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 chases(追赶) 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 confusing(令人困惑的) situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction(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 to be mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, to be mad as a Hatter is more common But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react!
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.
( )7. Which of the following situations best fits the expression to fall down a rabbit hole

On January 27, in order to win the fight against COVID-19, the Ministry of Education issued(公
布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring, 2020. It was said that school should not
start before February 17 at first. The exact start time of school depended on the situations and further
notices.
However, many parents were very worried that putting off the start time of school might affect
children's studies. If they had such a long winter vacation, children would not learn any knowledge,

mental health.

It should be said that such a method was very good. It could not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their Learning
ability and truly achieve "no suspension on of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson
resources were more useful, and were welcomed by parents and teachers.
Of course, except for learning at home, it was also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching viruses and other knowledge popularization(普
及), at the same time, it was also necessary for children to do some physical exercise or some games,
which was good for physical health at home.

People travelled to see the buildings, the food and the national dresses in foreign countries because
they thought they would not be the same as those of their own countries in the past. 1 They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald's, their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centres are full of office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars.

foreign country that they cannot experience at home The answer could be that people could be very
interested in the past. 2 Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries' history and culture used to be like, not what they are like today. Tourists visit different kinds of museums in foreign countries so that they can learn their history and culture.

The UK has many kilometres of rivers and canals, and around 30,000 people live on these waters in houseboats.
People started living in houseboats in the 1800s when the country's canals were built. People chose to live on the water in order to feel closer to nature and have a quieter way of life
Living on the water sounds romantic, but it is also hard work. There are many jobs to do every day, such as bringing in clean water and getting rid of dirty water from the toilet, sink and shower. During winter, living in houseboats can be very cold. So some people who like to live on the water avoid this season. Also, most boats are quite small inside People don't have much space, especially if there is a couple, family or a group of friends.
Although it is not easy, the number of people living in houseboats has been getting larger and larger over the past few years. More families and young people are choosing to live in houseboats because it is much cheaper than living in a flat or a house.
Another good thing is that people who live in houseboats always help each other and like to show
kindness to their neighbours. This is quite a different story from people who live in flats or houses and
may hardly know the people next door at all.
1. How many people live in houseboats in the UK
2. In which seasons are houseboats suitable for living
3. Do you want to live in houseboats Why or why not
