27、Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park, you will usually find a nighttime show that will be showing.
【1】. Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park.
●Plan on seeing the show in advance.
Usually, if you decide an hour beforehand that you’re going to see a show, you will likely end up not getting a good seat, unless the park is not very busy.【2】, or at least the day before.
●Do your research.
Research online: “The best places to view...”. 【3】 Some of them may even be less known, so you may not deal with such a big crowd.
●【4】.
In order to get a good spot, plan on arriving an hour before the event. Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day. If you arrive ten minutes before the event starts, you’re a lot less likely to get a good spot.
●Stay in the same area.
【5】, make sure that it’s extremely quick, and try to have another member of your party stay in your spot while you are away.

28、 If you’ve ever tried to have a regular movie night with your family, you know that choosing a movie everyone will like can be a difficult task. The kids may be interested in the latest cartoons, while Mom would prefer a love story, and Dad has his eye on something on war. 【1】Just when it seems like most are happy with the selection, one member of the family may disagree, and then the whole process starts all over again.
In these situations, you can try the “pick system ”, which works well for some families. The pick system is surprisingly simple and useful. It works like this: each member of the family gets one pick.【2】 The only rule is that, if it isn’t your pick, you must sit through the movie that is showing, without expressing strong dissatisfaction. 【3】 And you know that the rest of the family will have to watch it with you.
【4】 However, it is a proven method that avoids all the arguing (争论). If you have kids, it’ll teach them a lesson in consideration and patience. Using the pick system, you’ll find that your kids will start choosing movies that they think will be crowd-pleasers. The reason why this happens is very simple. Imagine it’s your pick, and you choose a movie everyone in the family ends up loving.【5】These words of praise are powerful positive reinforcements (强化) — it feels great when the people we love tell us that we did a good job.
A. The system may sound a bit silly.
B. One member of the family gets to choose the movie.
C. They’ll praise you for having made such a great choice.
D. In other words, everyone takes turns to choose the movie.
E. Then, the family may spend time arguing about which movie to watch.
F. When it’s your pick, you have the right to choose whatever movie you want.
G. If that system doesn’t work, the family may give up on movie night altogether
