1、Alices Adventures in Wonderland 1 Down the rabbit-hole Alice was beginning to get very bored She and her sister were sitting under the trees Her sister was reading，but Alice had nothing to doOnce or twice she looked into her sisters book，but it had no pictures or conversations in it And what is the

2、use of a book，thought Alice，without pictures or conversations？She tried to think of something to do，but it was a hot day and she felt very sleepy and stupidShe was still sitting and thinking when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran past her There was nothing really strange about seeing a rabb

3、itAnd Alice was not very surprised when the Rabbit said，Oh dear！Oh dear！I shall be late！(Perhaps it was a little strange，Alice thought later，but at the time she was not surprised)But then the Rabbit took a watch out of its pocket，looked at it，and hurried onAt once Alice jumped to her feet Ive never

4、before seen a rabbit with either a pocket，or a watch to take out of it，she thoughtAnd she ran quickly across the field after the RabbitShe did not stop to think，and when the Rabbit ran down a large rabbit-hole，Alice followed it immediately After a little way the rabbit-hole suddenly went down，deep i

5、nto the groundAlice could not stop herself falling，and down she went，too It was a very strange hole Alice was falling very slowly，and she had time to think and to look around herShe could see nothing below her because it was so darkBut when she looked at the sides of the hole，she could see cupboards

6、 and books and pictures on the wallsShe had time to take things out of a cupboard，look at them，and then put them back in a cupboard lower down Well！thought Alice After a fall like this，I can fall anywhere！I can fall downstairs at home，and I wont cry or say a word about it！Down，down，down How far have

7、 I fallen now？Alice said aloud to herself Perhaps Im near the centre of the earthLet me thinkThats four thousand miles down(Alice was very good at her school lessons and could remember a lot of things like this)Down，down，downWould she ever stop falling？Alice was very nearly asleep when，suddenly，she

8、was sitting on the ground Quickly，she jumped to her feet and looked around She could see the White Rabbit，who was hurrying away and still talking to himselfOh my ears and whiskers！he was sayingHow late its getting！Alice ran after him like the windShe was getting very near him when he suddenly turned

9、 a corner Alice ran round the corner too，and then stopped She was now in a long，dark room with doors all round the walls，and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere She tried to open the doors，but they were all lockedHow will I ever get out again？she thought sadlyThen she saw a little glass tabl

10、e with three legs，and on the top of it was a very small gold keyAlice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors，but oh dear！Either the locks were too big，or the key was too small，but she could not open any of the doors Then she saw another door，a door that was only forty centimetres highThe

11、 little gold key unlocked this door easily，but of course Alice could not get through itshe was much too bigSo she lay on the floor and looked through the open door，into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers Poor Alice was very unhappy What a wonderful garden！she said to herself Id l

12、ike to be out therenot in this dark roomWhy cant I get smaller？It was already a very strange day，and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible After a while she locked the door again，got up and went back to the glass table She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the ta

13、ble（Im sure it wasnt here before，said Alice）Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters But Alice was a careful girl It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles，she said What will it do to me？She drank a little bit very slowlyThe taste was very

14、nice，like chocolate and oranges and hot sweet coffee，and very soon Alice finished the bottle *What a strange feeling！said AliceI think Im getting smaller and smaller every second And she wasA few minutes later she was only twenty-five centimetres highAnd now，she said happily，I can get through the li

15、ttle door into that beautiful garden She ran at once to the doorWhen she got there，she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass tableShe ran back to the table for it，but of course，she was now much too small！There was the key，high above her，on top of the table She tried very hard to

16、climb up the table leg，but she could not do it At last，tired and unhappy，Alice sat down on the floor and criedBut after a while she spoke to herself angrily Come now，she said Stop crying at once Whats the use of crying？She was a strange child，and often talked to herself like this Soon she saw a litt

17、le glass box near her on the floor She opened it，and found a very small cake with the words EAT ME on it Nothing could surprise Alice now Well，Ill eat it，she said If I get taller，I can take the key off the tableAnd if I get smaller，I can get under the doorOne way or another，Ill get into the gardenSo

