Alice In Wonderland is my favorite story.And acting is my number one passion.
At my old school,Poulsbo Elementary,I'd starred in every play from third grade on.Before that,gymnastics was my thing.But then I played my first role as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan.And after that,back flips just couldn't compare.
So when my sixth-grade teacher,Mrs Pearson announced during my first week at Newland Elementary that we'd be performing Alice in Wonderland for the school play,I practically screamed out loud with excitement.I'd always wanted to play the role of Alice!In the story,Alice went down a rabbit hole where weird（怪异的） things happened.Somehow I could relate to her more than ever now that I was going to a new school.
When Mrs Pearson announced that I would act as one of the hedgehogs（刺猬）in the play,my stomach started to ache!The hedgehogs had no lines but just got hit with mallets（木槌）and then disappeared!But I clapped along with everyone el and pasted a fake smile on my face.Maybe I should just go back to gymnastics and forget all about acting.

Tyler and Ella were the other two hedgehogs.When we were outside the classroom,Ella had one hand against the wall and appeared to be doing ballet warmups. "I really wanted to be the Queen of Hearts," said Ella.She raid her left leg so that it was almost parallel to her body.
volunteered"Yeah,I wanted to be the Cheshire Cat," said Tyler.He twirled（旋转）around with his hands clasped together above his head.Both of them emed like good dancers.

"wo...three," with the hedgehog costumes,we ran onstage in a line,steps synchronized （同步） and arms waving together.We stopped in front of the Queen of Hearts and curtsied （屈膝）.She was so surprid that she almost forgot her next line.
The Queen took her mallet and aimed at Hedgehog #1—Ella.When the mallet touched her,Ella spun and jumped across the stage using moves from Ballet. "Wow," said everyone.
The mallet came down on Hedgehog #2，Tyler.Tyler glided across the stage doing a Sideways Moonwalk. "Aah," said the cast,even louder than before.
The Queen looked excited as she prepared to hit Hedgehog #3—me.When the mallet tapped me,I did three back flips.Everyone erupted into applau.

Britain's meat industry on Friday warned that an upcoming shortage of carbon dioxide（CO2）could cau massive disruption（中断） to food supplies within two weeks.
The gas is ud to stun animals before slaughter托福学习技巧（屠宰），in the vacuum packing of food products to extend their shelf life,and to put the fizz into beer,cider and soft drinks.It is also required for some medical procedures and ud in the nuclear and mi-conductor industries.
Britain's food supply chain,already creaking from a vere shortage of heavy goods vehicles （HGV） drivers and the impact of Brexit（脱欧）and COVID-19，is heavily reliant on fertilir producers for CO2 which is a by-product of their production process.However,two of the largest fertilir producers,Norway's Yara YAR.OL and rival CF Industries Holdings CF.N，have restrained production due to a sudden increa in natural gas prices,which has in turn started to dry up CO2 supplies.
Nick Allen,chief executive of the British Meat Processors Association （BMPA），said that once current stocks of the gas run out,some meat companies will have to stop taking animals and clo production lines,leading to a logjam of animals back to the farms. "We
already have this situation in the pig industry which is now facing the disruption prospect of a humane killing on farms," he said.The BMPA is persuading Business Minister Kwasi Kwarteng to help support UK CO2 production in the short-term.
"We are monitoring this situation cloly and are in regular contact with the food and farming organizations and industry,to help them manage the current situation," said a UK government spokesperson. "The UK benefits from having access to highly diver sources of gas supply to ensure houholds,business and heavy industry get the energy they need at a fair price.Britain last suffered a major CO2 shortage in 2018，leading to some drinks wholesalers to ration （定量） sales."

D
The commonly held view is that people arrived in North America from Asia via a land bridge once connecting the two continents.But recent discoveries have suggested human
s might have been there earlier.Rearchers studying fossilized human footprints in New Mexico say that humans were there at least 23，000 years ago.
Matthew Bennett,a specialist in ancient footprints and author of a study on the new findings published in Science,and his colleagues studied 61 footprints by radiocarbon dating layers of aquatic（水生的）plant eds prerved above and below the footprints and accurately dated they were made 21，000 to 23，000 years ago.The people who made the footprints were living there in the last Ice Age when two massive ice sheets covering the continent and cold temperatures would have made a journey between Asia and Alaska impossible,indicating humans must have been there much earlier than previously thought.
According to their analysis of the footprints,they were likely made in soft ground at the edge of a wetland by children who were nt to do the work like fetching and catching by adults.Wind probably blew dust over the surface,accumulating in the prints,thus,leaving footprints that previously recorded.
Their finding also makes it possible to explore the older and more controversial sites with
a different light.One such site is Chiquihuite Cave in central Mexico,where stone tools dating back to 30，000 years ago have been found.
拂晓的意思David Rachal,an uninvolved but experienced geoarchaeologist（地质考古学家）thought the footprint dates provided by Bennett and his team looked "solid"，with eds providing very reliable and preci ages through radiocarbon dating. "You could not ask for a better tup," said Rachal.However,he was puzzled that no artifacts,such as stone tools,had been found in the area.He thought it was just a theme that was gaining some rious traction in the literature.
