Its Hong Kong theme park, opened in 2005, has had a difficult time due to early mistakes and compe

37、tition. But Disney doesnt throw in the towel in a market with 1.3 billion potential customers. After more than a decade of negotiations, Disney can build its second Disneyland in Shanghai.Disney officials wouldnt say when the park will open or how much it will cost. But the company stated in press r

38、elease that the Shanghai park will include “characteristics adapted to the Shanghai region”.The approval for park construction comes among Chinas ongoing efforts to develop its tourism sector, which is expected to increase by 3% this year.Since the mainland Chinese make up a third of visitors to Hon

39、g Kong Disneyland, some fear that the Shanghai park will take tourists away from the former park. Since opening four years ago, Hong Kong Disneyland has underperformed due to its small size 300 acres, the smallest of any Disney parks as well as high ticket prices and competition from Ocean Park.Disn

40、ey has also made several market miscalculations. Analysts say the company, in trying not to make the same mistakes it did in Paris by failing to be adapted to local tastes, may have done too much in its efforts to adapt the Hong Kong park to Chinese customers. For example, the parks restaurants orig

41、inally planned to serve the sharks fin soup, until environmentalists protested(抗议). Disney officials dismissed concerns that a new park in Shanghai will steal Hong Kong customers. “We see Hong Kong Disneyland and the Shanghai park as complementary(互补的),” said an official. “We believe the Chinese mar

42、ket is large enough to support more than one park.”Further expansion in Asia may be a good bet. Last year, roughly a quarter of Disneys profit came from overseas operations. Asia contributed just 5%, but leisure-industry experts are confident about the regions potential.60. The underlined phrase “th

46、isneyland was not so successful, failing to satisfy the taste of the local people.CA long-term American study shows the effect of early education on future learning abilities. The study followed more than 1,300 children from birth through the ages of ten or eleven years. The study is known as the Hu

47、man Development Study of Early Child Care. It is said to be the largest, longest lasting and most complete study of child care in the United States. The children included in the study were born around 1991 in ten areas of the country. Researchers examined the quality and amount of child care the chi

48、ldren received until they were 54 months old. Child care included any care provided by people other than the childs mother that lasted at least ten hours a week. This included any care given by fathers or other family members. The researchers then examined each childs performance in school and socia

49、l development.

The childrens understanding was observed using a method which shows their ability to name objects shown in some pictures. The study confirmed a link between high quality child care and better te

58、d a desktop computer, three laptops, a hard drive and a smart phone along with his paper files. And the writer John Updike, who died last month, started using computers in the 1980s, Winterkorn pointed out, so his “papers” will include a big store of electronic documents.So far, however, digital arc

59、hives have been traded as just a small part of a larger, mainly paper-based archive. Indeed, no one is quite sure how much the digital documents of a historical figure are worth.“I dont feel the same way about the printout of an e-mail as I do a letter,” said Gabriel Heaton, a literary manuscript sp

60、ecialist, adding that more tangible(有形的) digital objects were easier for auctioneers(拍卖商) to price and sell. “What about a laptop? For example, the one used by J.K. Rowling to write Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in an Edinburgh caf has real value,” he said. “Because she used it.” Even if t

61、he hard drive had been cloned by a library, the artifact would still be valuable.Gordon Bell, from Microsoft Research, suggested that prices will actually fall to almost nothing. “Once its been copied and spread out, the value is gone. Its just a piece of memory.”68. What is the purpose of the examp

Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free

65、to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts（施加） some influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified（分类） all our little weaknesses.

68、 biscuit baked by a listener. The response to this competition was active. Before long, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory. One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighed nearly 500 pounds. All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. The largest wa

69、s 713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win the prize. But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly large biscuit which weighed 2,400 pounds.
