HONG KONG — Hong Kong Disneyland is too crowded, a senior Chinese tourism official said today, hinting that another Disney Park is necessary to accommodate demand from China’s huge population.
The comments by Shao Qiwei, director of China’s State Administration of Tourism, came a day after Shanghai’s mayor Han Zheng said the city was preparing to build China’s second Disney theme park.
“China has a very large population. We now have 1.3 billion people. The market is very large. As far as I know, Hong Kong Disneyland is now very crowded,” said Shao, whose comments were broadcast on Hong Kong’s Cable TV.
The Hong Kong theme park, which opened in September, was widely criticized in January when it turned away hundreds of Lunar New Year holiday makers from mainland China because the park was full. Chaos(混亂) erupted when angry crowds tried to force their way into the park.
The embarrassing incident prompted a public apology from Hong Kong Disneyland Managing Director Bill Ernest and a dressing down from Hong Kong’s leader Donald Tsang. Authorities are carefully studying the issue of overcrowding in preparation for the possible building of the Disney park in Shanghai, Shao said.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday that no agreement has been reached on the park in Shanghai, quoting senior vice president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Leslie Goodman. Hong Kong Disneyland is a joint venture between The Walt Disney Co. and the local government, which shouldered the bulk of the park’s construction fees.
【小題1】Why is it necessary to build a Disney park in Shanghai?

A．Hong Kong Disneyland can’t meet the need of the large population.
B．Hong Kong Disneyland is too small and very crowded.
C．Hong Kong Disney Park was criticized by tourists.
D．Hong Kong Disneyland is far from the mainland.
【小題2】Hundreds of visitors from Mainland China got angry because ________.
A．the services in the park were not as good as expectedB．they were not allowed to go into the park
C．the park was too crowdedD．chaos happened at the entrance to the park
【小題3】The building of a Disney park in Shanghai ________.
A．has been agreed to by The Walt Disney Co.
B．is financed The Walt Disney Co.
C．will be in the charge of the Shanghai government
D．remains to be discussed with The Walt Disney Co.

Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in different cultural experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three typical characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear.

    Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm when things do not go as one wants them to, or as one hopes they would, or even as one was sure they would. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not.

    A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in his own reaction than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.

    “The awareness of being unclear” is a more difficult concept to understand than patience and a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear as they are newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in a certain situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can’t be sure of different people’s roles in what is going on. “It’s like that I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said. “Things are just so different here.”

1.The passage mainly tells us ______.

A. about some uneasy traveling experiences in foreign countries

B. about the three main ways to communicate with foreigners

C. about some typical characteristics in different cultural experiences

D. how to show your characters to foreigners

2.According to the passage, which characteristic should be focused on most?

A. The ability to keep cool.    B. The sense of humor.

C. Patience.                D. The awareness of being unclear.

3.“The awareness of being unclear” refers to “______” .

A. not knowing what is happening in a situation

B. not understanding the local language well enough

C. being aware that the situation is unclear

D. not knowing how some system or organization works

4.By what the Chinese graduate student said, we can learn that ______.

A. he is not used to the culture of America

B. he went to the United States to study the moon

C. he is a person with a sense of humor

D. he has just returned from the moon
