Passage 1 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland It is an interesting story about a girl named Alice, who follows the White Rabbit 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 the Caterpillar. During her adventure, Alice eats and drinks things that make her change in size. At last, Alice enters a garden, where she happens to see 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 with Alice and orders her men to kill Alice. In the end, Alice grows to a huge size and knocks over the playing cards. Suddenly, Alice wakes from her dream. The classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, an English author, was fantastic and entertaining. It took you to a world of fantasy. The entire storyline is so imaginative. Alice, with her pleasant personality is attractive. It is one of the classics needed to complete your bookshelf. Ada Lee, IA |
Passage 2 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz It is an interesting story about a girl named Dorothy, who is taken away from her home in a storm and finds herself in the Land of Oz. Dorothy, together with her companions the 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, in order to return home. After facing many difficulties they successfully meet the Great 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 finally gets home to where her aunt and uncle live. They are very glad to see her safe and sound. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, is an enjoyable American classic .What I loved most were Dorothy's trustworthy friends, who were always 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? Tony Wong, IB |

"Many young people in their 20s come to me for neck and back pains which are usually connected with the elderly,"said Ma Huifang,a professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,who is also a TCM doctor. "I have noticed such diseases becoming more common among a younger age group. "When faced with the choice between Western medicine and TCM,young people often prefer TCM because it does work for these diseases,according to Ma. "One of TCM's main advantages is that it can provide a more proper and personalized medical method for different patients,"Ma added.
TCM has a growing influence on young people's lives,too. Many of them not only add TCM practices into their daily lives,but also learn TCM skills to treat themselves and others.
