a That is why Letter from Father Christmas could be the perfect book…
b The children must have been very excited as they opened it.

1. What do the words in blue indicate: an order, a request, ability or possibility
2 Will the meaning of sentence (a) change if we replace "could" with "must" or "might"
The words in bold indicate possibility.
If we replace "could" with "must", the meaning of sentence (a) will change. It means the speaker is quite sure about the statement. if we replace "could" with "might", the meaning of sentence (a) will remain more or less the same. "Could" and "might" in affirmative sentences have a similar meaning when indicating possibility.
3 What happens if we change "must" and "might" in sentences (b )and (c) into"could" Now look for more sentences with modals in the reading passage.
If we change must" in sentence (b) into "could", it means the speaker is not sure about the statement, and it's only a possibility. If we change "might" in sentence (c) into "could", it means it's impossible for the children to receive their presents.

The Double Ninth Festival 重阳节

More about the Double Ninth Festival
In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing (The Book of Changes), number "6" was thought to be of Yin character, meaning feminine or negative, while number "9" was thought to be Yang, meaning masculine or positive. So the number nine in both month and day creates "the Double Ninth Festival", or "Chongyang Festival".
因为古老的《易经》中把“六”定为阴数，把 “九”定为阳数，在农历的九月初九那天，日月并阳，两九相重，故而叫“重阳”，也叫“重九”。
Apart from expelling bad luck and disasters, climbing mountains also indicates “climbing to a higher position”, and it is also an important reason why ancient people pay much attention to this custom.
Another reason that climbing mountains are valued by people, especially by the elderly is that it has a meaning of “climb to a longevous life“. Also, for this reason, people believe that climbing mountains can make people live a more longevous life.

Double Ninth, Missing My Shandong Brother

As a lonely stranger in the strange land,
Every holiday the homesickness amplifies.
Knowing that my brothers have reached the peak,
All but one is present at the planting of flowers.

独在异乡为异客，
每逢佳节倍思亲。
遥知兄弟登高处，

More about the Double Ninth Festival
In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing (The Book of Changes), number "6" was thought to be of Yin character, meaning feminine or negative, while number "9" was thought to be Yang, meaning masculine or positive. So the number nine in both month and day creates "the Double Ninth Festival", or "Chongyang Festival".
因为古老的《易经》中把“六”定为阴数，把 “九”定为阳数，在农历的九月初九那天，日月并阳，两九相重，故而叫“重阳”，也叫“重九”。
Apart from expelling bad luck and disasters, climbing mountains also indicates “climbing to a higher position”, and it is also an important reason why ancient people pay much attention to this custom.
Another reason that climbing mountains are valued by people, especially by the elderly is that it has a meaning of “climb to a longevous life“. Also, for this reason, people believe that climbing mountains can make people live a more longevous life.

Double Ninth, Missing My Shandong Brother
Wang Wei
As a lonely stranger in the strange land,
Every holiday the homesickness amplifies.
Knowing that my brothers have reached the peak,
All but one is present at the planting of flowers.
九月九日忆山东兄弟
王维
独在异乡为异客，
每逢佳节倍思亲。
遥知兄弟登高处，
遍插茱萸少一人。
