Why Alice is still wonderful

Have you ever read the novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? When British writer Lewis Carroll dropped Alice down the rabbit hole in 1865, he had no way of knowing what it would lead to (how popular it would be). The girl and her friends in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland have become well-known around the world. More than 100 versions of the book have been published. More than two dozen adaptations of the story have been made into movies. Millions of people are fascinated by the story and the characters in it.

Why have Alice and her friends kept us fascinated with them for so long? Why is the story so attractive?

One reason is that many people think the 7-year-old girl is our inner child. She is the child that we ever dreamed to be. Alice is the center of the book. She's brave, curious and always wants to move ahead to the next adventure. When she meets problems or even is attacked, she never once thinks of asking her parents for help. Instead, she tries to solve the problem in her own way. Maybe this can explain why the story is so welcomed by kids and teenagers. Because nowadays, they have been over protected by their parents and can't live in a world of their own. Alice is the child they really want to be.

Besides, the attractive setting in the book is another reason. The story is set in an imaginative world. Many things that don't exist in the real world can be found in the story. In the book, Alice can be 3 inches (7.6cm) tall and stand up on her tiptoes. She even finds a blue caterpillar smoking on a mushroom. Kids and teenagers are really attracted by the strange and imaginative world in the story.

The wonderland world makes us connect Alice's adventures with our own childhood. No matter how old you are, there is always a child living in your heart.

1.Who is the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by?

2.How many versions of the story have been published?

3.Why is the story so attractive?

4.Does the story make us think of our own childhood or adulthood?

5.What's the passage mainly about?

Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man eating out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that, and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very _______. She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could ________, but of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve the problem of homelessness.

Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman _______ an old shopping trolley (購物車) which was piled with bags. It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more ______ to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people since they first saw the homeless man.

Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces. She hoped to _______ her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foundation, an organization aiming at getting rid of homelessness.

She also organized a fund raising drive in "Ladybug Jars" to collect everyone's spare change during "Make Change" month. More recently, the foundation began another activity called National Red Scarf Day—a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada's hungry and homeless.

There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called "Hannah's Place", something that she is very ______ of. Hannah Places is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it's so cold that sleeping outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has received a lot of ________. For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the _______ of young people to change the world. But through all this, Hannah still has the life of a Winnipeg school girl, except that she pays regular visits to homeless people.
