Can't wait for the opening of the Shanghai Disney Resort in 2015? Meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse and all their friends at the city's largest Disney exhibition at the Shanghai Super Brand Mall.
The exhibition invites visitors to have a taste of the Disneyland under construction, according to the organizer. Many of the exhibits have been transported from the Walt Disney Family Museum in Los Angeles, like the manuscripts of early animation producers.
The center of the mall's third floor has been transformed into a magic house with a giant Mickey above, greeting visitors. Classic cartoon figures, created by the company and its sub-companies over the past 90 years, are presented, including Winnie the Pooh.
Visitors can enjoy one of Disney's earliest film, Steamboat Willie. The film, which was screened in New York city in 1928, was considered the first fully synchronized sound cartoon. It was also the first time that Mickey and Minnie first appeared.
Visual and audio technologies have been applied to make the exhibition interactive.
In the Snow White section, a magic mirror on the wall astonishes visitors. Like the evil queen in the fairytale, visitors can stand before the mirror and ask: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" One can see images of Snow White appear in the mirror.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, produced by the company, was considered the world's first full-length animated featured film.
In the Lion King section, stand at a designated position and enjoy the songs from the film in surround sound. The Lion King, Disney's 32nd full-length animated film, was one of the most successful Disney films and was turned into a Broadway opera.
Still the most charming star of the exhibition is Mickey Mouse, while the brightest of all is a Mickey Mouse model inlaid with more than 20,000 Swarovski crystals.
Four young artists, Yan Wei and Guan Chun from the Chinese mainland, and Dorophy Tang and Kenny Wang from Hong Kong, created different series of Mickey Mouse models with their personal styles.
Besides Disneyland, in 2015, the Walt Disney Company China will open the world's largest Disney Store, which will cover about 5,000 sq m in Lujiazui, Shanghai's financial hub.

The speech by President Obama in Shanghai
Good afternoon. It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you. What I’d like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I’m really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we’ve received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman. And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.
This is my first time traveling to China, and I’m excited to see this great country. Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world—the high skyscrapers (摩天大楼), the busy streets and entrepreneurial(创业) activity. And just as I’m impressed by these signs of China’s journey to the 21st century, I’m eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China’s distant past.
Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I’m in Beijing to see the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Truly, this is a nation that has both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.
The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries. Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China. It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter(新篇章) of engagement between our governments and among our people. However, America’s ties to this city—and to this country—date back further, to the earliest days of America’s independence.
How many times does President Obama has come to China?
A.one | B.two | C.three | D.four |
What can we infer from the the passage?
A.the Shanghai Communique plays an important role in maintaining(维持) the relationship between the two countries |
B.China has a long history |
C.Shanghai has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China. |
D.President Obama is eager to see those ancient places |
Put the following statements in the right order.
a. President Obama will see the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.
b. President Obama is in Shanghai.
c. The Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter(新篇章) of engagement between our governments and among our people.
A.abc | B.cba | C.bca | D.bac |
What can be inferred after the last passage?
A.It is about the earliest history of the relationship between the United States and China. |
B.It is about America’s independence. |
C.It is about the earliest days of America’s independence. |
D.It is about the earliest history of Shanghai. |
A new study finds that more than 13 million deaths could be prevented in China over the next 40 years if the country had stronger anti-smoking measures. But the study's authors say China has not taken many steps to control the use of tobacco. The study was published in the British Medical Journal.
China signed the World Health Organization's international treaty on tobacco control in 2003. But it has not put in place many of the WHO ideas to help people stop smoking. Experts say following these ideas could cut smoking by 40 percent before the year 2050. Without stronger anti-smoking measures, there could be 50 million tobacco-related deaths in the country over that time.The authors of the study used a computer program called "SimSmoke" to make their predictions.
David Levy works at Georgetown University's Lombardi Cancer Center in Washington, DC. He says China has one third of the world's cigarette smokers. More than half of the men in China smoke. Mr. Levy says people often begin smoking without knowing it will harm their health. He says people in some countries smoke because it makes them feel important.
"Smoking, you know, once it gets established and in many of the low- and middle income countries, you know there's a kind of a prestige initially to smoking."
The WHO plan calls for a ban on smoking in all public places. It also calls for countries to place health warnings on cigarette containers and offer programs to help people stop smoking. And, it says, there should be high taxes on tobacco.
Experts say a 75 percent increase in cigarette taxes could save about 3.5 million lives. They say an end to cigarette advertising could save two million lives. After signing the WHO agreement, China placed a 12 percent tax on cigarettes. But the government did not force Chinese smokers to pay the tax.
One of the authors of the new study is Teh-we Hu. He is a professor of public policy economics at the University of California Berkeley. Professor Hu says China's culture and society are changing. He says President Hu Jintao supports a ban on smoking in public. The president also wants people to stop giving cigarettes as gifts to officials and employers. Mr. Hu says the most effective anti-smoking measure in China would be a large increase in the cigarette tax. But he does not expect that to happen soon.
To prevent people from smoking,which is wrong about the WHO plan?
A.The WHO plan calls for a ban on smoking in all public places. |
B.The WHO plan calls for countries to place health warnings on cigarette containers. |
C.The WHO plan calls for offering programs to help people stop smoking. |
D.The WHO plan calls for there should be low taxes on tobacco. |
If China has stronger anti-smoking measures, about ________ lives could be saved over the next 40 years.
A.3.5 million | B.more than 13 million | C.50 million | D.40 million |
What does the underlined phrase “put in place” mean in Chinese?
A.carry out | B.put something in the correct place | C.stop | D.begin |
According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.After signing the WHO agreement, China placed a 75 percent tax on cigarettes. |
B.Experts say a 12 percent increase in cigarette taxes could save about 3.5 million lives. |
C.Experts say using stronger anti-smoking measures could cut smoking by 40 percent before the year 2050. |