18、 it doesnt matter what happens！She ate a bit of the cake，and then put her hand on top of her head Which way？Which way？she asked herself，a little afraidNothing happened This was not really surprisingPeople dont usually get taller or shorter when they eat cakeBut a lot of strange things were happening

19、 to Alice todayIt will be very boring，she said，if nothing happens So she went on eating，and very soon the cake was finished 2 The pool of tears Curiouser and curiouser！said Alice(She was very surprised，and for a minute she forgot how to speak good English)I shall be as tall as a house in a minute，sh

20、e said She tried to look down at her feet，and could only just see themGoodbye，feet！she calledWho will put on your shoes now？Oh dear！What nonsense Im talking！Just then her head hit the ceiling of the roomShe was now about three metres highQuickly，she took the little gold key from the table and hurrie

21、d to the garden door Poor Alice！She lay on the floor and looked into the garden with one eyeShe could not even put her head through the door She began to cry again，and went on crying and cryingThe tears ran down her face，and soon there was a large pool of water all around her on the floorSuddenly sh

22、e heard a voice，and she stopped crying to listen Oh，the Duchess，the Duchess！Shell be so angry！Im late，and shes waiting for me Oh dear，oh dear！It was the white Rabbit again He was hurrying down the long room，with some white gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other hand Alice was afraid，but she

23、 needed helpShe spoke in a quiet voiceOh，please，sir The Rabbit jumped wildly，dropped the gloves and the fan，and hurried away as fast as he could Alice picked up the fan and the glovesThe room was very hot，so she began to fan herself while she talkedOh dear！How strange everything is today！Did I chang

24、e in the night？Am I a different person today？But if Im a different person，then the next question iswho am I？Ah，thats the mystery She began to feel very unhappy again，but then she looked down at her handShe was wearing one of the Rabbits white glovesHow did I get it on my hand？she thoughtOh，Im gettin

25、g smaller again！She looked round the roomIm al-ready less than a metre highAnd getting smaller every second！How can I stop it？She saw the fan in her other hand，and quickly dropped it She was now very，very smalland the little garden door was locked again，and the little gold key was lying on the glass

26、 table Things are worse than ever，thought poor AliceShe turned away from the door，and fell into salt water，right up to her neck At first she thought it was the sea，but then she saw it was the pool of tearsHer tearsCrying makes a lot of tears when you are three metres tall Oh，why did I cry so much？sa

27、id AliceShe swam around and looked for a way out，but the pool was very big Just then she saw an animal in the water near her It looked like a large animal to Alice，but it was only a mouse Shall I speak to it？thought AliceEverythings very strange down here，so perhaps a mouse can talk So she began：Oh

28、Mouse，do you know the way out of this pool？I am very tired of swimming，oh Mouse！(Alice did not know if this was the right way to speak to a mouse But she wanted to be polite)The mouse looked at her with its little eyes，but it said nothing Perhaps it doesnt understand English，thought AlicePerhaps its

29、 a French mouseSo she began again，and said in French：Where is my cat？（This was the first sentence in her French lesson-book）The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily Oh，Im so sorry！cried Alice quicklyOf course，you dont like cats，do you？Like cats？cried the mouse in a high，angry

30、 voiceDoes any mouse like cats？Well，perhaps not，Alice began kindly But the mouse was now swimming quickly away，and soon Alice was alone againAt last she found her way out of the pool and sat down on the groundShe felt very lonely and unhappyBut after a while the White Rabbit came past again，looking

31、for his white gloves and his fan The Duchess！The Duchess！Oh my ears and whiskers！Shell cut my head off，I know she will！Oh，where did I drop my gloves？Then he saw AliceWhy，Mary Ann，what are you doing here？Run home at once，and bring me some gloves and a fanQuick，now！Alice hurried away But where is his

32、house？she thought while she ran Strangely，she was no longer in the long room with the little door，but outside in a woodShe ran and ran but could not see a house anywhere，so she sat down under a flower to rest 3 Conversation with a caterpillar Now，Alice said to herselfFirst，I must get a little bigger

33、，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？Perhaps 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 eatThen she saw a

34、large mush-room near herIt was as tall as she wasShe walked across to look at it，and there，on top of the mushroom，was a large caterpillar，smoking a pipeAfter a while，the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth and said to Alice in a slow，sleepy voice，Who are you？I dont really know，sir，said Alice

