When you hear the word EPCOT, maybe you think of the building in the Disney park       1     (immediate)—even if you have never been there. But what does the word EPCOT actually mean?

Let’s study the history of the park     2     (see) how it got the name. It was Walt Disney himself that came up     3     EPCOT. So what does it stand for? Well, Walt thought it up in 1966, when his plans for a theme park in Florida were very     4     (difference) from what’s there today. Disneyland, in California, had been up and running for more than ten     5    (year). Walt’s idea was to build an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow(未来的实验原型社区). That’s what EPCOT really     6     (stand) for. And he originally(最初) planned for it to be, not a theme park, but     7     actual community.

After Walt Disney’s     8     (die) in 1966, other people of the Walt Disney Company     9     were not sure how to move forward with the city stuck to his ideas and themes for the park. They also built the park by     10     (take) his forward—thinking advice on creativity and technology. Of course, they kept its name!

Once upon a time, there was a man of the state of Zheng. He lived in a small town. One day he wanted to buy himself     1     new pair of shoes. He measured (测量) his     2     (foot) with a ruler and then     3     (write) down his size on a piece of paper. After that he went shoe shopping.

When he arrived     4     the shoe shop, he reached into his pocket(口袋),     5     he found the paper was not there. So he said to the shop     6     (keep), “I have left the paper at home and I don’t know the size. I’ll go back home to get it.” With these words, he ran out of the shop.

He ran back home, found the paper and then ran to the shop again. But it took him a few     7     (hour) and the shop was     8     (close). He spent the afternoon on the way and did not buy his shoes at last.

Someone asked him, “Did you want to buy the shoes for     9     (you)?” 

“Of course,” he answered.

“Then why don’t you try on the shoes by yourself?”

“I trust the ruler     10     (much) than my feet,” he answered.
