　　Dear Disney,

　　Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom－Disneyland．And one event made our visit seem truly magical．

　　We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice－cream on the ride．We were so excited that we all forgot ice－cream was not allowed on the ride．

　　Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do．Then Murphy, one of the staff(员工)members, came over．She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice－cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride．Gloria said, "Promise? " Then she gave Murphy her ice－cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride．

　　Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice－cream．Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice－cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida．Murphy knew' what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand－new ice－cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit．Gloria said, "Thank you, " but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice－cream．

　　We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special．Thanks so much for going above and beyond!

Your fan,

Carmen Rivera

　　Earthquakes are hard to predict．but do you know what to do before, during and after an earthquake? Here's some advice：

　　Before an earthquake It's necessary to prepare yourself and your family．All family members should know how to turn off gas, water and electricity and know useful telephone numbers(doctor, hospital, police, 119, etc．)．Never put heavy things over beds．

　　During an earthquake It's important for each of you to stay calm．If you are indoors, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a strong table．The purpose is to protect yourself from objects, stay away from windows, large mirrors, heavy furniture and so on．If you're cooking, turn off the gas．If you're outdoors, move to an open area like a playground．Move away from buildings, bridge and trees．If you are driving, stop the car as soon as possible, staying away from bridges and tall building．Stay in your car．

　　After an earthquake Once the shaking has stopped, DO NOT run out of the building at once．It's better to wait and leave when it's safe．Check around you and help the people who are in trouble．If your building is badly broken, leave it．If you smell the gas, get everyone outside and open windows and doors．If you can do it safely, turn off the gas．Report it to the gas company．

　　Bicycles, a long-forgotten vehicle that seems to belong to the last century, are returning to the streets of Guangzhou, as the city starts to ban the running of motorcycle in urban Guangzhou．

　　“Business has never been so good for my shop,” said Chen Yongwu, a bicycle shop owner at the city's Donghua West Road, “I have to work 12 hours a day to meet the demand of my customers．”

　　“Even my wife and brother-in-law have to give me a hand lately．”

　　Chen originally ran a motorcycle repair shop．He grasped the opportunity of the motorcycle ban, and started his bicycle business soon after hearing about the banning．

　　“I sold 23 bicycles on January 2 alone．” Said Chen．

　　Bicycle is more convenient and healthier

　　“My home is one kilometer from the metro station,” said a middle-aged man who is waiting for his bicycle at Chen's shop, “it is too tiresome to walk to the station, but taking a bus for such a short distance is a waste of money．”

　　“So I decided to buy a bicycle．”

　　The bicycle costs around 600 yuan, which is equal to the bus fare of half a year．

　　“Besides, riding a bicycle to work is much healthier than riding a bus．”

　　The bicycle buyers can be categorized into two groups．One group of buyers buy the bicycles for the transportation of small commodities; the other ride the bicycles to work．

　　Arising problems

　　Riding a bicycle to work may be healthy, but it is not without problems．

　　The lack of bicycle lanes has posed a big threat to the safety of the bicycle riders in Guangzhou．

　　“I was riding my bicycle on Huifu West Road on day,” said Mr．Zhang, “then suddenly the bus pulled over besides me near the bus station．”

　　“I was so frightened at the time, because the bus nearly hit me．”

　　The sideways in Guangzhou are usually crowded with foot passengers, so citizens also could not use the sideways．

　　“It is worse than walking．”

　　Besides, finding a place a park the bicycles could be very difficult, much more difficult then finding a place to park your car．

　　“Good morning, George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed, too．I retired yesterday, just to keep everyone on his toes．Now, I have put the money back in your money-box-all six thousand．”
