Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked (锁上的). “How will I ever get out again?” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.
Then she saw another door, a door that was only forty centimetres high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldn’t get through it—she was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door, into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.
“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller?” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.
After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters.
“It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles,” she said. “What will it do to me?”She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.
“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” And she was. “And now,” she said happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”
She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above her, on top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.
At last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it, and found a very small cake with the words EAT Me on it.

K.L. Rothey, 71, from the United States, a retired lawyer
Rothey has given himself the Chinese name of Luqi or “roadside beggar(乞丐)”. In his eyes, beggars are doing important work collecting rubbish. What they do is not dirty. Littering the street is, he adds.
Rothey first visited China in 1984 and soon he became interested in Chinese culture. Married to a Chinese calligrapher (书法家), he lived in Huangshi, Hubei Province.
Many people know him because he often shows up in the street collecting rubbish. “Huangshi is my home so I hope it becomes cleaner and more beautiful,” says Rothey. He has also organized volunteers to collect rubbish in other cities, including Wuhan.
Rothey says he’ll continue collecting rubbish, as long as he is able to.
Jill Robinson, 50, from Britain, founder(创立者)and CEO of Animals Asia Foundation.
She has been working for nearly 20 years to stop people from getting the bile（胆汁）from moon bears for use in traditional medicine.
She began working for the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s. A business trip to a bear farm in the mainland in 1993 changed her life. She saw so many moon bears killed by people. That made her cry. She said she would be back to set them free.
In 1998, she set up the Animal Foundation. In July 2000, the foundation agreed to free 500 farmed moon bears. In 2002, the Moon Bear Rescue（救援）Center was set up in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan.
Now, bear farms have been stopped in the area of two-thirds of China. “As much as we rescue them, they rescue us. These bears rescue us every single day and they teach us to be better people,” Robinson says.
