Opened in September 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland is the second Disney Park in
Asia.It experienced a difficult time upon its opening.The Park, as well as two themed
hotels, was built on Lantau Island.
The Park opened to strong competition in the form of Ocean Park.Hong Kong
Disneyland is one of only two parks in Hong Kong, which has become one of the
world's leading cities in recent years.It kept Chinese cultural traditions in mind when
they built the Park to avoid a cultural backlash (抵制)．Designers added to the
custom of Feng Shui.
Disney and Hong Kong announced the Park in 1999, and construction (建设)
began in 2003.The Park had one of the shortest construction periods in Disney
history.Disney actually announced that the opening of the Park would be brought
forward, from 2006 to September 2005.
The Park attracted 5.2 million visitors in its first year, below the expected 5.6
million.There was a lack of attractions, with Fantasyland opening with just one dark
ride.Summer Passes were announced to increase the number of tourists.Autopia,
Stitch Encounter and it's a Small World opened between 2006 and 2008 to offer more
attractions at the Park.
The number of tourists dropped in 2007 to just over 4 million, so Disney planned
a big expansion (扩大) project to attract more tourists and bring the Park back to its
normal level.In July 2009, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong passed a threeland
expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland, and in 2010, Toy Story Land opened.
These new attractions have certainly paid off, with the Park earning record profit
(盈利) in 2013.In that year, over 7 million guests entered the Park.
With enough room for a second Park and the promise of more attractions to come,
it seems that there is indeed a great beautiful tomorrow for Hong Kong Disneyland.

的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When tragedy struck his little girl during the Depression (大萧条), this father did
the only thing he could.
The tragedy happened in the year 1933.I was only 6 years old when I was rushed
to the hospital with two crushed feet.My parents were told I might never walk again.
The accident happened when I was sitting in front of our house in Lowell,
Massachusetts.I was playing in a puddle(水坑) after a rainstorm and suddenly felt a
huge weight on my feet.When I looked up，there was a car tire on them.I cried out,
but the motor was running and no one could hear me over the engine.
The driver ran across the street for a newspaper.When he got back to his car, he
drove away—never knowing he had parked on my feet.
Just about then，our neighbor's son came home and saw me bending over my
feet in pain.He immediately carried me home, and I remember thinking how tall and
strong he was.
An ambulance came, and I remained in the hospital for 3 weeks while my feet
were “repaired”．When I returned home, I could hardly walk.
I sat in our bay window and watched the children play on the street and longed to
join them...but I couldn't.I felt so left out despite my parents' company.
My parents were told that if I was ever to walk again, I'd need treatment, which in
those days meant riding a tricycle(三轮车) to strengthen the muscle and eventually
get my feet back into condition for walking.
Our family couldn't afford such an extravagance(奢侈品)．Times were tough
during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and
wood for the stove.
Dad couldn't afford the bus fare and on cold winter days he walked 7 miles every
day in his only winter coat to get to work.No，there was no money for a tricycle.I

Paragraph 1：
Then one day, while sitting at my usual place in the window, I saw my father
walking up the street carrying a tricycle on his shoulder.
Paragraph 2：
It was many years later before I learned where and how Dad had got the tricycle.
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
Then one day, while sitting at my usual place in the window, I saw my father
walking up the street carrying a tricycle on his shoulder.Was that true? I couldn't
believe my eyes.I opened the window and cried out.“Is that tricycle for me？”
Having put down the tricycle，Dad told me that it belonged to me, “Ride the tricycle
every day, and then you will be all right, my girl！”From then on, with my father's
company, I rode it every day to strengthen my muscle.Regardless of pain, I kept on
practicing riding.Eventually I got my feet back into condition, and could walk
normally!
Paragraph 2：
It was many years later before I learned where and how Dad had got the tricycle.
My mother told me what happened on those cold winter days.In his only winter coat,
he was wandering around the hospital.He begged the doctor to save my feet.Moved by
my father, the doctor asked the hospital to give my father a parttime job to do.With the
doctor's help, my father got the job.Working day and night, eventually, he earned
enough money to buy the tricycle.
