Then Alice saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.

\"Oh, how beautiful!\" she said. \"I'd love to go there but I'm too big to get through the door.\" She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now. \"I'm sure that bottle wasn't there before,\" she said, a little confused.

She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words \"DRINK ME\" on it. Alice wasn't a stupid girl. She didn't drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn't a label on it that said \"POISON\". So she put the bottle to her lips and drank.

\"Mmm, ifs nice,\" she said. It tasted like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast-all the things that she liked to eat-so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty. \"What a curious feeling,\" she said. \"I'm getting smaller and smaller.'\" It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah.

\"Good! I can go through the door into the garden,\" she said. But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn't have the key! It was on the table. She couldn't reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.

After a while she said, \"Alice! Stop crying! Crying doesn't help! Dry your tears immediately!\" When she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words \"EAT ME\" on it. She put a small piece of

it in her mouth.

The word, \"photography\write with light\". But photography could only give people static pictures. So scientists were trying hard to find ways to make pictures that can move. They made lots of experiments, but failed again and again. It was Eadweard Muybridge who finally succeeded. He was the first photographer to try this successfully. But how did he make it? It was an interesting story. Back in 1872, people didn't know exactly(确切地) whether all four of a horse's hooves(蹄) left the ground at the same time when it was running. A gentleman called Leland Stanford made a bet with his friend about it. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, or it would fall over. But Stanford didn't think so.

At that time, it was hard to know who could win the bet, because a horse's legs move so fast that it is impossible to tell just by looking. So they needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. Then Stanford offered $ 25,000 to the famous photographer, Muybridge, to help

find the answer. In the beginning, Muybridge failed to get clear images, but he didn't give up. He continued to improve his cameras. In 1878, after many experiments, he managed to get a sequence(连续) of 12 photos. One of them clearly showed that all four of the horse's hooves were off the ground at the same time. And when the photos moved fast, people could see a horse running.

Though Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first movie in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison's invention. （1）The underlined word \"static\" in Paragraph 1 most probably means . A. pretty B. dark C. moving D. still （2）What did Leland Stanford make a bet with his friend about? A. Whose horse ran faster.

B. Whether a horse would fall over while running.
