Dads have Father’s Day. Moms have Mother’s Day. Kids have Children’s Day. But, do our grandparents have a special holiday? Yes, they do! The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China. The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar (阴历) . As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people.
There are many traditions for this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure (治疗) diseases.
Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people.
In 2012, a new version(版本) of the 24 Filial Exemplars (《二十四孝》) was published. It is to show the new generation how to love and care for their parents in the modern age. Different from the old collection of stories in ancient China about obedient (顺从的) children, the new rules suggest that we should often visit parents and help them use the internet. Some ideas in the list, like telling our parents how much we love them and supporting single parents who want to remarry, are seen as completely new.
To respect elderly people is a traditional virtue(美德) in China. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. Besides, to respect the elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow.

A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day in a year. You may fail (不及格) in the exam if you are lazy for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam.

When you have finished it, read over your answers. Correct (改正) the mistakes if there are any, and be sure that you have not missed (漏掉) anything out.

New rules and behavior standards(行为规范) for middle school students came out in March, 2021. Middle School is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. They will also be kids who don’t dye(染) their hair. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.
Have you ever fought with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll discover Earth Ⅱ someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for run or homework. Can’t you find any good! Web sites for children? Here are some: http:// kids.eastday.com http ://www. China kids. net.com http:www.Cycnet.com

When you are learning English, reading can be important and helpful. When you read, you cannot only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When you read, the sentences in the reading materials (素材) can give you good examples of writing. Here are some good reading tips.
Try to read something at the right level. Read something that you can more or less understand. If you always have to stop and use a dictionary every time you read a few new words, the book may be too difficult for you.
Try to improve your vocabulary. When there are four or five new words in a passage, don’t look them up at once. You should try to guess their meanings as you read first. Then you should write them down in the notebook and try to memorise them.
Try to read regularly (有规律的). Read for a short time every day. Reading for fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday.
Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about the subject that you like because you are going to spend money and time buying and reading it.
1.What can we learn when we read?I’m very glad to share my ideas on how to learn English well with you.
That’s all. Thank you for listening.
