The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month (农历). So it is also called the Double Ninth Festival. To celebrate the festival, people usually climb mountains and enjoy chrysanthemums (菊花), so the festival is also known as the Height Ascending (登高) Festival or the Chrysanthemum Festival. Nine has the similar pronunciation with “forever”. 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. During the Jin Dynasty, there were customs of enjoying chrysanthemums and drinking wines on the day. It was not officially set as a festival until the Tang dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people in the imperial palace all ate flower cakes and climbed the mountain to celebrate. Climbing the mountain has been a kind of custom since the Western Han Dynasty.
Chrysanthemum means long life, so enjoying chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum tea are also popular. Inserting Zhuyu and sticking chrysanthemum are also traditions to avoid the bad as they have special smells which can repel (驱逐) insects and keep out the cold.
Eating Chongyang cakes is another tradition on the festival. There is no fixed way of the cake. But the one with nine layers (层) with two sheep on it is the best. Two sheep mean Chongyang, and Nine layers show people could do well in everything.

Do you like drinking coffee If you are polite when ordering in a cafe (咖啡馆) in America, you may pay less for your order.
The cafe in America has tried to encourage customers (顾客) to be more polite in a new way. The cafe offers rewards to those who are polite to others. There is a sign outside the cafe. It says different prices for a cup of coffee depending on how polite the customer is. The cafe owner writes down prices with the typical expressions that the customers might use when they are ordering. They include: “A small coffee” at 5 dollars, “A small coffee, please” at 3 dollars and “Hello, one small coffee, please” at 1.75 dollars.
This isn’t the first time that a coffee shop has tried to teach customers a lesson. A cafe called Petite Syrah in France also encourages customers to be more polite with different prices. Customers need to pay 5.96 pounds for “A coffee”, but 3.62 pounds for “A coffee, please”.
The manager of Petite Syrah talked about the reason, “At lunchtime, people would come under great stress and were sometimes impolite to us when they ordered a coffee.” And he added, “I know people may say that our service can be impolite, but it is also true that customers can be impolite when they are busy.”
The American cafe is copying the French cafe because it has got great success in changing customers’ behavior (行为). The manager of Petite Syrah says that he has seen great differences in his customers’ behavior since the sign was put up.

Why are dogs our best friends. Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought, according to a study in Hungary. It found that dogs understand not only what we say, but also how we say it.
“The results were very exciting and very surprising.” Said the researcher Attila Andies, from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.
For the study, the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months. The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine, so that the researchers could check their activity.
Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people’s voice to them. There were four different voice. Some were positive words,such as “well down”, or neutral（不带感彩的） words like “however”. The words were also in different tones（音调）. Some were positive and some were neutral.
Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize（辨认）words, as well as the tone of words, much like people do. The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain’s reward centers（反应中枢）.
“It shows that for dogs, a nice phrase can work very well as a prize, but it works best if both words and tones match.” Said Andies.
They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right. Human brains work in the same way.
It gave us a new understanding of language,said Andies. That is, not only do humans understand the meaning in words, other species（物种）do too.

Now, many young people enjoy traveling around the world On their own. It's not because they have no one to travel with, but because they think traveling alone is exciting and challenging. With no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if you lose your wallet, it is a big challenge. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character-building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own. It's exciting and special to travel alone. But it's also dangerous to travel alone sometimes. So here is some advice for traveling alone.
Don't choose a hotel if you're not sure whether it's safe. If you do, ask for a room near the elevator(电梯)，s0 you won't need to walk down long in the hallway(走廊).Besides, make sure the clerk writes down your room number.
Don't arrive at night. Sometimes, areas around bus or train stations can be scary(使人惊慌的)at night, and some small towns may shut down early.
Keep your documents safe. Put your passport, extra money and other important documents in safe places, and use a bag or wallet to carry daily spending money.
Know some common sense. It is very important to stay safe and have an enjoyable time while you are traveling alone. For example, don't walk around late at night, don't drink with strangers and don't take a free car for saving money.

One possible version:
An Ideal Holiday in My Mind
A holiday is something everyone expects. In my mind, a holiday without homework is an ideal holiday.
During such a holiday, I would be able to arrange my time more freely and do something I am interested in. I would participate in outdoor activities such as swimming and camping instead of having to dance my fingers around on my computer keyboard. What’s more, I would have more chances to get in touch with society. For example, I can take part in volunteering activities to enrich my experience and knowledge.
I am really looking forward to my ideal holiday.