The United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 1988. The panel is a committee made up of hundreds of scientists. Last week, an IPCC working group released a report about climatic conditions around the world.
Scientists are surer than ever before that the Earth is warming and that human activity is to blame. That is the message of the new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. As we hear from Christopher Cruise, the report's findings will help inform policy makers and the public as they consider action to fight climate change.
One-hundred-ten governments approved this scientific agreement:
"It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century."
The head of the World Meteorological Organization, Michael Jarraud, spoke at a press conference about the new report.
"It should serve as yet another wake-up call that our activities today will have a profound impact on society, not only for us, but for many generations to come."
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been losing mass and glaciers continue to shrink, the report says. It calls the decrease of Artic sea ice, "unprecedented," meaning nothing like this has been noted before. The report also examines the mean rate of sea level rise. It says that since the middle of the 19th century, the rate is higher than at any time in the past 2000 years.
The working group also examined the connection between extreme weather events and climate. Brenda Ekwurzel is a climate scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, a non-profit group. She has worked with the scientists who prepared the IPCC report.
"The most we can say is that extreme events dealing with coastal flooding and extreme heat, (we have) very, very high confidence with these events being highly linked to climate change."
She says the report blames human activity for half of the increased warming over the past fifty or so years. One such activity is the burning of fossil fuels in factories, buildings and cars. This produces heat-trapping gasses.
Past IPCC reports have led the way to international agreements like the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. It ended in 2012. The United Nation's top climate official, Christiana Figueres, says the new report will help move new climate talks forward.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is sometimes criticized as appearing to be too conservative in its predictions. But, Ms. Figueres says this report is right on the mark.
"Everything that we thought we knew about climate change has been underestimated, that we will have much faster and much more intense effects from the growing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. So, it's a very sobering message that calls for a more invigorated and more accelerated policy response to address that."
Government leaders and climate experts will get a chance to do that at the climate negotiations next month. The talks will take place in the Polish capital, Warsaw.505
What does the underlined word “sobering”mean in the last paragraph?
A.satisfactory |
B.serious |
C.disappointing |
D.unbelievable |
According to the passage, the Earth is warming due to_______.
A.human activity |
B.the burning of fossil fuels |
C.heat-trapping gasses |
D.the burning of fossil fuels in cars |
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Christopher Cruise says that our activities today will have a profound impact on society. |
B.Ms. Figueres says that climate change calls for a more invigorated and more accelerated policy response to address that. |
C.Michael Jarraud says that the report blames human activity for half of the increased warming over the past fifty or so years. |
D.Brenda Ekwurzel says that It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20thcentury. |

