His app is very useful. It tells people when and how to do exercise every day.Zhang Jichen, a Grade Nine student from Beijing, was troubled by bad air, so he invented an app that can calculate PMa.5.“It is difficult to make an app. You have to be really careful and patient.

The Other Side of the WallC. What Beautiful FlowersD. An Unbelievable ExperienceCMany expressions that we use in American English come from movies and books. Today we will explore (探索) some expressions from Lewis Carroll's famous book Alice's Adventures(奇遇) in Wonderland. This book is better known as Alice in Wonderland.Alice's Adventures in Wonderland came out in 1865. The story is about a young girl falling for a long time down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world.In this strange world are some of the most popular characters in children's books. Many of them, and other expressions from the book, have found their way into American English.The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit. The White Rabbit is not a usual rabbit. Alice chases(追逐)after him, and that is where her adventures begin.In English, “chase a white rabbit” means to chase the impossible dream. “following the white rabbit” means following a quite unreal clue, and it leads you to find yourself in the middle of an unusual situation. This situation often challenges your thoughts and changes your life. And usually we use “fall down the rabbit hole” to mean we get interested in something to turn our attention away. We lose ideas about time. It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.Later in the story, Alice is the guest at a tea party—a crazy tea party! There she meets the March Hare (野兔). The Hare seems to be truly crazy. “To be mad as a March hare” means that someone is completely mad, or crazy.Using expressions from popular books can add a special flavor to your English. And when used properly, they also show that you have a deeper understanding of the culture of the English language. I'm Shirley Carter. Thanks for listening.()37.
