26、   Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll’s famous novel “Alice in Wonderland” in detail.

The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.

The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice runs after him, and that is where her adventures begin.

In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.

Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a situation which makes people feel puzzled. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distractions(分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.

Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common.

Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.

【1】Which of the following situations best fits the expression “to fall down a rabbit hole”?

A.When Jack was sitting in the study, he got bored with the homework and felt sleepy.

B.When Sue turned On the TV, she chose to watch her favourite programme as usual.

C.When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in reports on superstars.

D.When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.

【2】According to the passage, the expression “to be mad as a March Hare” .

A.describes how hares behave in March

B.shows hares’ characteristics in a funny way

C.is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter

D.has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter

【3】Which of the following characters wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?

A.Alice. B.The March Hare. C.The Hatter. D.The Queen of  Hearts.

【4】The writer mainly wants to ________in this passage.

A.introduce a famous novel and its language style

B.introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels

C.explain some English expressions from a famous novel

D.explain why many expressions in English come from novels

27、   China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable (好客的) people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.

When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.

At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. At table, guests are supposed to start eating first. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick up food for visitors, which won’t happen at Western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you are done eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.”

Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago: To meet friends from afar. How happy we are!

A．get in their way

28、   Everyone changes in his or her life. Mostly these changes take place because of an experience. For me, high school was such an experience. High school has taught me about myself, and that is the most important lesson I 【1】 (learn) so far. It has taken me from what I used to be to what I am now.

I 【2】 (be) quiet and shy, not wanting to show my inner self (内在自我). I would never talk about what was on my mind. I was afraid that someone would tell me I was wrong or criticized (批评) me. I 【3】 (care) too much about what others thought of me.

Now I am no longer afraid 【4】 (tell) others my worries and let them know how I feel. I have changed a lot with the help of my teachers and friends. They put their confidence in me. They taught me that it is not a big deal to fail in something as long as I have learned from my mistakes. By 【5】 (find) the courage to believe in myself, I have become much stronger in mind. The thought of a challenge used to make me feel afraid, but now I want to work even harder 【6】 (deal) with the difficulties. I have realized that the ideas I 【7】 (hide) in the past can now be contributed (贡献) to the world.
