28、The Statue of Liberty is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom. It was extremely generous of the people of France to give it to the American people, especially as the money was raised by donations from the public who recognized what the countries had in common. After all, both nations had fought revolutions to secure their nationhood.
Nowadays, it seems as though the gift has been returned with interest with the foundation of Euro Disney near Paris. Nevertheless, many French people feel it symbolizes a kind of “cultural colonialism”. To tell the truth, I would not welcome the presence of such a theme park in the middle of England, for the same reason. Mind you, neither England nor France has ever been afraid to export their own culture and values.
Anyway, it is not difficult to understand why they chose to build Euro Disney near Paris. It is a geographically logical site, in the centre of continental Europe, right by the capital city with its own attractions and so on. All the same, was it a culturally logical decision? There is the issue of “cultural colonialism” which I have already mentioned. What’s more, do the French need Mickey Mouse when they have their own cartoon hero in the form of the brave little Gaul, Asterix? Euro Disney’s rival the Parc Asterix has proved a popular destination for families wanting a day out. By the way, Parc Asterix is an easy drive from Paris too. Millions of dollars have been poured into Euro Disney to provide a top class attraction but the thing is, can visitors expect an authentic American welcome? The answer must surely be “no”! There again, Euro Disney is a cheaper option for most Europeans than going all the way to the States.
All in all I would rather create theme parks which celebrated my own heroes than accept those from elsewhere. In a word, this is because it is not always possible to transport culture—like some wines they do not travel well. In the future I will take my family to Florida to Disney World and the Magic Kingdom.
However, until that day arrives we won't be going to Euro Disney. There is a time and place for everything.
【1】As for Euro Disney, many French people________.
A.are unhappy with it
B.show no interest in it
C.treat it with extreme caution
D.think it a reward for the Statue of Liberty
【2】The underlined word “rival” in paragraph 3 means________.
A.partner
B.competitor
C.neighbor
D.customer
【3】Which of the following is the author’s opinion?
A.Euro Disney can’t provide real American service.
B.Parc Asterix is more expensive than Euro Disney.
C.Theme parks should accept popular heroes.
D.American culture isn’t popular around the world.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A.The Development of Euro Disney
B.French’s Argument against Euro Disney
C.The Popularity of Euro Disney
D.French’s Disagreement about American Culture
29、 How do you know if your mother likes you or not? That is a question I have been struggling with a lot lately. My mother and I used to talk on the phone a few times a day. I saw her at least twice a week. Now she doesn’t answer when I call, and never calls me back. She doesn’t see me and then complains that I don’t see her enough.
It all started a few months ago, I started having a date with a man, and we became serious quickly. This is not the first boyfriend I have had. I know she isn’t mad at me for my finding love. The turn-in events happened when I moved from about 15 minutes away from my mom to 1.5 hours away from her. She encouraged it, she seemed happy, and she helped me pack. Since then, everything has changed.
I can’t tell if she cares about me and I don’t know if she is bitter. When I call her, she says she is busy and will call me back. Then the problem is that she never calls me back, I make plans with her, but she cancels. Then when I do see her, she gives me comments like “It’s been a while since you came to see me”. It seems like I haven’t tried. It’s very frustrating.
I don’t know what is wrong, and she won’t talk to me, so I can’t find out. Does anyone have any advice for what to do in a situation like this? Part of me wants to cry and stop trying. But not talking to her tears me apart. Please give me some advice below.
