MONEY – SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLD
Every time you visit Disney World, there’s something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high – tech, movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom . Each time the park expands(扩大), so do your chances to spend money. How can you save ? As a family guide to Disney World, I've been to the park more than 25 times with my kids , and I've developed a few money-saving tips for you.
●Buy the Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass. Even if you're visiting for fewer days , it's a deal (The pass costs $ 229 for visitors aged 10 and up , $ 183 for kids aged three to nine and is free for kids under age three). Without the pass , you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks . A single trip to Blizzard Beach , for example , would cost a family of four $100.
● Dine out at Lunchtime. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants , especially those in Epcot's World Showcase , are much lower at noontime than at any other time. It's wise to make reservations(预定)before you leave home . Call 407-W-DISNEY .
● Become a Gold Card Member. For $ 65 , you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1-800-56-DISNEY). Cardholders get up to 20% off Disney hotel rooms , plus prices on character breakfast , theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores .
● Don't Pay Extra to See a Character. Character-theme dinner shows are expensive , costing a family of four about $ 140 , and even a character breakfast , where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes , can set you back $ 50. If your budget (预算) is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows . You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show , for example , in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost , while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue needs expensive tickets .
● Wait Until the End of Your Trip to Buy Souvenirs. By then , the kids will really know what they want , and you won't waste money on expensive things .
If you are short of money, the writer suggests you should not .
A.buy things for the kids from Disney stores.
B.buy souvenirs at the beginning of the trip
C.make a trip to Blizzard Beach
D.have your meals out at noontime
Which of the following can be used in place of “set you back”
A.offer you B.save you C.return you D.cost you
You should pay more money if you .
A.have a five – day All – One Hopper Pass while you’re visiting for four days.
B.do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance..
C.are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder.
D.have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase
In the writer’s opinion, the better way of meeting the Disney cartoon character is .
A.to have a character breakfast
B.to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show
C.to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks
D.to attend the Hoop – Dee – Doo Musical Revue

My bike was a three-speed English “racer”, purchased during my second year in college in November 1964 for $44. Most of the money was earned by myself in my spare time, but I had to get my mother to help me out a little. At that time, bikes were rare on a college campus. My reason for getting a bicycle was a little strange. A friend of mine convinced me to take a summer job selling door-to-door and suggested that I should use a bicycle to travel between houses. The job didn’t work out, but the idea was in my brain.
That fall, I borrowed another student’s bike and rode 45 miles on the first day, but his bike soon had a flat(瘪了的轮胎) which he didn’t like fixing. So I had to buy one. I immediately started using mine almost every day. Before getting the bike, I sometimes walked 28 miles to my parents’ house. Now the bike gave me a quicker method, but my first trip took four hours due to strong headwinds that had me fight for every foot. Once I made a trip of 100 miles in one day. I decided to use the bike to go camping in the Smokies. During the trip, I recognized the need for handlebars and more gears, so I bought a ten-speed after just one year though I loved this bike.
The first bike “hung around” for a couple of years, and then I gave it to my sister’s kids who let it become part of their lives.
1.What can we learn from the passage?
A.His mother gave him some money when he bought the first bike. |
B.The first bike was a gift from his mother. |
C.He bought the first bike for racing. |

2.We can infer that besides studying at college the writer ____.
A.often helped his friend do business |
B.also worked in a factory |
C.had part-time jobs in his spare time |
D.had to make money to pay for his tuition |
3.The underlined phrase “the idea” in the first paragraph refers to “____”.
A.selling door-to-door |
B.buying a bike of his own |
C.borrowing a bike from others |
