Lewis Carroll’s real name is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, the first of 11 children of a clergyman. Born on Jan. 27, 1832, he soon became the family entertainer, with magic tricks, puppet shows, parodies, poems, word play puzzles and a family newspaper. He went to Rugby school and studied mathematics at Christchurch College, Oxford. After graduating, he remained at Christchurch as a lecturer in mathematics; however he was not a good teacher- perhaps because of his stammer-and was better known as a writer on maths and logic, writing more than 30 papers. He also held various administrative posts at the university. He met the Liddell children (daughters of the Dean of Christchurch) in the late 1850s, and started by photographing them. Dodgson was something of a pioneer in the early days of photography. It was a trip up the river from Oxford to Godstow with Lorina and Edith (8) on 4th July 1862 which laid the foundations of the first Alice story, although many of the elements were things he had already invented. The book was finally published as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in 1868, with illustrations by John Tenniel, which have become as famous as the story itself. It was an instant success, and has remained a classic of children’s literature in English. His pen-name--Lewis Carroll--was a word-play from a Latinised inversion of his own first two names. Unlike many writers, Dodgson made the sequel Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There equally interesting and amusing. It was published in 1871. His long nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark was published in 1876, and towards the end of his life the two long Sylvie and Bruno novels, but were neither as good nor as successful as the Alice books. Dodgson died on 14th January 1898. 查看更多

阅读下列短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。(每空一词)

  When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don't agree.Teenagers always say they are growing up.They can have part-time jobs.They can drive cars.And they can even get married when they're a lillte bit older.

  Their parents say, “ Our children are very good.They like pop music,but they play it in their own rooms.They help in the house.You know they feel bored sometimes because there's nothing interesting in the neighborhood,no clubs,and no sports.They have nothing to do.

  A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind.He thinks that it's not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited.Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school,and they can get good jobs later.

  Lewis,a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations,but I can't get a part-time job because older people always think I'm lazy.”

  In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind.They belong to community work groups.They help old people,and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after the sick people and younger students.
