Now,we can finally witner Walt's first dream. Before construction could start, Walt needed funding. He and his friend Ryman put their heads together and mapped but their dream for the Disneyland weekend, their idea came to life on paper you f notice by remarkable similarities to the modern Anaheim California park.
Like today, visitors would have entered the park into a street USA-type area. The tunnels aren't as wide as they were imagined more than 60 years ago, but park-goers are still greeted with a train passing overhead as they make their way to word the magic.( Even with a modern Disneyland map, it's tough to find these secret Disney park spots you never knew existed.)Walt always hoped a castle as a focal point of the park Its real-life copy changed from his initial dream. The first palace was a sprawling fortress, hiding a massive carrousel(旋转木马) beyond its walls ow,Sleeping Beauty Castle has more intricate towers, and King Arthur Carrousel takes its spins in Fantasy land, behind the palacelalr Walts vision for the Mark Twain steamboat circling around Tom Sawyer Island and its Pirate's Lair(t/t) hasn't changed much, though at that point it was called Frontier Country instead Frontier land. That was n,t the only name change, though. World of Tomorrow turned into Tomorrow land--and eventually lost its rocket. Astronauts walked on the moon 14 years after the par was built, making the Rocket to the Moon seem out-of-date. Meanwhile, True-Life Adventure land lost its first word, while most.

Passage four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage
You’ve made it. You managed to navigate your way through the world’s largest airport you breezed through security and you successfully boarded the plane. Now you’re comfortable in your seat in the cabin, and there’s even a little bit it
of elbow room, as the flight isn’t fully booked for once. With the hassle behind you, you settle in with your neck pillow, pop some Kenny G on your iPod, and get ready to spend quality time sleeping on a plane. And you’re abouto make a huge mistake that will put your health at risk, as reported by Travel + Leisure.
It’s not because of the Kenny G. It’s the shuteye part. According to Medline Plus, falling asleep during landing or takeoff could cause serious damage to your ears. It all has to do with the rapid changes in air pressure in the cabin. If you’re awake, a natural response to alleviate pressure on your eardrums during takeoff and landing is to “pop” them, to maintain a pressure equilibrium. If you’re sleeping on a plane, you can’t actively work to relax those muscles and release the tension, so you can become susceptible to dizziness, ear infections, eardrum damage, hearing loss and nose bleeds. “A quick change in altitude affects the air pressure in the ear,” says Angel Chalmers, a British pharmacist, via Express. “This leads to a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes(咽鼓管) which makes the ears feel blocked and sound dull.”
Keep those Eustachian tubes clear and keep those eyes open for at least another few minutes. Crack open that book you just bought in the terminal. After all, there are some major perks to buying your reading material at the airport.
