"Well， I'll eat the cake，" Alice said． "If I get taller， I can reach the key on the table． And if get Smaller， I can go under the door into the garden．"Then she fished the cake very soon．
"I shall be as tall as a house in a minute，" she said． She tried to look down at her feet， and could only just see them．
Just then her head hit the ceiling （天花板） of the room． She was now about three meters tall quickly， she took the key from the table and hurried to the garden door． But she was too tall to go through the door． She began to cry． The tears （泪水） ran down her face， and soon there was large pool of salt water all around her on the floor． Suddenly she heard a voice， and she stopped crying to listen．
"Oh， the Duchess （公爵夫人），the Duchess! She'll be very angry! I'm late， and she's waiting for me． Oh dear， oh dear!"
It was the White Rabbit again． He was hurrying down the long room， with a pair of white gloves in one hand and a fan in the other hand．
Alice was afraid， but she needed help． So she said in a low voice，"Oh， please， sir﹣"
Her voice frightened （ 使惊恐） the Rabbit． He dropped the gloves and the fan， and ran away quickly．
Alice picked up the gloves and the fan． The room was very hot， so she cooled down with the fan． She said， "Oh dear! How strange everything is today! Shall I get smaller during the night？"
She began to feel very unhappy again， but then she looked down at her hand． She was wearing one of the Rabbit's white gloves．"How did I get it on my hand？" she thought．"Oh， I'm getting smaller again! I'm already less than a meter tall and getting smaller every second! How can I stop it？" She saw the fan in her other hand． "It must be the fan!" she thought， and quickly she dropped it．
She was now very， very small， and the key was still lying on the table．
"Things are worse than ever，" thought poor Alice． She 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 her own tears．
"Oh， why did I cry so much？" said Alice． She 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 Alice． "Everything is very strange here， so perhaps a mouse can speak．
Then she began，"Oh， Mouse， do you know the way out of this pool？ I am very tired of swimming．
But the mouse looked at her with its little eyes and said nothing．
"Perhaps it doesn't understand English，"thought Alice． "Perhaps it's a French mouse． "So she began again， and said in French，"Where is my cat？" （This was first sentence in her French book． ）
The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily．
"Oh， I'm sorry!" cried Alice quickly．"Of course， you don't like cats， do you？"
"No． I don't like cats，" the mouse replied．

I’m 14, a year younger than most of my classmates.
A week ago one of my classmates, Nitin, asked me for help with math homework. We ended up talking about computers and file-sharing（共享文件）. As we talked I found that he was more experienced and could teach me about file-sharing and networking. We went to his room and watched a movie about robots that he’d downloaded. The math homework was forgotten.
The next day he came again for homework help “What do you do on weekends?” he asked. The truth is, when I have work to do, I do it. I have no special time to kill with friends. I was embarrassed about this. I expected him to think I was boring and said, “Get a life!” He said, “OK. You’re having trouble getting along with people I can show you. I’m old than you.”
Later, he checked my computer. He even connected me to an Internet chess server（服务器）.He was becoming like a big brother.
But when I thought about it, I didn’t really want Nitin’s help” His big-brother idea began to bore me.

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Products (产品) arc not produced in a "green" way and people haven’t realized the importance of buying and using environmentally-friendly products. These lead to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of waste like glass, paper and plastics is produced (生产). The waste problem is difficult to deal with.
However, today, more and more people are choosing “green” and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this soap be bad for the environment” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey (调查) on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that the products are “green”.
A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products their main selling point in advertisements.
The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. The public will no longer accept the old idea of “buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it”. As a result, the companies have to take action.Is it easy to deal with the waste problem?
What do more and more people consider before they buy products?
In the survey, how many people prefer green products in the supermarket now?
Is it possible or impossible to get green products in the supermarket now?
Why do the companies have to rethink how to do business and take action?
was born in Brussels, on June 25th, 1928. His real name was Pierre Culliford. At first, he almost became a dentist’s assistant. Luckily, he got a job in a cartoon studio. There he met and worked with some of Europe’s most famous comic book artists such as Franquin and Morris. Unfortunately the studio closed down and Peyo decided to become a full-time comic artist. He found himself a pen name from his childhood nickname ‘Pe- yot’.
Peyo became successful as a comic (连环画) artist. He decided to draw what he really loved,
stories based in the Middle Ages. He created the character Johan and drew some Johan strips (漫画) for the Belgian daily newspaper ‘Le Soir’ and then for ‘Spirou’ magazine. Johan soon became a huge success and one of the magazine’s main characters. 
For Johan’s ninth book of adventures, Peyo needed a group of imps (小精灵) to build a magic flute. At a meal with his friend Andre Franquin. he asked Franquin to pass him the salt. But he couldn’t remember the word so he said, “Pass me the … um… the smurf!”. Franquin handed it over and answered, “Here’s the smurf. Onee you’ve smurfed with it you can smurf it back to me!” And so the name and language of the little imps were invented. The readers soon fell in love with these little smurfs, who love having fun, live in mushroom-shaped houses and speak a strange and wonderful language.
The Smurfs films were first seen on Belgian television and then in France and the Netherlands. In 1981. The Smurfs was on the American NBC TV Channel for the first time, but the success didn’t stop there. The success of the Smurfs became planetary in the 80’s because of the cartoons. There are few regions left where people don’t know smurfs, but their name changes in every county; the Smurfs, die Schlümpfe, Los Pitufos, I Puffi. de Smurfen, les Schtroumpfs… and 蓝精灵 in Chinese.
In August 2011, the Smurfs make their return to the big screen again, this time in 3D! Peyo left us on December 24, 1992, but the Smurfs have continued their many adventures and are today looking forward to a bright and even more exciting future.Peyo’s real name was .
