8．Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most loved children's books of all time，and many adults enjoy it as well．It tells the story of a young girl named Alice，who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland．She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense．The popularity of the book comes from its imagination，interesting story，and art work．
The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll．In fact，Lewis Carroll was not the writer's real name．His real name was Charles Dodgson．One day，he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family．To keep them enter tained on the ride，he told them a story in which Alice，the middle child，was the main character．They enjoyed the story very much．
Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice's Adeventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present．Later，he gave a copy to his friend george MacDonald．George read it to his children and they loved it．George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story．Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35，000words．It was first printed in 1866，with art work by John tenniel，under the name Alice's Adventures in Wonderland．The book was animmediate Success．One of its first fans was Queen Victoria．She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carroll's works．She was surprised to find that they included many works on math．In fact，Charles Dogdgson was a highly respected mathematician．This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems．
Since the story was first printed，it has kept selling up to the present day．It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it．

1．Eight-year-old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001 when a 7-foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm．Jesse's uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to shore．The boy was not breathing．His aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation （人工呼吸） while his uncle rang the emergency services．Pretty soon，a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital．It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road．
Jesse's uncle，Vance Folsenzier，ran back into to the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew．He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach．A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this did not kill it，the shark's jaws relaxed so that they could open them，and reach down into its stomach，and pull out the boy's arm．
At the Baptist Hospital in Pensacola，Dr Ian Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse's arm．"It was a complicated operation，"he said，"but we were lucky．If the arm hadn't been recovered in time，we wouldn't have been able to do the operation at all．What I mean is that if they hadn't found the shark，well then we wouldn't have had a chance．'
According to local park ranger Jack Tomosvic，shark attacks are not that common．"Jesse was just unlucky，"he says，"evening is the shark's feeding time．And Jesse was in area without lifeguards．This would never have happened if he had been in area where swimming is allowed．'
When reporters asked Jesse's uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark，he replied，"I was mad and you do some strange things when you're mad．"
56．What was the boy doing when the accident happened？D
A．Feeding a hungry shark．
B．Jumping into the rough sea．
C．Dragging a boy to the shore．
D．Swimming in a dangerous area．
57．In which way did the boy's uncle help with the operation？A
A．By finding his lost arm．
B．By shooting the fish．
C．By flying him to hospital．
D．By blowing into his mouth．
58．How was his uncle in time of danger？B
A．Careful．B．Brave．C．Optimistic．D．Patient．
