It was a vision of a place where children and parents could have fun together. The more Walt dreamed of a magical park, the more imaginative and elaborate
22、 it became.The original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and families could go to relax. Although, World War II put those plans on hold. During the war, Disney had time to come up with new ideas, and creations for his magical park. It was soon clear
23、that 8 acres wouldnt be enough.Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a survey for a 100-acre site, outside of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying elephants and giant teacups; a fairy-tale castle, moon rockets, and a
24、scenic railway; all inside a magic kingdom he called Disneyland.The search for the best venue for the park ended in the rural Anaheim, California with a purchase of a 160-acre orange grove near the junction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and Harbor Boulevard. Construction for Disneyland began on Jul
25、y 21, 1954, 12 months before the park was scheduled to open.Some 160-acres of citrus trees had been cleared and 15 houses moved to make room for the park.

They were programmed to do that,” said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While
42、 men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age.

50、.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American A
51、utomobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive (too g
52、reat) speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (danger) are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.S
53、ome studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression
54、that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.66. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that _.A. they should avoid driving fast. B. they are d
55、riving in the wrong lane C. they should slow down their speed D. they are coming near to the speed limit67. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _.A. can keep drivers awake B. can cut road accidents in half C. will look more attractive D. will have a longer eff

They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles.D. They are ignored in a long period of time.70. Whats the best title of the passage?A. a
