Today I will introduce the Double Ninth Festival (重阳节), which is also called Chongyang Festival. It is on the 9th day of the 9th lunar month. Chongyang Festival will fall on October 7th this year. It is celebrated for over 2,000 years but was regarded as a festival during the Tang Dynasty (618—907).
The festival came from an old story. Long ago, a monster in the river made villagers ill. So Huan Jing, a brave boy, went to visit a master. The master said, “Tomorrow is the ninth day of September and the monster will come out of the river. You should stop it.” Huan Jing went home and told the villagers to climb up a mountain with a special plant on their clothes. The monster came out of the water the next day. When it climbed the mountain, the monster smelt the special plant and became dizzy (眩晕的). Then, Huan Jing killed it. Since then, climbing mountains on the day of Chongyang Festival has become popular.
Chongyang Festival is a very good time to climb the mountains. Families and relatives usually get together by climbing the mountains in this season. Also, it is good for health. People often climb the mountains and enjoy the beautiful scenery. People also eat Chongyang cake on that day.
In China, nine has the similar pronunciation with the word meaning “forever”, symbolizing (象征) longevity. Therefore, the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day. As the development in modern times, the Double Ninth Festival is gradually to be celebrated also as an Elder Day for young people to show their respects to the elderly. Today, on this day, why not spend a day with your parents or grandparents

As the saying goes, “The first impression (印象) is the best impression.” When we meet a person for the first time, it’s that person’s manners that will impress us. The manners we learn as children stay with us throughout our lives. Good manners are the ones our parents and teachers teach us, and we can make them part of our personality. It’s very important to teach good manners to children when they are young so that they grow up to become polite and pleasant. Childhood is the best time to learn good manners.
Good manners cost us nothing but can help us get many things. They help us win friends and conquer our enemies. They can help make the world a happier place by reducing (减少) arguments and helping people avoid fights. Whether you’re in business, service or education and whatever kind of life you lead, good manners are helpful.

Read more▼ Visiting Thailand on Songkran Festival ●●●●● SO MUCH FUN! I’m from India and Holi is a similar festival in my country, but I never imagined that a whole country can break into a crazy water fight with such great excitement!

Dorothy Hoffner was a 104-year-old Chicago woman. On 1 October, 2023, she jumped out of a plane from13,500ft (4,100 metres) at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa. It was not her first time to jump from a plane. Four years ago, she tried it for the first time.
“Age is just a number,” Hoffner said proudly after landing. “The whole thing was delightful. It couldn’t be better.”
Hoffner’s close friend Joe Conant said sadly Hoffner was found dead on Monday morning by people who work at the Brookdale Lake View senior living community. She died in her sleep peacefully on the night of 8 October, Sunday.
Conant said Hoffiner had amazing energy. “She never seemed to be tired. She just kept going,” he said on Tuesday. “She was not someone who would have a little sleep in the afternoon. She always showed up in all situations. She was always devoting herself into them. She always kept going, and never gave up.”
Conant is working through paperwork to make sure that Hoffner is the oldest skydiver in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records (吉尼斯世界记录大全), but he thinks it will take some time. The present record was set in May 2022 by 103-year-old Linnéa Ingeg rd Larsson of Sweden. Conant said Hoffiner’s purpose wasn’t to break a record, and she had no interest in any publicity (宣传) or anything. She skydived for no other reason, just because she wanted to go skydiving.
“She was a dear friend who encouraged me,” Conant said.

