The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. So it is also called the Double Ninth Festival. To celebrate the day, people usually climb mountains and enjoy chrysanthemum (菊花), so the festival is also known as the Height Ascending (登高) Festival or the Chrysanthemum Festival. Nine has the similar pronunciation (jiu) with “forever” in Chinese. So the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day in 1989.
During the Warring States Period, there was the Chongyang Festival. But it was only celebrated in the imperial palace (皇宫). From the Han Dynasty, it began to be popular among the common people.

Letting kids learn more about science at an early age is easier than you think. It is happening all around us, and you can use daily things to arouse (激发) your children’s interest. Most parents believe it is difficult to help their children with science. But you don’t need a high scientific degree to teach your children science. All you need is that you’re willing to try, to see the world, and to take the time to encourage their natural curiosity. When they strongly want to know about something, they get the ticket to the unknown world.
You can help by having an active attitude (态度) towards science yourself. Then start simply by asking your children questions about the things you see every day. Next listen to their answers without judging (评判) them, which will improve their confidence (自信), and help you decide just what your children know or do not know.
Different kids have different interest, so they need different kinds of science projects. Collecting rocks may interest your young daughter, but your older son may need something more to deal with it. Knowing your children is the best way to find enjoyable learning activities. Here are some more pieces of advice: Choose activities that are the right level of difficulty. If you are not sure, pick something easier. Read the suggested ages on any projects, books, and then make sure that the activity is proper for your children. Let your children choose the project or activity themselves. It’s easy enough to ask rather than force them. Suggest choosing 2 or 3 things your children can do. When a child picks something he or she is interested in, he or she will enjoy it and learn more from it.

Before the tomato fight, there are parades (游行), musical bands, street parties and so on. On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time, thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks (卡车) full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks, a great town band starts to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back, throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.
Everyone is supposed to obey a small number of rules: You must squash (压烂) the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.
It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets off to the river to clear up. Sounds like fun!

四、阅读还原7选5
What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don’t know what it means 26．.
Say it
First, sound it out. Then say it to yourself. 27．. Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don’t know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you read, you have the word!
Use context（上下文）
If this doesn’t work, take the next step: look at the context—the other words and sentences around it. Read this sentence: When it rained, the dog looked for shelter in the doorway. 28．, “rain” and “in the doorway” might give you helpful information.
29．
If the context doesn’t help, look at the parts of the word. If you don’t know the meaning of “miner”, try looking at parts of the word. You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get valuable things like coal（煤）. Usually, “-er” at the end of a word means “a person who does something”. So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
Look it up
If the three steps above don’t work, you can look it up. 30．—either a book or online.
Nobody knows the meaning of every word, but good readers know how to understand words they don’t know.
A．Use word parts
B．Look at the words
C．It might sound like a word you know
D．You can find the word in a dictionary
E．Following some easy steps can help you
F．We can learn the word by speaking it out
G．If you don’t know what the word “shelter” means
