Originally called Santa Fe, the town of Santa Claus, Indiana, selected its new name in the 1850s. The United States Postal Service refused to set a post office there because another town in Indiana had the same name, which inspired the town people to change the name of the town to Santa Claus. In the early 1940s, industrialist Louis J. Koch bought 260 acres of land there to create the world's first theme park as a retirement project. He was troubled that the tiny hamlet of Santa Claus was visited by children who would be disappointed when they discovered Santa was not there. Then Santa Claus Land opened in 1946. offering a toy shop, toy displays, a restaurant, themed rides designed just for children, and, of course, daily appearances of Santa himself. The history of the park is the story of a family which has, for seven decades, dedicated itself to providing millions of guests with good, old-fashioned family fun. Over the decades, Santa Claus Land flourished. Children from across the country came to sit on the real Santa's knee and whisper their Christmas wishes. Guests included Ronald Reagan, who stopped by in 1955. As the park grew, the Koch family knew Christmas was not the only theme possibility for the park. In 1984, Santa Claus Land expanded to also include Halloween and 4th of July sections, and the park's name was changed to a more appropriate one, Holiday World. In 1993, Splashin' Safari Water Park was added. In 2006, the park introduced a new holiday. The Thanksgiving section included a recording-breaking new wooden coaster, The Voyage, which helped increase the park's seasonal attendance past the one-million mark for the first time. In 2013, TIME magazine named The Voyage the nation's best wooden roller coaster. Throughout its history, Holiday World has set high standards for the theme park industry, with a steadfast adherence to the values established in the family. 【1】Why did a post office fail to be set in Santa Fe?

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards. Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet. 【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The basic data of the Transition. B. The advantages of flying cars. C. The potential market for flying cars. D. The designers of the Transition. 【2】Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways? A. It causers traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It is very expensive. D. It burns too much fuel. 【3】What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car? A. Cautious B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s First Flight C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality |

We often hear about the negative effects of stress that may lead to sleep difficulties, heart attacks and increases in weight.【1】Scientists have found that our abilities peak (达到高峰) under moderate (适度的) level of stress. 【2】For example, we are more likely to remember something under some levels of stress. If you're worried about a test or presentation, then the anxiety tells you that you need to study. If you are anxious while driving, the stress tells you to pay attention. However, when those stressful events are continuous, negative results will be produced.【3】If you can control your stress properly, there can be many benefits, including a long life. Researchers have found a new form of stress called chromatin (染色质) stress, which can result in a response in cells that leads to a longer life. But the research was done in yeast (酵母).【4】 So how do you know whether stress is healthy or not? It's hard to say, but ignoring it by sitting in front of the TV or drinking wine doesn't make any sense.【5】Getting quality sleep, exercising, deep breathing and spending time with friends are all active ways to deal with stress. A.Chocolate has a very strong anti-stress function. B.The real way to reduce stress is to deal with it positively. C.So the key is keeping stress limited to a proper range. D.But what's not often talked about is that some stress is beneficial. E.Researchers continued examining its long and short-term influences. F.Such stress is able to push you just to the level of best performances. G.If it has the same response in humans, it could lead to new treatments in the aging process. |
