主题语境 人与社会——体育运动——2022年北京冬奥会和冬残奥会吉祥物介绍
(2021·沈阳市高三质量监测) A cute panda “from the future” and a traditional red lantern signifying (表示) China's past were uncovered as the respective mascots (吉祥物) for the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics on Tuesday.
Just over a year since submissions of proposals were first invited for the project，panda Bing Dwen Dwen and red lantern Shuey Rhon Rhon were revealed as the winners at Beijing's Shougang Ice Hockey ArenA．
Bing Dwen Dwen is described as a panda wearing an icy shell that is stylized as a sports helmet.The outfit is similar to a spacesuit，so the panda can be imagined as a winter sports athlete from the future.Many details of the design refer to significant elements of Beijing 2022.A series of colored floating lines around its head resemble tracks on an ice rink，similar to one of the Games' venues—the National Speed Skating Oval，also known as the “Ice Ribbon”．
Bing means “ice”，which is a symbol of purity and toughness，in line with the spirit of the Olympics.Dwen suggests health and intelligence，with the repetition of the word giving it a more informal，friendly feel.Altogether，Bing Dwen Dwen is a representation of physical strength，mental toughness and the spirit of the Olympics.
Paralympic mascot Shuey Rhon Rhon is equally complex in its meaning.It resembles a Chinese red lantern，commonly seen on doors and streets during Chinese New Year，which in 2022 falls three days before the Olympic Winter Games opening ceremony.Red lanterns symbolize happiness，harvest and wealth，while the crown like “Ruyi” is a symbol of royal authority in Chinese culture.Shuey Rhon Rhon's head is adorned(装饰)with designs of pigeons by paper cutting.Their arrangement forms the shape of the Temple of Heaven，one of Beijing's most famous landmarks.The blush on the mascot's cheeks adds a festive feel，with the color red associated with good luck.
Shuey means “snow”，while Rhon Rhon are two different Chinese characters with the same pronunciation.The name symbolizes harmony and exchanges between different cultures，and building a community with a shared future.

The Coming of Age Ceremony
Last Monday witnessed an exciting Coming of Age ceremony.
All the senior three students gathered on the playground at 7：00 am sharp in the morning.There were various activities to celebrate the coming 18 year old birthday.One of them was walking across Longmen, which means a brilliant future waiting for us diligent students.What impressed me most was the moment when all of us made an oath about what should be done as civilized youths.
Thanks to the ceremony, I realize I have grown up and I should be self disciplined and responsible for my behavior.
