Passage 1 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

It is an interesting story about a girl named Alice, who follows the WhiteRabbit down a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland. She not only finds the White Rabbit, but also meets other animals such as the Dormouse and theCaterpillar. During her adventure, Alice eats and drinks things that make her changein size. At last, Alice enters a garden, where she happens tosee a trial (审判). The Knave of Hearts is accused of (被指控)stealing the Queen of Hearts’ tarts (甜馅饼), while the King of Hearts is the judge. As Alice argues with the Queen, the Queen becomes angry withAlice and orders her men to kill her. In the end, Alice grows into a huge size and knocks overthe playing cards. Suddenly, Alice wakes from her dream.

The classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, anEnglish author, was fantastic and entertaining. It took you to a worldof fantasy. The entire storyline is so imaginative. Alice, with her pleasant personalityis attractive. It is one of the classics needed to complete your bookshelf.

It is an interesting story about a girl named Dorothy, who is taken away fromher home in a storm and finds herself in the Land of Oz. Dorothy, together with hercompanionsthe Tin Woodman who wants a heart, the Scarecrow who wants a brain and the Cowardly Lion who wants courage, journeys in search of the wizard inorder to return home. After facing many difficulties, they successfully meet theGreat Oz, who in fact is not a wizard. However, the old man gives the Scarecrow a brain made of pins and needles, the Tin Woodman a heart made of silk and filled with sawdust and the Cowardly Lion a bottle of courage. In the end, Dorothy finallygets home to where her aunt and uncle live. They are very glad to find her safe and sound.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, is an enjoyableAmerican classic. What I loved most were Dorothy’s trustworthy friends, who werealways there when Dorothy needed help. Dorothy is also loved by everyone for her sweetness and honesty. If you have not read it, why don't you give yourself a treat?

The Blood Group Alphabet

Sometimes people lose too much blood from injuries or accidents. To save their lives, doctors must replace the lost blood. In an operation called a transfusion, doctors put blood given by healthy people into the veins(静脉)of the sick or injured person. But they must be careful. Although all blood looks the same, there are really different types of blood. Someone getting the wrong type of blood in a transfusion may become very sick or even die.

All blood is made up of red and white cells, and a liquid(液体)called plasma(血浆). It is the red cells that cause blood to be different types. On the outside of the red cells of some people's blood are proteins(蛋白质). Doctors group these proteins into two different classes, A and B. People with the A protein have Type A blood, while people with the B protein have B type blood. If someone happens to have both proteins, that person has Type AB blood. Some people don't have either protein, and their blood is called Type O.

If a person receives a transfusion of the wrong type of blood, the body senses the strange protein on the new blood cells. So the body destroys the new blood, and the patient goes into shock. For example, people with Type A blood will become very sick if they are given Type B protein because their bodies try to destroy the strange Type B protein. People with Type O blood have no proteins on their cells, so their bodies will destroy both Type A and Type B blood. They can only receive Type O blood. But people with Type AB blood have both proteins, so they can receive Type A, Type B and Type AB blood. These people are called Universal Receivers. People of any type can receive Type O blood because it has no protein for the body to fight against. So Type O people are called Universal Donors.

Doctors are always careful to test blood for its type before it is used in a transfusion. Although the wrong type of blood can be harmful, the right type can save a life.
