“Now,” Alice said to herself, “First, I must get a little bigger, and second, I must find my way into that beautiful garden. I think that will be the best plan. But oh dear! How shall I get bigger! Maybe I must eat or drink something, but the question is, what!”
Alice looked all around her at the flowers and the trees, but she could not see anything to eat. Then she saw a large mushroom (蘑菇) near her. It was as tall as she was. She walked across to look at it, and there, on top of the mushroom, was a large caterpillar (毛毛虫). Minutes later, the caterpillar said to Alice in a slow, sleepy voice, “Who are you!”
“I don’t really know, sir.” said Alice. “I know who I was when I got up this morning, but my body changed so often from then on. Now I don’t know who I am.”
“What do you mean by that!” said the caterpillar. “Explain (解释) yourself ”
“I can’t explain myself, sir,” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you know.”
“I don’t know,” said the caterpillar.
“It’s difficult to describe (描述),” Alice replied politely. “One minute I’m very small, the next minute I’m as tall as a house, then I’m small again. Usually, I stay the same all day, and changing so often feels very strange to me.”
“You!” said the caterpillar, in a very unfriendly voice. “Who are you!”
They were now back at the beginning of their conversation, which was not very helpful. Alice felt a little angry and decided to walk away.

She’s very sad and she often cries. At night she goes to see the Lion. The Witch (女巫) doesn’t give him anything to eat or drink, so Dorothy takes him food and water from the kitchen. Then she lies down next to him, puts her head on his warm body and sleeps until the morning.
The Witch watches Dorothy all the time. She’s waiting for the right moment to take the silver (银色的) shoes. Dorothy wears them all the time. She loves them. The only time she takes them off is when she has a bath. The witch doesn’t like water, so she’s afraid to go near the girl when she’s in the bath.
One day Dorothy is cleaning the kitchen and she slips on the wet floor. She falls over (摔倒) and one of the silver shoes comes off. The Witch is watching. She picks it up quickly and puts it on.
“Give me back my shoe!” Dorothy says.
“No! It’s my shoe now,” the Witch replies.
“You are a wicked woman!” Dorothy shouts. “I want my shoe!”
There’s a bucket (桶) of water near the door. The girl picks it up and throws the water over the Witch.
“Aargh!” The Witch cries.
“Water is the end of me!” And she starts to disappear (消失) in front of Dorothy’s eyes.
“I am going,” she says. “Going, going, going.”

“A letter for the Duchess,” the Fish-Boy shouted. He pushed the letter under the door and went away.
Alice went up to the door and knocked, but there was a lot of noise inside and nobody answered. So she opened the door and walked in.
She found herself in a kitchen, which was full of smoke. There was a very angry cook by the fire, and in the middle of the room sat the Duchess, holding a screaming baby. Every few minutes a plate crashed to the floor. There was also a large cat, which was sitting on a chair and grinning from ear to ear.
“Please,” Alice said politely to the Duchess, “Why does your cat grin like that ”
“It’s a Cheshire Cat,” said the Duchess. “That’s why.”
“I didn’t know that cats could grin,” said Alice.
“Well, you don’t know much,” said the Duchess. Another plate crashed to the floor and Alice jumped. “Here!” the Duchess went on. “You can hold the baby for a bit if you like. The Queen has invited me to play croquet, and I must go and get ready.” She pushed the baby into Alice’s arms and hurried out of the room.
“Oh, the poor little thing!” said Alice, looking at the baby, which bad a very strange face. She took it outside into the wood and walked around under the trees. Then the baby began to make strange noises, and Alice looked into its face again. Its eyes were really very small for a baby, and its nose now looked very like the nose of a pig.

As the house shook from the falling asteroids (小行星), Arthur’s heart beat very fast. The asteroids weren’t just rocks; they seemed to move around in space like they had a plan, like they were looking for something. The strange light from the asteroids made the house seem even more scary.
Suddenly, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy said in a calm voice, “Trust the house, Arthur. It can handle this.” Those words made Arthur feel a little better. He closed his eyes and listened to the voice, which helped calm him down.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the house move very skillfully between the asteroids. It almost seemed like it was dancing between them. The outside of the house changed shape, like it could see where the asteroids were going and move to avoid them.
At one point, an asteroid came so close that Arthur could feel its heat. But just before it hit, the house moved quickly and missed it by just a little bit. Arthur held his breath, afraid to move, as the asteroid flew away into space.
When the asteroids finally stopped coming, Arthur felt relieved (宽慰). He let out a big breath and leaned back against the wall. He was amazed by how the house had saved him and felt lucky to have had such an exciting experience.
From then on, Arthur was more curious and braver about exploring space. He knew there were many amazing things out there, but also some dangers. But he was ready to face them, knowing that he had the tools and courage to do so. He looked forward to more exciting adventures in the vast universe.