35、I know who I was when I got up this morning，but I have changed so often since thenI think I am a different person now What do you mean by that？said the CaterpillarExplain yourself！I cant explain myself，sir，said Alice，because Im not myself，you know I dont know，said the Caterpillar Its difficult to de

36、scribe，Alice replied politely One minute Im very small，the next minute Im as tall as a house，then Im small againUsually，I stay the same all day，and changing so often feels very strange to me You！said the Caterpillar，in a very unfriendly voiceWho are you？They were now back at the beginning of their c

37、onversation，which was not very helpful Alice felt a little cross and decided to walk away Come back！the Caterpillar called after herIve something important to say This sounded better，so Alice turned back Never get angry，said the Caterpillar Is that all？said Alice，trying not to be angry No，said the C

38、aterpillarFor some minutes it smoked its pipe and did not speak，but at last it took the pipe out of its mouth，and said，So youve changed，have you？How tall do you want to be？I would like to be a little larger，sir，please，said Alice Eight centimetres is really very small For a while the Caterpillar smok

39、ed its pipeThen it shook itself，got down off the mushroom，and moved slowly away into the grass It did not look back at Alice，but said，One side will make you taller，and the other side will make you shorter One side of what？thought Alice to herself She did not say this aloud，but the Caterpillar said，m

40、ushroomThen it moved away into the wood Alice looked at the mushroom carefully，but it was round，and did not have sidesAt last she broke off a piece in each hand from opposite sides of the mushroomShe ate some of the piece in her left hand，and waited to see what would happen A minute later her head w

41、as as high as the tallest tree in the wood，and she was looking at a sea of green leavesThen a bird appeared and began to fly around her head，screaming，Egg thief！Egg thief！Go away！Im not an egg thief，said Alice Oh no？said the bird angrilyBut you eat eggs，dont you？Well，yes，I do，but I dont steal them，e

42、xplained Alice quickly We have them for breakfast，you know Then how do you get them，if you dont steal them？screamed the bird This was a difficult question to answer，so Alice brought up her right hand through the leaves and ate a little from the other piece of mushroomShe began to get smaller at once

43、 and，very carefully，she ate first from one hand，then from the other，until she was about twenty-five centimetres high Thats better，she said to herself And now I must find that garden She began to walk through the wood，and after a while she came to a little house 4 The Cheshire Cat There was a boy out

44、side the door，with a large letter in his hand(He was dressed like a boy，but his face was very like a fish，Alice thought)The Fish-Boy knocked at the door，and a second later a large plate came flying out of an open window A letter for the Duchess，the Fish-Boy shoutedHe pushed the letter under the door

45、 and went away Alice went up to the door and knocked，but there was a lot of noise inside and nobody answeredSo she opened the door and walked in She found herself in a kitchen，which was full of smokeThere was a very angry cook by the fire，and in the middle of the room sat the Duchess，holding a screa

46、ming baby Every few minutes a plate crashed to the floorThere 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？Its a Cheshire Cat，said the DuchessThats why I didnt know that cats could grin，said

47、Alice Well，you dont know much，said the DuchessAnother plate crashed to the floor and Alice jumpedHere！the Duchess went onYou can hold the baby for a bit，if you likeThe Queen has invited me to play croquet，and I must go and get readyShe pushed the baby into Alices arms and hurried out of the room Oh，

48、the poor little thing！said Alice，looking at the baby，which had a very strange face She took it outside into the wood and walked around under the treesThen the baby began to make strange noises，and Alice looked into its face againIts eyes were really very small for a baby，and its nose now looked very

49、 like the nose of a pig Dont make noises like that，my dear，said Alice Its not polite Youre beginning to sound like a pig But a few minutes later，there was no mistake It was a pig Alice put it carefully on the ground，and it ran quietly away on its four legs into the wood Im pleased about that，Alice s

50、aid to herselfIt will be a good-looking pig，but it would be terrible to be a child with a face like that She was thinking about pigs and children when she suddenly saw the Cheshire Cat in a treeThe Cat grinned at her，and she went nearer to it Please，she said，can you tell me which way to go from here
