Mickey Mouse's ears are well known all over the world, and this year will be an especially fun one for Disney. The company is celebrating 60 years since its first theme park, Disneyland, opened in California, US in 1955.

Disney has opened many more parks all over the world since it made history in California, Shanghai Disneyland is expected to open in 2016, bringing Disney's popular parks here to the Chinese mainland for the first time.

So why has Disneyland been so popular for 60 years? Well, it's described as "the Happiest Place on Earth" and "a place for the young and young at heart”. Many Americans have grown up with the parks, as ex—Disneyland president Paul Pressler said in 1995: " There is an emotional relationship that people have with this park.”

Disneyland was one of the first theme parks anywhere in the world that had “lands” and rides with themes. Disney's storytelling in rides like roller coasters is a big reason for their parks' success. “We tell a story in everything we do,”Pressler said. Disney rides such as The seven Dwarves Mine Train and Peter Pan's Flight come from its movies. One ride from its 2013 hit movie Frozen will surely be coming soon, perhaps at the new Shanghai Disneyland.
Disney's parks haven't always been popular everywhere, however. When Disneyland Paris opened in 1992, some French people felt that American culture was invading(入侵)France. But still, the park stayed open and today it is a popular place for European visitors.

Whatever you may think of them, you can't say that on their 60 th birthday, Disney's parks aren't still going strong. How many Disney theme parks will you have visited by the time their 70 th birthday comes around?

   For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (欧洲).In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example.The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million.In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through these channels.
    In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day.Then the government allowed (允许) more telepshopping.Other channels can open for telebusiness, including (包括) the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company.German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
    Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes .With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason.But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.They call teleshopping “junk (垃圾) on the air”.Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
    The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

 Jason and his father were going to a supermarket by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a loud sound heard across the ground.

 Jason's father immediately realized that a tornado(龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Jason couldn't see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn't getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.

 As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch (灌溉渠). He felt really afraid inside because he'd never been in a tornado before. His heart began to race and he could feel sweat dripping down from his face. In a panic, he started running towards the ditch as fast as he could. He stumbled(绊倒)a bit as he climbed down into it, but soon he was lying flat on the ground, hiding inside. He could hear his heart beating even more loudly and felt his whole body shaking.____

 After a while, the wind died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage.

 He stood up and with his legs shaking and walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.

"Jason! How are you? I've been so worried about you!" said his father. "I couldn't find you anywhere!"

 Jason breathed a sigh of a relief(松了一口气) and sat down. He did have a story to tell!

 One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always.

I had been picked to be the 1  in the school play. My mom helped me2  my lines over and over again. But no matter how well I said my lines at home, as soon as I got on the stage,I 3  all my words.

 Finally, my teacher explained that she had written a narrator's(旁白) part, and asked me to change4 .

I didn't tell my mother what had happened 5 I went home for lunch that day. But she noticed I was 6  , so she didn't ask me to practice my lines. Instead, she invited me to take a walk with her in the7 .

 It was a lovely spring day, and the leaves of rose plants were getting 8 . In the grass, we saw lots of yellow dandelions(蒲公英) popping up. My mom stopped 9  a group of plants. "I think I am going to clear out all the other 10 , and then we will only grow roses in this garden."

"I don't really want to remove them, because I like dandelions," I argued. "All flowers are beautiful!" My mother 11  me seriously." Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, and that's 12 of people too," she said. "Not everyone can be a princess, but it's okay not to be one."

 Relieved that she had guessed my sadness, I started to 13  as I told her what had happened. "But you will be an excellent narrator," she said, The narrator is as 14 as the princess."

 In the coming weeks, she kept cheering me on, and I started to take pride in the new role. Lunchtimes were spent reading over15 lines and talking about what I would wear.