A．better early than late B．doing is better than saying

Gestures are used to replace words in many countries. They usually have different meanings in different cultures. Let’s look at the three gestures.
What does the “O” gesture mean
If you are an English speaker or diving (潜水) under the sea, it means “OK” or “good”. In fact, it’s believed that this gesture is popularized (普及) by divers. The Japanese read it as “money”. The French read it as “zero” or “no value”.
What does the “thumb-up” gesture mean
This gesture also means differently in different countries. English speakers use it to stand for “OK”, which is the same meaning as the “O” gesture. The two can be used almost interchangeably.
To most people, it stands for the number “1”, since they count from 1 to 5, beginning with the thumb for 1 and ending with the little finger for the number 5.
Although Americans and British people usually ask for a ride with their thumbs raised, the gesture will not make a Greek driver stop to give them a ride.
What does it mean to extend (伸出) your index finger (食指)
Extending the index finger means different things in different countries. The Chinese extend their index finger upward to indicate (表明) the number. They can refer to integers (整数) such as “one”, “one hundred”, “one thousand”, etc. In Japan, the index finger up means only one or once. This gesture means the first in order. In the United States of America, use this gesture when asking the other person to wait. In Australia, in bars and restaurants, the index finger is extended upward, saying, “A glass of beer, please.”
In the Middle East, it is impolite to point at something with your index finger.

Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure (探险) in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.
Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains Can I do anything helpful How can I turn my adventures into the things that can help the world ”
Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from the places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach—only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought he could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventures to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it.

Dad recently read me a speech, hoping to satisfy my endless search for answers—answers to everything. Ever since I was very young, I’ve asked countless times “What should I do ”, trying to avoid making mistakes. Maybe I feared to take my first baby step on my own I think.
During my middle school years, I changed. It was when I decided to try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast without asking Dad for advice. Never mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements, and I would take the chance that I might fail.
On the day of audition(试镜), I kept telling myself, “If you don’t think you can do it the right way, just don’t go.” My heart was pounding; my hands were shaking so badly that I wasn’t certain whether people would hear me.
But something happened. When I opened my mouth, I found the sound was loud, powerful and sweet! And I even reached the high notes that I’d never reached! It was fantastic! I was trying bravely even though I might fail. But I didn’t. That audition wasn’t the end of the trap that kept me from trying, but it was definitely an important part of the process of growing.
That day, I realized that if I want to live my life to the fullest, I have to push myself. Because my parents, friends and teachers don’t always have the answer to “What should I do ”.
Now, I do take these chances, with baby steps, every day, like voicing my opinions in class discussions, riding my horse over a three-foot jump...

TinaHey Sarah. What were you doing just now I was talking with my father about my future dream job. What’s that I want to become a doctor. My dad has inspired me a lot today. That’s great.

I like writing. I like meeting people. I couldn’t keep a secret if you told me and I like discovering new things and telling everyone about them. So I became a journalist（记者）.
Sounds simple and easy, right But the life of a journalist is more exciting and much harder than that. It can come with pain and frustration（挫折）.
Once I ran around in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow. I was trying to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the firemen. I wrote the story... Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, however, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.
I once wrote about an old people’s home. People there, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas（跳蚤）. They were told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, people there phoned me, full of joy. The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways.
Journalism can be dangerous and boring, with long and changing work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is terrible. But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it.
63．According to the writer, what can’t she do being a journalist
A．Writing different kinds of stories. B．Meeting different people.

We spoke to three students from around the world about different national holidays. There are different customs for each festival.
Xiaodong, 15, Hong Kong “It’ll soon be the Chinese New Year. Before it, we’ll clean the house and decorate it for good luck. Every shop is going to close for a few days and we’ll go out a lot to celebrate on the streets. We might go and see the lion and dragon dances in the city center. I love this festival.”
Wendy, 16, Sydney “Australia Day is on 26th January and it’s an important holiday here. We always have a Monday off, so we celebrate for three days. My parents and I go to the countryside for a picnic and friends always come over. Many people go to beach parties or street parties and there is quite a lot of music and dancing. What fun!”
Amy, 14, New York “The first Thanksgiving was celebrated hundreds of years ago when Europeans who came to America thanked God for his help. It’s still a very important day for families to be together. This year we’re going to visit my grandparents and we’ll eat a delicious meal of turkey. Thanksgiving Day is on the 4th Thursday in November every year.”
