Although, World War II put those plans on hold. During the w ar, Disney had time to come up with new ideas, and creations for his magical park. It was soon clear that 8 acres wouldn't be e nough.Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute condu ct a survey for a 100-acre site, outside of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rive rs, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying elephants a nd giant teacups; a fairy-tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a mag ic kingdom he called "Disneyland."The search for the best venue for the park ended in the rural A naheim, 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 July 21, 1954, 12 months before the park was scheduled to ope n.Some 160-acres of citrus trees had been cleared and 15 houses moved to make room for the park. However, when the real designing cam e around, Disney met with inevitable questions. How do you ma ke believable wild animals, that aren't real? How do you make a Mississippi paddle ship? How do you go about building a huge castle in the middle of Anaheim, California? Disney asked his movie studio staff for answers. The design of Disneyland was so mething never done before. There would be four uniquely diffe rent theme parts: Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland To morrow land. Bit by bit, Disneyland got ready for Opening Day. The staff worked around the clock to get ready.But opening day was a terrible disaster. Besides the terrible o pening day conditions, the park did eventually pick up. By 1965, ten years after opening day, 50 Million visitors had come throu gh the gates.36. The passage is mainly about___________.A. How Disneyland came into beingB.

The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang,a student majoring in human resourcesat Chongqing University of Science and Technology,who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.Yang’s story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country’s wealthiest cities. They have diplomas,rather than professional skills, and come to big cities in hopes of better lives. only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.They are China’s "ant tribe(蚁族) ",a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe "They’re so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They’re intelligent and hard-working,yet nameless and underpaid. "The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle—only the strongest survive.A survey in Lian’s another book published this year, AntTribeⅡ,found nearly30 percent of "ants" are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year’s percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition,7.2 percent of "ants" have at least a master’s degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.An "ant’s"average monthly sala ry is l,904 yuan,with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million "ants" live in big cities."Most ants are from rural families or small towns,and their experiences in universities didn’t arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities’employment markets.
