globe and killed over 28,000, according to data maintained by Johns Hopkins University.

    In its latest statement, Disney said it has continued to pay park employees during the pandemic and will continue to do so through the middle of next month.

    "The Walt Disney Company has been paying its cast members since the closure of the parks, and in light of this ongoing and increasingly crisis, we have made the decision to paying hourly parks and resorts cast members through April 18," the statement said.

    Disneyland in Anaheim employs around 75,000 people and Disney World in Orlando employs roughly 31,000, The New York Times reported earlier this month.

    Union leaders workers employed at each of the parks sent letters to Disney earlier in the week pressing the company for details about its future plans for the pandemic.

    Disney's decision to shutter both U.S. parks is an unprecedented move for the company, which has rarely closed either in the decades since they first opened.

    The last time both Disney parks were shuttered was following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, The Times reported previously.

    The Historical Change of Reader's Digest

    During World War I, Mr. DeWitt Wallace was wounded in a battle. During his recovery in the hospital, he read a lot of magazines and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a lot of interesting information. At the same time, he also found that few people had time to read so many magazines that he realized the idea of excerpting (摘录) these articles and publishing them.

    He was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to publish a pocket magazine they called Reader's Digest with his wife Lila Acheson. They opened an office downstairs in an illegal hotel in Greenwich Village, New York, and spent only $5,000 in capital and began {#blank#}3{#/blank#} subscribers. After a period of hard work, the first volume was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} published on February 5, 1922. Its purpose is to inform the readers in daily life and give the readers entertainment, encouragement and guidance. The first article, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} How to Stay Young Mentally, was one and a half pages long.

    In 1920, he put {#blank#}6{#/blank#} selected articles into Reader's Digest samples and displayed them to major publishers in the United States. He hoped that someone would be willing to publish them, but they were all {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Mr. Wallace did not give up and decided to publish it himself. He worked at home with his wife, and finally published the first issue of Reader's Digest in February 1922. The first was printed in 5,000 copies, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} at 25 cents, and sent to 1,500 payment subscribers by mail. By 1935, the circulation of Reader's Digest had reached one million copies.

    The Chinese {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of Reader's Digest was first published in March 1965. The first editor-in-chief was Lin Taiyi, the daughter of Mr. Lin Yutang, master of literature. In November 2004, Reader's Digest and Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau announced the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of a long-term publishing cooperation.

    Now, let me say a few words to our American friends. Climate change is one of the major{#blank#}1{#/blank#}of our time. It is already changing our daily lives but it is global. Everyone is impacted. And if we do nothing, our children will know a world of migrations, of wars, of shortage. A dangerous world. It is not the future we want for ourselves. It is not the future we want for our children. It is not the future we want for our world.

    Today, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced his decision to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the United States from the Paris Agreement. I do respect his decision, but I do think it is an actual mistake both for the US and for our planet.

    I just said it to President Trump, in a few words a few minutes ago this{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Tonight, I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history.

To all the scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say they will find in France a second homeland. I call on them—come and work here with us, to work together on{#blank#}4{#/blank#}solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you: France will not give up the fight.

    I reaffirm clearly that Paris agreement will remain irreversible and will be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}not just by France, but by all the other nations. Over the coming hours, I will have the opportunity to speak with our main partners to define a common strategy and to launch new {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. I already know that I can count on them.

    I call on you to remain confidence. We will succeed, because we are {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, because wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility to make our planet great again.
