“Down the rabbit-hole”
Alice was beginning to get very bored. She and her sister
were sitting under the trees. Her sister was reading, but Alice
had nothing to do. Once or twice she looked into her sister'sbook, but it had no pictures or conversations in it.
'And what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without
pictures or conversations?'
She tried to think of something to do, but it was a hot
day and she felt very sleepy and stupid. She was still sitting
and thinking when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes
ran past her.
There was nothing really strange about seeing a rabbit.
And Alice was not very surprised when the Rabbit said, 'Oh
dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (Perhaps it was a little strange,
Alice thought later, but at the time she was not surprised.)
But then the Rabbit took a watch out of its pocket, looked
at it, and hurried on. At once Alice jumped to her feet.
'I've never before seen a rabbit with either a pocket, or awatch to take out of it,' she thought. And she ran quickly
across the field after the Rabbit. She did not stop to think,
and when the Rabbit ran down a large rabbit hole, Alicefollowed it immediately.
After a little way the rabbit-hole suddenly went down,
deep into the ground. Alice could not stop herself falling, anddown she went, too.
It was a very strange hole. Alice was falling very slowly,
and she had time to think and to look around her. She could
see nothing below her because it was so dark. But when she
looked at the sides of the hole, she could see cupboards andbooks and pictures on the walls. She had time to take thingsout of a cupboard, look at them, and then put them back in acupboard lower down.
'Well!' thought Alice. 'After a fall like this, I can fall
anywhere! I can fall downstairs at home, and I won't cry or
say a word about it!'1

Down, down, down. 'How far have I fallen now?' Alice said
aloud to herself. 'Perhaps I'm near the centre of the earth. Letme think ... That's four thousand miles down.' (Alice was very
good at her school lessons and could remember a lot of things
like this.)
Down, down, down. Would she ever stop falling? Alicewas very nearly asleep when, suddenly, she was sitting on
the ground. Quickly, she jumped to her feet and looked
around. She could see the White Rabbit, who was hurrying
away and still talking to himself. 'Oh my ears and whiskers!'
he was saying. 'How late it's getting!'
Alice ran after him like the wind. She was getting very
near him when he suddenly turned a corner. Alice ran roundthe corner too, and then stopped. She was now in a long, darkroom with doors all round the walls, and she could not see theWhite Rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked. 'How
will I ever get out again?' she thought sadly. Then she saw alittle glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was avery small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in
all the doors, but oh dear! Either the locks were too big, or
the key was too small, but she could not open any of the doors.
Then she saw another door, a door that was only forty
centimetres high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily,
but of course Alice could not get through it―she was muchtoo big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open
door, into a beautiful garden with green trees and brightflowers.
Poor Alice was very unhappy. 'What a wonderful garden!'she said to herself. 'I'd like to be out there―not in this darkroom. Why can't I get smaller?' It was already a very strange
day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything waspossible.
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 ('I'm sure it wasn't here before,'said Alice). Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paperwith the words DRINK ME in large letters. But Alice was acareful girl. 'It can be dangerous to drink out of strange
bottles,' she said. 'What will it do to me?' She drank a little2

bit very slowly. The taste was very nice, like chocolate andoranges and hot sweet coffee, and very soon Alice finished thebottle.

The rare earths elements
Rare earths, although they have the word “rare” in theirname, are actually common in the outer (1.
) of the Earth.
They are “rare” because they are not in concentrated
portions. Thus, a large amount of a base metal or a basematerial, such as clay has to be processed to yield the desired
metals. For example, indium often occurs with zinc. In orderto (2.

Our Column
This week’s column we will hear tips from a hiring
manager to get hired. We asked Mary Conrad of the Times
Advertiser what she looks for in a potential employee. "Whenwe advertise a job opening, we get more than one hundred
résumés. Out of those, we narrow it down to the ten best
candidates. Those are the ones to be interviewed.” How does
she decide among those ten? It's all about confidence, Ms.
Conrad explains. They often too much focus on things suchas being punctual or how they dress for an interview. "By thetime we've narrowed it down to the last ten candidates, we'reway past that," says Ms. Conrad. "I can trust the person who
shakes my hand, looks me in the eye, and answers questions
without hesitation. Ms. Conrad admits that she enjoys hiring
for new positions. "My job is never boring," she says.
