The little girl Alice, with long hair of gold, is alive in peoples mind again after the film Alice in Wonderland was shown in 2 010. These two popular films was adapted from the novels Alices Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Both of them were written by Lewis Carroll，a famous English writer, who himself was as interesting as his books. Lewis Carroll was a math teacher and talented writer. In 1856，he met Henry Liddell and his three lovely daughters. His friendship with the family became an important part of his life over the following years. He liked the girls very much, especially the youngest one, Alice Liddell. He often told stories to make them happy. One day he took the girls to a boat trip. To make the time more enjoyable, he began a story about the adventure of a little girl named Alice in Wonderland. Many other strange characters such as the Mouse, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts were brought to this wonderful world，too. Alice Liddell loved the story and she begged Carroll to write it down for her. After Carroll finished the manuscript(原稿)of the story Alices Adventure in Wonderland , he gave it to the girl as a Christmas present. When the book was published in 1865，it was an immediate success, and soon was famous around the world.( )28. Lewis Carroll was the three lovely daughters .

The friendship between Carroll and the Liddells lasted until 1856.C Getting electricity(电)has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged(损坏)the only power cables(电缆)in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce. Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology(UT)in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution(解决方法).They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb. While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the suns energy, water and chemicals from the soil )，they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons一the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to get the energy and keep it in the lamps batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours 一enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done. The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp，believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities. 42% of whom have no electricity.( )31 .What is true about the Plant Lamp? A. It can be made by local people. B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps. C. It can produce all the electricity the villagers need. D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.( )32. The Plant Lamps inventor believes it could be most helpful for . A. rainforest communities B. cars C. poor people in cities D. farmers( )33. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To report on a new invention B. To explain a new scientific theory(理论) C. To describe how electricity is made D. To discuss the problems of poor villagesD Hi Sam! Sorry I havent emailed recentlyIve been revising for my exams. I have finished them now and I have got some time to relax and some money to spend on going out. Last weekend，I went to see a great film called Yes Man. If you havent seen it，you must go! Jim Carrey plays the main character and its very funny-and also quite encouraging. Its based on a book by Danny Wallace which is also called Yes Man. I read the book a few months ago and thats hilarious, tooI really laughed out loud! The book is a true story about what happens to the writer, Danny. Basically, he found that he was doing nothing all the time, just worrying about things and complaining about his life. He wasnt seeing his friends much, so he was lonely and bored. Then one day, he was on a bus in London when he sat down next to a man. The man was a stranger, but they started talking. Danny told him about his boring life and the man just gave him three words; Say yes more. And for Danny this was a turning point in his life. Those three words influenced everything he did. At that moment, he made a decision; I will say yes to everything! And he wrote a book about what happened to him in the next year or so. Three years later, the book was made into a hit film. The film is based on the book although there are some differences. First，its set in the US instead of England. Secondly, the main character is based on Danny, but he is called Carl in the film. And whats more. he doesnt meet a man on a bus. His turning point comes when he goes to a self-help class and they advise him to say yes more. In the film, Carl succeeds in changing his life and doing lots of crazy things; he has flying lessons, he learns to speak Korean and he rides a motorbike with no clothes on The storyline isnt very strong. Its quite weak, I suppose, but all Carls stories are very interestingmostly because Jim Carrey is a very funny actor. Im really interested in the film because theres a serious message, too. I believe in making the most of life and Ive decided Im going to be more positive. Ive decided Im not going to stay at home so much. Im going to do more things, see my friends more and everything. Actually, thats why Im emailing you! It would be great if we could meet up soon. Let me know when you are free. All the best，Adam( )34.

This happens a lot，especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes，instead of lifting our chopsticks，we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat，waiting to be liked. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal，to see whether we get liked or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal. Does that sound familiar to your Do you do that often? If not，how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you? A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this，some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result，it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet，one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. Does everyone like my photos It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all th
