Allen: I’ve never been a big fan of the bears, especially the vacation show. On my last trip to Disneyland(1999) we passed it by, because we didn’t want to spend the time on something we didn’t really enjoy. If we’d known it would be closed by our next visit, I’m sure we would have watched it one more time. I was just making the point that it wasn’t until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang(弹跳) up for the Country Bear show at Disneyland.
But I think the idea of keeping some attractions open forever regardless of the number of visitors it gets is a mistake. We all have great memories of the Bears, but clearly very few kids today (or I should say families today) are making those same memories from this show. That may be a sad fact, but it’s a fact. For whatever reason, the show doesn’t pull in the numbers. Isn’t it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction they like Otherwise aren’t we just telling the kids today that they "have to" make great memories of the Bears, when it’s obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears as we did
Roger: I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse. I remember going to the show as a child, and still enjoying it as a teenager, and now as a young adult. It is true that there aren’t a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less. Being at DL does require a lot of walking, and it is nice to have an attraction that is a place to sit and enjoy a good show. I understand that DL has to develop, but there has to be some history to the Disneyland that Walt Disney first designed. There should be some parts of DL that just never go away and this is one of them. By the time I have children it looks like there won’t be any attractions that I can say. I went as a child at the rate they are going.
Now the Bears are leaving. What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone! DL is the best, because of attractions like the Country-Bears. If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest, well, then it might as well be just another theme park.
Which of the following is NOT in the same group as the other three

A:An attraction. B:A theme park. C:The Bears. D:The latest magi

Nothing says "Happy Birthday!" like having a coin released in your honor by the United States Mint(铸币局), and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine different coins in honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.
Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issued starting February 12. The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.
The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.
The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money, 2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.
The one-dollar coin has a design of ______ on it.

A:a cabin B:Abraham reading C:the Illinois state capitol D:the Gettysburg Address theme

Many Children’s Deaths Preventable: WHO
Over five million children die each year from disease, infections and accidents related (1) their environment although many of these deaths are largely preventable, says the World Health Organization.
On Monday, the WHO asked governments and citizens around the world to take action to create healthy (2) for children as it celebrated World Health Day.
"The biggest threats to children’s health lurk (潜藏) in the very (3) that should be safest - home, school and community, said Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, director-general of the WHO at the day’s launch in New Delhi, India.
"Every child has the right to (4) up in a healthy home, school and community. The future development of our children — and of their world — depends on (5) enjoying good health now. We have their future in our (6). Now we must work more effectively together to (7) the risks from the environment which our children face," Brundtland said.
This year’s theme, "Healthy Environments for Children" focuses on the many dangers (8) by children in and around the places where they live and play.
These include inadequate access to safe (9) water and sanitation (卫生设备), insect-borne diseases, air pollution, chemical hazards and injuries from traffic, falls, burns and drownings.
Communities around the world organized events to promote awareness of children’s health issues, (10) included drawing contests for schoolchildren in Vietnam, street plays in India, puppet (木偶) shows in Namibia and professional lectures for policy makers in Germany and elsewhere.
Activities also took (11) in cities across Canada on Monday, including Calgary, Montreal, Halifax and Ottawa.
Although children under five represent only 10 per cent of the world’s population, they bear 40 per cent of the global disease (12), says the WHO. And as much as one-third of the total burden of disease may be caused by environmental (13).
World Health Day has been celebrated on April 7^th (14) 1950. Each year the WHO chooses a theme to highlight areas of particular concern. Last year’s (15), Move for Health, focuses on promoting physical activity as part of healthy living.
