“May we all be blessed with longevity. Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together（但愿人长久，千里共婵娟）.” wrote Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his well-known poem to his younger brother Su Zhe.
The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar（阴历）. On this day, people celebrate Mid— Autumn Festival. It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country.
In ancient China, that day was a harvest（收获）festival because crops（庄稼）were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration.
Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid—Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration.
The Mid— Autumn has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs. The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and moon cakes stand for family reunion（团聚）.
With the beautiful moon up in the sky, people sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat moon cakes and fruit, share the stories, and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live far.

If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It’s a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the bestselling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects（方言）. Now, around eighty years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film.
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes（击） into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly, The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions-in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl’s life and tells The Little Prince’s story at the same time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei, who dubs（配音） the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.
“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it’s a pity that this good characteristic（品质） goes away as time flies,” he says.

Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning 88 medals in total. But do you know that there are many cool technologies behind their success
Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter, reached an Olympic 100mfinal. With the help of scientific training, he made his breakthrough. “It takes Su 47 steps to run 100 metres. Each step counts,” Liang Dong, a member of Su’s training team, told Shenzhen Evening News. “Randy Huntington, Su’s American coach and a biomechanics（生物力学） expert in track and field, has collected a lot of data（数据） on outstanding sprinters and built a database. He put in all of Su’s data and got a near—optimal（接近最优的） model. When Su is training, the team uses high-speed cameras to record his training and compares it with the model to find out his weaknesses.”
Technology has also brought a new improvement to table tennis. On July 27, the semifinal match between China’s Sun Yingsha and Japan’s Mima ITO was in full swing（正在全力进行）at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. You wouldn’t have guessed that besides players, judges and audiences, a powerful AI platform was watching the match.
Every serve, swing and movement of Mima ITO was caught by this AI cloud platform set in Tokyo. At an average speed of 100 Mbps, the data was sent to the technical team of the Zhejiang University Table Tennis Intelligent Big Data Analysis Platform,2, 442 kilometres away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, according to The Paper.
The platform has stored the data of more than 8,000 matches so far. The research team has been working on match simulation（模拟） since 2018. “Using big data and AI, we can correctly simulate and predict how the winning rate will change when players change certain tactics（策略）.”Professor Wu Yingcai, the main developer of the platform, told CCTV-2.
The Tokyo Olympic Games have seen not only scientific support in training, but many cutting- edge technologies in athletes’ devices（设备）. For example, the Kenya women’s volleyball team’s GPS devices fed data on each player’s strength, heart rate and so on to coaches, who used the information to prevent injury（受伤）and personalize training plans for each individual, South China Morning Post reported.
56. Who helped Su Bingtian a lot to make his breakthrough
A. His scientific training. B. Support from his family.
C. His coach’s encouragement. D. Support from other sprinters.
57. What’s the advantage of match simulation according to Professor Wu Yingcai
