William Shakespeare was born 400 years ago C Have you heard about the periodic table (元素周期表 ) lately? Well, there’ s some big news about this special table, but first, remember that the periodic table is used for all the elements（元素） , or things that make up our world. Elements are all around us. Iron is one of the most mon elements found on the earth. You probably know the element oxygen (氧 ), which is the element that we breathe in all the time. And elements can bine (結合 ) to make new things like H2O. This is hydrogen (氫 ) and oxygen put together, also known as water! Learning about these things helps us better understand the world we live in. But have you ever noticed something missing in the periodic table? There were already 114 elements. But the seventh row of the table was not finished, until now! In December, scientists from the IUPAC（國際純粹與應用化學聯(lián)合會 ) found the four elements that were missing. They are elements 113, 115, 117 and 118. “To scientists, this is of greater value than an Olympic gold medal,” Ryoji Noyori, a Nobel honored chemist said. The new elements are heavy metals and were made in lab. These kinds of elements can’ t be found in nature. Scientists are still looking for ways to use these elements, and other elements in the eighth row in our daily lives. Scientists have been working on this for 10 years, but the work is not done. Now they will prepare to look for “ element 119 and beyond” . But for now, be mindful (留心的 ) when you read your science books because the periodic table might be outdated (過時的 ). 58.

And this year it is celebrating its 150th birthday. In the story, the 7yearold Alice is running after a white rabbit, but she accidentally falls down a rabbit hole. She enters a world called Wonderland, and this is where the adventure (冒險 ) begins. In Wonderland, there seems to be no rules or logic (邏輯 ). Alice meets many strange and wonderful characters. A cruel queen says she is going to cut off someone’s head every two minutes. A cat smiles so big that its lips almost reach its ears. And strange things happen to Alice, too. Her body grows and shrinks (縮小 ) during her time in Wonderland. Alice is very annoyed because she doesn’t unders tand this strange place. But in fact, the story is about an innocent (天真的 ) children trying to make sense of the strange adult world, said Professor Will Brooker of Kingston University London. When British author Lewis Carroll wrote the story in 1865, its special style and humor made it a classic of its time. It even created some phrases we still use today. When people say “down the rabbit hole”, they mean to make a choice where the result is unknown. The story is also on show through different artworks all over the world. There are paintings and music videos based on the story. In summer 2021, the movie Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was put on in movie theatres. 62. In the world of Wonderland, ________. A.
