Dads have Father’s Day.Moms have Mother’s Day.Kids have Children’s Day.But,do our grandparents have a special holiday Yes,they do.
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China.This holiday is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar.On this holiday,younger people usually show love and respect to older people.
There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect.When an older person enters a room,everyone stands up.People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest.When we present a book to an older person,two hands are used.Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.
Respecting older people is a tradition in China.That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn.Chinese people are proud of being old.
In Western countries,however,older people seldom think they are old.They are called “senior” instead of “old people”.They’d rather do everything themselves.Even after retirement,they take on hobbies,part-time jobs and new activities to keep their body working well.
Westerners respect their older people,too.Usually,seniors take trains and buses for free.They are given discounts in stores and restaurants.
But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone.For holidays,the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home,and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.
(T)21.The Double Ninth Festival is a special festival for older people in China.
(F)22.In China,people should be introduced from the youngest to the oldest.
(F)23.Chinese people celebrate the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth month.
(T)24.Old Western people prefer they themselves are called “seniors”,because they would rather live an active life like young people.
(F)25.Old people live with their children both in China and Western countries.
