The classic tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a book many children have grown up with. And this year it is celebrating its 150th birthday.

In the story, the 7-year-old Alice is running after a white rabbit, but she accidentally falls down a rabbit hole and enters a world called Wonderland. 86

In Wonderland, there seems to be no logic (逻辑)or rules. 87 A cruel queen says she is going to cut off someone’s head every two minutes. A cat smiles so big that its lips (嘴唇) almost reach its ears. 88 Her body grows and shrinks (缩小) during her time in Wonder land.

Alice is very annoyed because she doesn’t understand this strange place. But in fact, the story is about an innocent (天真的) youngster trying to make sense of the stra nge adult world, said Professor Will Brooker of Kingston University London.

When British author Lewis Carroll wrote the story in 1865, its special style and humor made it a classic of its time. 89 When people say, “go down the rabbit hole”, they mean, “make a choice where the result is unknown”.

90 There are many paintings and music videos based on the story. In summer 2016, the latest movie, Alice Through the Looking Glass, will be released in cinemas.

A. This is where the adventure begins.

B. And strange things happen to Alice, too.

C. Alice’s story is a fantasy but it is a useful one.

D. It even created some expressions we still use today.

E. The story also lives on through different works of art.

F. It’s surprising that the tale has so many adult fans.

G. Alice meets many strange and wonderful characters.