THINK 'ADDING VALUE' (and you'll get more money)
Most people either 'like' their job, 'loathe' their job or 'love' their job. Everyone wants to make more money regardless of how they feel about their job. The secret to making more money is, focus on adding value. Think less of what you can have or acquire. ___________You don't always have to do more though we always can do more. What you might consider is 'doing different'. Let me explain.
1. Do you choose to be happy at work? It's a choice. And you can do it. It's a lot of 'mind over matter'. Mind what's important and the rest doesn't matter. ____________ When you choose to be happy, you will affect others in the workplace.
2. ______________Michael's definition of a 'drag' is, a person who 'drastically reduces all good.' Of course, they have a bad attitude. If you're this kind of person, you can change. Start being positive. Start by giving subtle and honest praise to co-workers. If you've been a 'drag', don't go to work tomorrow being Pollyana. Just start looking for authentic reasons to give others some praise. It will set you apart from everyone else. People will perceive you as being more caring and more interested in them. Your influence will skyrocket especially if you're in an environment where there is little praise and encouragement.
3. CHOOSE what you are going to think. Most people have relinquished control of their brains to CNN, ABC, NBC, 'the way things are', society, drama, negativity and the like. It's time to take back charge of your brain. Get your focus directed. Like Paul said in the bible, "Think on these things. Things that are true, are of a good report, are honorable, are positive." __________If you have nothing to read that is positive, send me your email address and I'll send you a free copy of my 'Powerful Attitudes' e-book. Read a little every morning. It will positively and powerfully affect the rest of your day.
When you change you, you will add value in your workplace. Like the late great business philosopher, Jim Rohn said, "You can take out the garbage at McDonalds and earn minimum wage. But if you take out the garbage and whistle as you do it every day, you're likely to earn 50 cents more per hour."
Add value to your workplace by controlling your own attitude. ______________.
A.Start your day by reading something positive. |
B.Think more of what you can do, produce or create. |
C.Just be yourself and create a strong self image. |
D.Are you a 'drag'? |
E. Your attitude and your happiness is important.
F. Fall in love with it.
G. You will advance faster and in time, make a lot more money.
On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat __________ in the car.
Though Mother’s Day _______ Earth Day, for me, they have always been _________ each other. My mom has been “green” since she became_________ the environment. Part of this habit was _________of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom _________her plastic bags.

Spiders that __________ their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be ________ in the garden.
I try to________ my children that looking out for the environment starts with being ________of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and _________ plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by __________. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to ________ living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.
I am slowing down and it isn’t __________the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to ___________ the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
Last summer, in the _________of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to __________ with my mom.

It is universally known that opportunity is important, and you could not seize one without being equipped with competitive forces, which you could approach success.
One year ago, I studied in the high school and whenever I failed an exam, I felt frustrated and thought it was a bad luck which contributed to my failure. At that time, when my father asked me whether
I prepared for the exam and mastered the basic knowledge or not, I felt ashaming and couldn’t say a single word. From then on, I grasped every chance to learn how to make good use of my study resource. With the improving on basic reading and calculating skills, I succeeded the College Entrance Exam.
Only then did I realize how important it was to make a fully preparation.
