It's Not a Small World, after all... covering 40 square
miles, Walt Disney World Resort is about the size of San Francisco or two
Manhattan islands. Of the more than 25,000 acres, less than 35 percent has been
developed with a quarter designated as a wilderness preserve.
A Cast of Thousands... around 62,000 to be more
precise. That's how many people it takes
to create the magic at the Vacation Kingdom.
Not surprisingly, Walt Disney World Resort is the largest single-site
employer in the United States.What the Well-Dressed Mouse Will Be Wearing...
depends entirely on the occasion. Mickey
Mouse himself has more than 290 different sets of duds, ranging from a scuba
suit to a tuxedo. Minnie Mouse's
wardrobe contains more than 200 outfits, including everything from a
cheerleader ensemble to evening gowns.
I'm Dreaming of a "Green" Christmas...The 1,500
Christmas trees at Walt Disney World Resort won't be the only "green"
holiday delights this season as each Walt Disney World resort hotel will glow
with new "conservation" lighting - more than 700,000 LED lights in
all. String the bulbs end to end and the
strand would stretch for 96 miles or light the path from Jacksonville to
Orlando, all while using 1/10th of the power of traditional incandescent bulbs.
Who's Still Thirsty?... More than 75 million Cokes are
consumed each year at Walt Disney World Resort along with 13 million bottles of
water. Guests also gobble 10 million
hamburgers, 6 million hot dogs, 9 million pounds of French fries and more than
300,000 pounds of popcorn.
Gone But Not Forgotten...Walt Disney World Lost and Found
is one busy place. Every day an average
of 210 pairs of sunglasses are turned in and, since 1971, an estimated 1.65
million pairs of glasses have found their way into the "lost"
bin. On an annual basis, Lost and Found
cast members collect more than 6,000 cell phones, 3,500 digital cameras, 18,000
hats and 7,500 autograph books.
Strings 'n Things... Disney's only full-time harpist
entertains diners at Victoria & Albert's, a grand dining experience at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Bloomin' Beauty...
Nearly 12 percent of Walt Disney World property - an area
equivalent to nearly 3,000 football fields - is devoted to gardens and
maintained landscapes. That's 4,000
acres worth of beauty.

The Chester
Housing Company is building a new suburb
in Shanghai, a city with a population of more than 15 million people. But this
suburb is not like other parts of Shanghai. It is a little piece of England.
The name of the new area is "English Town". The manager of Chester
Housing, Tom Wilkinson, says many people in this area of China want to buy an
English house and live in an English town.
"This town is like Bristol or Chester. There
is an English square and there are pigeons to feed like in Trafalgar Square,
London. There are four English-style pubs and you can buy English beer to
drink. There is a canal and you can row a boat there like in Cambridge."
“Are there any cricket fields? "No, there
aren't any places to play cricket, because nobody in Shanghai can play this
game. But there is a football stadium like those in England. And the thing we
are very proud of is our shopping street. There are several shops where you can
buy traditional English food like fish and chips or Christmas Pudding."
The rich businessmen can do some gardening too. For
every house in "English Town", there is an English lawn and there are
long gardens with ponds and tall hedges. But there is one problem. The houses
in this part of town cost a minimum of $400,000!

Archaeologists
identify the mummy of a lost Egyptian queen - By Melissa Kong
Egyptian
archaeologists announced on Wednesday that they have identified a mummy
discovered in 1903 as that of Queen Hatshepsut (hat-shep-soot), Egypt’s most
powerful female pharaoh. The mummy was originally found in the Valley of the
Kings, a sacred burial site for kings and powerful nobles located on the west
bank of the Nile River in Egypt. Although the mummy was discovered more than a
century ago, it remained in a tomb until this past spring, when it was brought
to the Cairo Museum for testing.
A Powerful
Ruler’s Legacy
Queen Hatshepsut was
the only woman to rule ancient Egypt while the kingdom was at the height of its
wealth and power, from about 1502 to 1482 B.C. Of all the female
pharaohs–including Cleopatra and Nefertiti–Hatshepsut’s reign was the longest
and most successful. While in power, she established trade routes and built
hundreds of monuments and temples throughout Egypt. Despite her prosperous
reign, both her mummy and her legacy were virtually erased from Egyptian
history. Many historians believe that Tuthmose III, Hatshepsut’s stepson,
destroyed records and monuments bearing her name. It may have been his revenge.
It is believed that she stole the throne from him. Finding the mummy of this
powerful queen may provide details about an important part of Egyptian history.

SUBIECTUL II READING COMPREHENSION (25 POINTS)
The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem. Doctors think that the annual
medical cost for lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses connected to smoking is between
12 and 35 million pounds. And smoking costs society money in other ways. Between 27 and 61
billion pounds are spent each year on sick days when people don't go to work, on wages that you don't get when you don't go to work, and on work lost at the company when you are sick. This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes. This does not count fire started by cigarettes, which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and injure another four thousand. Smoking costs every man, woman and child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages. When you add another fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost, that comes to one hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten pounds. If everyone stopped smoking, a family of four could have up to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds a year more. Smoking will also cause other problems. People who don't smoke will live longer, and so they will take money from the government when they are old. But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes. In the end, the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds. The good health of the people is the true value for us all.
