Chapter Senven
The Fourth of July Celebration
This Friday； Americans will celebrate the Fourth of July…Independence Day in the United States。 A holiday will mark 210 years of independence。 As in past years； July Fourth will be a day of traditional parades； speeches and firework shows。 In addition some very special ceremonies will be held this year。 The ceremonies will honor one of America's most famus sights： the Statue of Liberty。
The Statue of Liberty stands on an island in New York harbor。 It was a gift to the pople of the United States from the people of France。 The purpose of the gift was to mark the alliance between American colonists and the French during America's war for independence。
The Statue of Liberty was completed 100 years ago； just in time for the July Fourth holiday in 1886。 During the years since then； the statue's metal parts became weak。 A project was begun to repair it。 Many people and companies gave money to the project。 They did not want to see this symbol of America fall apart。
Now； the repair work is done… just in time for this year's July Fourth holiday。 In some ways； the Fourth of July celebration has remained much the same since Americans first began observing the day。 Most Americans see it as huge birthday party … a party for the nation。
But the parades； speeches and even the fireworks have a more serious purpose。 They help citizens remember the events that led to American independence from Britain。

Lesson 2
Read the passage and answer this question：How did Disney get the idea for his first cartoon character？
Walt Disney
Walt Disney； the great film…maker； was born in Chicago in 1901。 Disney’s greatest wish was to be a famous artist。 When he was a young man； he went to a newspaper office in Kansas City where he was living。 He had some friends who worked in the office there。 He took along some of his pictures in the hope of getting a job there。 However； he had no luck。 They looked at his pictures and said； “Sorry； young man。 We don’t think there is anything of interest in your pictures。”
Disney’s friends tried to encourage him。 Don’t worry； Walt。 We like your pictures。 They’re very good。 We ‘re sure you’ll be well…known as an artist before long。”
Disney did not lose heart。 He continued to draw lots of pictures。 His family was poor and he used to sit in the family garage and draw pictures there。 One day a mouse came into the garage and played on the floor。 Disney stopped drawing and watched the mouse。 The mouse came towards him； so he gave the mouse a piece of bread。 Then the mouse came and sat on his desk。 Day after day the mouse came back and was given more bread。 In this way over several days the artist and his mouse became good friends。
Some years later； Disney moved to the west coast of the USA。 He tried to get work as an artist； but still he was unsuccessful。 One day he remembered the mouse that used to come out in his father’s garage。 He picked up his pencil and started to draw。 Day after day he experimented and drew different pictures of the mouse that he had known。 At last he was pleased with one of his pictures of the mouse。 He called it Mickey Mouse。
Disney’s success as a cartoon…marker had begun。 He soon drew other cartoon characters like Donald Duck and during the 1920s and the 1930s he made scores of cartoons about them。 These cartoons were all short ones。 Before the days of television； They used to be shown in cinemas all over the country before the main film was shown。 Later Walt Disney made longer films。 All of them were liked very much by children。 Disney died in 1966。 But the studios which he started are still busy today； producing more and more interesting films。
One （A） plays a newspaper reporter。 One of others （B） plays the famous cartoon…maker … Walt Disney。 Well； A is asking the following questions。
i。 May I ask you when and where you were born； Mr Disney？

iii。 What were you most interested in when you were young？
iv。 Did you think you would be a famous artist as a young man

Disneyland
The company that Walt Disney started does not just make films。 In 1955 Walt Disney himself opened the first Disney park。 This was Disneyland in Los Angeles on the west coast of the USA。 Later； Disney World was opened on the east coast； in Florida； in 1971。 It cost between 550 and 600 million to build。
Tokyo Disneyland opened in Japan in 1983； and Europe Disney opened in France in 1992。
All the Disney parks are operated by the same company。 The workers have very strict orders。 They must wear clean shoes and clean trousers。 The men are not allowed to have beards。 If the workers have long hair； it must be tied back。 They always smile； and are always friendly and polite to visitors。 The parks are the cleanest parks that you can imagine。
In Disneyland you can find all the characters from Walf Disney’s films。 The Sleeping Beauty Castle is a favourite place for visitors。 You get a wonderful view from the top of the tower。 You can see as far as the coast。 Many of the streets in Disneyland are built to look like streets in the USA in the 1890s。 People walk around wearing ninetenth…century clothes。
The Tomorrow Land is very interesting。 You can go inside a spaceship and dri
