“Runners, to your mark, Get t…” Bang! And I was off, along with a bunch of other teenage cross-country runners from high schools across the county. The day was like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland. But the race that day felt unique from the get-go. For one thing, I liked the cour. It was my team’s home cour, one I was ud to running during practices. It took runners along an area of land that included open fields, hills and even winding dirt paths through a small forest. It was a beautiful 5-kilometer cour. This particular race was our team’s invite, and I was proud to be sharing the cour with competitors from other schools. It also meant a lot―more than normal that my parents were there to cheer me on.
With so much to expect that day, I was ready to run! And I didn’t want to be stuck with the pack of other runners, as is typical at the beginning of most cross-country races. So when the gun sounded, I took off running, leaving everyone el in the dust.
The first part of our cour followed the outside edge of a large open field before disappearing into the forest. Within conds of the start, I was far ahead of everyone, and all of the fans could e it. It felt m
agnificent.
But that feeling didn’t last long. Little did I know my coach was laughing to himlf, thinking, “Gabe is done for!” And I was. My body was telling me to slow down. My pride, however, said “No! Not until you’re out of sight of the spectators!” I was in agony, but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest. Once in among the trees. I slowed way down.
I enjoyed most races, even while pushing mylf, but this one was not enjoyable in the least.
I finished the race, but in nowhere near the time I could have if I’d paced mylf well from the beginning. Every time I reflect on that cross-country ason, I’m reminded of something: Pride is no substitute for pace.

Sometimes when she felt bored, she would pick up one of the numerous biographies(传记) about herlf and begin to note on it. “I never did that” or “simply not true” she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages. Since journalists, biographers and more recently even “bloggers” had been writing about her since the day she was born, there was plenty of material to edit. Not that her
notes or corrections were ever shared with the authors. Lately, however, she even emed to have lost her appetite for correctness. Did it matter anymore if things were not right?
She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave tho around her confud and upt, should they ever catch her out. After all she was the decisive one, always on top of her game. A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table. A full day of openings and prentations, of smiling and nodding and flowers.
Shaking herlf out of her gray mood, she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea. The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph had considered she needed to read, she simply went to visit Mr. Google and began her arch for train timetable.
A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream, rved by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache. So many years had pasd but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls. Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watchful eye of her grandmother, who was a stickler for good manners. It was unlikely that they rved jelly on the trains the days, what with all the concern about childhood fatn
ess, but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey. As the timetable for Linehurst line flashed in front of her, she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short, predictable speech at the opening of the new bridge.

Disneyland’s opening day, July 17, 1955, was a terrible experience. Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply… All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday.
But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amument parks they often visited, eing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.

He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amument park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amume
nt park proposal that he prented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate tback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He arched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon lected.
The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called “Disneyland”. The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park.
Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests incread to 28,154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.
Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down.
56. What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amument park?