It was a sunny sky after the typhoon (台风) passed and some people found a very large hole next to their village.
All of the villagers came out to see the hole. They looked inside, but it was dark and nobody could see anything. What happened Was it a fox hole
A young man was so surprised that he shouted at the hole, “Hey, come out!” However, only his voice came back from the hole. Then, he picked up a small rock (岩石) and threw it down the hole. But, still, nothing came out.
To find out the fact of the hole, the villagers asked a scholar (学者) for help. After looking over the hole, he found nothing, but he tried to look confident, and said for sure, “It’s no problem to fill(填充) it up!”
Seeing this, a businessman came up and offered to buy the hole with lots of money. Later, he built up a company called “Hole-Filling Company”. He told everyone the company could hold any litter but they had to pay for it.
From then on, more and more people came here to put their litter into the hole:
Hospitals got here to throw the dead people.
The government put all the dirty water into the hole.
….
Slowly, the sea and sky became beautifully blue. Under this clear sky, more and more buildings were built up.
One day, a worker was working on the top of a tall building. Looking at the blue sky, clear water and green plants, he was happy that the city was getting more and more beautiful.
Suddenly, he heard a strange shout above his head, “Hey, come out!”
However, when he looked up, he found nothing. When he sat down for a rest, a rock flew down in front of him from the direction (方向) of the strange shout. He picked it up and wanted to know why it came from the sky.
Of course, he didn’t know anything about the rock. Only the young man in the village could know that: it was the same rock that he threw into the hole.
Several days later, the sky was not as beautifully blue as before. More and more litter fell down from the sky — dead people, dirty water….

“Now,” Alice said to herself, “First, I must get a little bigger, and second, I must find my way into that beautiful garden. I think that will be the best plan. But oh dear! How shall I get bigger! Maybe I must eat or drink something, but the question is, what!”
Alice looked all around her at the flowers and the trees, but she could not see anything to eat. Then she saw a large mushroom (蘑菇) near her. It was as tall as she was.

As the house shook from the falling asteroids (小行星), Arthur’s heart beat very fast. The asteroids weren’t just rocks; they seemed to move around in space like they had a plan, like they were looking for something. The strange light from the asteroids made the house seem even more scary.
Suddenly, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy said in a calm voice, “Trust the house, Arthur. It can handle this.” Those words made Arthur feel a little better. He closed his eyes and listened to the voice, which helped calm him down.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the house move very skillfully between the asteroids. It almost seemed like it was dancing between them. The outside of the house changed shape, like it could see where the asteroids were going and move to avoid them.
At one point, an asteroid came so close that Arthur could feel its heat. But just before it hit, the house moved quickly and missed it by just a little bit. Arthur held his breath, afraid to move, as the asteroid flew away into space.
When the asteroids finally stopped coming, Arthur felt relieved (宽慰). He let out a big breath and leaned back against the wall. He was amazed by how the house had saved him and felt lucky to have had such an exciting experience.
From then on, Arthur was more curious and braver about exploring space. He knew there were many amazing things out there, but also some dangers. But he was ready to face them, knowing that he had the tools and courage to do so. He looked forward to more exciting adventures in the vast universe.

It was a sunny sky after the typhoon (台风) passed and some people found a very large hole next to their village.
All of the villagers came out to see the hole. They looked inside, but it was dark and nobody could see anything. What happened Was it a fox hole
A young man was so surprised that he shouted at the hole, “Hey, come out!” However, only his voice came back from the hole. Then, he picked up a small rock (岩石) and threw it down the hole. But, still, nothing came out.
To find out the fact of the hole, the villagers asked a scholar (学者) for help. After looking over the hole, he found nothing, but he tried to look confident, and said for sure, “It’s no problem to fill(填充) it up!”
Seeing this, a businessman came up and offered to buy the hole with lots of money. Later, he built up a company called “Hole-Filling Company”. He told everyone the company could hold any litter but they had to pay for it.
From then on, more and more people came here to put their litter into the hole:
Hospitals got here to throw the dead people.
The government put all the dirty water into the hole.
….
Slowly, the sea and sky became beautifully blue. Under this clear sky, more and more buildings were built up.
One day, a worker was working on the top of a tall building. Looking at the blue sky, clear water and green plants, he was happy that the city was getting more and more beautiful.
Suddenly, he heard a strange shout above his head, “Hey, come out!”
However, when he looked up, he found nothing. When he sat down for a rest, a rock flew down in front of him from the direction (方向) of the strange shout. He picked it up and wanted to know why it came from the sky.
Of course, he didn’t know anything about the rock. Only the young man in the village could know that: it was the same rock that he threw into the hole.
Several days later, the sky was not as beautifully blue as before. More and more litter fell down from the sky — dead people, dirty water….
