Mickey Mouse’s ears are well known all over the world, and this year will be an especially fun one for Disney. The company is celebrating 60 years since its first theme park, Disneyland, opened in California, US in 1955.

Disney has opened many more parks all over the world since it made history in California. Shanghai Disneyland is expected to open in 2016, bringing Disney’s popular parks here to the Chinese mainland for the first time.

So why has Disneyland been so popular for 60 years? Well, it’s described as “the Happiest Place on Earth” and “a place for the young and young at heart”. Many Americans have grown up with the parks, as ex—Disneyland president Paul Pressler said in 1995: “There is an emotional relationship that people have with this park.”

Disneyland was one of the first theme parks anywhere in the world that had “l(fā)ands” and rides with themes. Disney’s storytelling in rides like roller coasters（過(guò)山車） is a big reason for their parks’ success. “We tell a story in everything we do,” Pressler said. Disney rides such as The seven Dwarves Mine Train and Peter Pan’s Flight come from its movies. One ride from its 2013 hit movie Frozen will surely be coming soon, perhaps at the new Shanghai Disneyland.

Disney’s parks haven’t always been popular everywhere, however. When Disneyland Paris opened in 1992, some French people felt that American culture was invading(入侵)France. But still, the park stayed open and today it is a popular place for European visitors.

Whatever you may think of them, you can’t say that on their 60th birthday, Disney’s parks aren’t still going strong. How many Disney theme parks will you have visited by the time their 70th birthday comes around?

1.This year will be especially fun for Disney because____.

A. it is going to celebrate its 60th birthday

B. it’s described as “the Happiest Place on Earth”

C. Americans have a special relationship with Disneyland

D. Mickey Mouse’s ears are well known all over the world

2.The underlined expression “Young at heart” in Paragraph 3 refers to ____.

A. young people B. people with young hearts

C. American people only D. Disneyland president

3. Which of the following is TRUE about Disneyland?

A. Disneyland has been built in US only.

B. Shanghai Disneyland has been opened.

C. People still don’t like Disneyland Paris.

D. Disney’s storytelling in rides helps it succeed.
