“Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast." Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.
Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.
Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.
The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.
Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places – including some museums and stadiums – worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.
Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”
Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans.
1.Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?
A. smart phones B. folding chairs
C. cameras D. containers
2.According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.
A. abandon them at the bag check
B. get fined and pick them up later
C. turn them in to the police
D. put them in the trunk of their cars
3.The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means__________.
A. changing B. broadening
C. blocking D. narrowing
4.According to the passage, it can be inferred that__________
A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security.
B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides.
C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally.
D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide.

Tricks to Learn from Super Sleepers
Do you want to sleep soundly each night and wake up energized the next day? Here’s a peek at some smart,surprising habits of great sleepers.
Exercise early.
Morning fitness class or gym time before work?Go ahead,give it a try.1.While experts aren’t exactly sure why,it could have something to do with morning exercise’s ability to help regulate the secretion(分泌物) of certain hormones involved in blood pressure management, which may lead to better sleep.
Eat light at night.
Desiring a midnight snack? If your stomach starts rumbling(发出咕噜声) before bed, try reaching for good-for-you foods that actually promote sleep, like walnuts, tart cherries, or Greek yogurt instead. 2.Eating too much of anything within a few hours of going to bed could suppress(抑制) your body’s ability to produce sleep-promoting melatonin.
Power down at night.
Smart phones, tablets, and laptops let you do everything from shopping to watching movies to working in bed.What they don’t let you do?Fall asleep. 3.In addition to reducing your blue light exposure,you’ll probably feel less stressed,which in itself can help you sleep better.
Keep their rooms chilly.
4.But being too warm can make it harder to have quality sleep, say experts at the National Sleep Foundation. Instead, they recommend keeping your bedroom at around 20℃,which research suggests is the most suitable temperature for great sleep.
5..
Consistency is key to healthy sleep.Though it’s tempting to stay up late,then get up early for work and sleep in on the weekend,doing so can cause damage to your body’s internal clock.Over time,that can make it harder to fall asleep,not to mention making it more unpleasant to wake up in the morning.
A.The idea of a comfortable bedroom and piles of soft, fuzzy blankets is very appealing.
B.Find ways to cope with stress.
C.Go to bed at the same time every night.
D.Still,try not to go overboard even with healthy stuff.
E.You don’t have to give up alcohol altogether in the name of better sleep.
F.Working out in the morning could lead to better sleep than afternoon or evening sweat sessions.
G.Put your devices away at night—ideally,two to three hours before you plan to go to sleep.

The world, in painter Chen Xiao’s eyes, is as colorful and sweet as ice cream.
At the opening of his latest exhibition, Colorful World in the Eyes of Sean Chen, at the National Museum of China recently, the artist told his story.
Chen left China for Australia in 1986 to seek artistic freedom, and like many new immigrants（移民）then, he had little money in his pocket. To make ends meet, he drew portraits of people in the street.
Every day, he saw people buy ice cream from a shop. Chen couldn’t help wondering: “It must taste great, that’s why so many people buy it.” But he didn’t buy one for himself because he had to save money to support his studies. After four months of painting there and watching people eat ice cream, Chen didn’t resist the temptation（诱惑）--- he bought an ice cream. “The first bite took me to heaven,” Chen recalls while laughing. “You know, as a poor young man in a new country, an ice cream was too expensive then.” Since then, he kept the taste of the ice cream in his heart and included the happy feelings in his paintings, which turn out to be colorful and sweet.
His current exhibition is part of his nationwide tour that began at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing in 2011. He plans to take his artworks to 24 cities around China by 2016. The exhibition at the National Art Museum of China will last until April 22. After the exhibition tour, he will sell his works through an auction（拍卖会）, and all the money will be donated to protection of the environment in China. “The natural environment of New Zealand has inspired my artwork and brought me enjoyment. I hope people in my home country can enjoy the same beautiful environment as I do,” says Chen, who has made New Zealand his home for the last 26 years.
