    Ticket price increases at HK Disney

    Source：Xinhua | 02―05―2009 11：39

    Hong Kong Disneyland announced on Tuesday it will raise weekday admission prices for mainland and overseas tourists by about 19 percent. But Hong Kong residents and tourists who purchase tickets through travel agents can still enjoy the old prices until June 30.

    A one-day admission will cost HK $350($45)for adults and HK $250 for children aged up to 11 from Monday, the previous charges for weekends. Adults were previously admitted for HK $295 and children HK $210.

    A Hong Kong Disneyland spokesman said the park does not expect the new pricing structure to have an immediate impact on attendances, as research shows guests choose when to visit the attraction based on time available rather than ticket prices. But the hikes(the rise of prices)drew immediate criticism from the industry. The greater tourism industry fears it may harm mainlanders willingness to visit Hong Kong.

           Joseph Tung Yao-chung, executive director of Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong, said the decision was unwise in the current financial climate. He also urged the company to rethink its decision, during an interview with Southern Metropolis Daily.

     

    56. On September 10 of 2009(weekday), Hong Kong residents and tourists will have to spend           buying three children tickets.

       A. HK $360    B. $360    C. HK $750  D. HK $885

    57. There is a family with five people, John，his father，mother，grandfather and grandmother. They are from America, John is eleven years old. If they visit the place on June 30 2009(weekday)，they will spend about         in total.

       A. $212    B. $1650    C. HK $1400  D. $1390

    58. What can we infer from the passage?

        A. Joseph Tung Yao-chung disagreed about the ticket price increase at HK Disney.

        B. Hong Kong Disneyland will make a lot of money by raising weekday admission prices for mainland tourists.

        C. The Hong Kong Disneyland spokesman didn't like the new pricing structure.

        D. Only tourists from mainland visit Hong Kong Disneyland.

    Located in Florence, Oregon is “Sea Lion Caves”, the only known western, coastal, mainland habitat of Stellar Sea Lions. It is also the world’s largest sea cave in existence today and a perfect place to get up close and personal with nature. The sea caves are said to be the home of an estimated 200 sea lions and that at any given time visitors can expect to see at least 150 sea lions going about their daily business.

    They tend to breed and give birth during the spring and summer months. The breeding and birthing process takes place on the steep cliff ledges that surround the sea cave. Therefore the best time to view this ritual is during those select months from the outside viewing platform.
    In addition to the sea lions, visitors can expect to catch a glimpse of the rare Pigeon Guillemont. These unusual sea birds tend to nest in seaweed along the cliff ledges in early April. And ever the graceful Gray Whales are expected to be seen. Each year, travelling in pods, these sea creatures migrate around “ Cape Blance” on their way to and from their native Alaska waters.

Children under the age of 2 are admitted for free and there is a discount ticket price available for senior citizens .
