Passage1
V-J Day Military Parade Scene: Families of Martyrs Attend with Portraits
九三阅兵现场:英烈家属举照片观礼
A V-Day military parade was held on September 3, 2025. When the aerial formation flew over Tian’anmen Square, a woman named Ruan Guoqin lifted a photo of her husband, Wang Wei, toward the sky.
Wang Wei was a PLA Navy pilot. In 2001, he died while protecting China’s airspace. His greatest wish was to take off from an aircraft carrier in a fighter jet. Now his comrades-in-arms have made his dream come true. Ruan said to the photo, “Wang Wei, today I bring you to the China’s V-Day military parade. Do you see it? You are with your comrades again!”
Yao Jiusui was also at the parade. She is the mother of Chen Xiangrong, another hero. Chen was born in 2001. He joined the army in 2019. In 2020, he died during a border clash. Yao said, “I’m proud to be here watching the parade for you, my boy.”
Heroes never go away. Their love for our country and the people will always guide us forward.
2025年9月3日,抗战胜利日阅兵式隆重举行。当空中梯队飞过天安门广场时,一位名叫阮国琴的女士将丈夫王伟的照片高高举向天空。
王伟生前是中国人民解放军海军航空兵飞行员。2001年,他在保卫祖国领空的任务中壮烈牺牲。他生前最大的愿望,是能够驾驶战机从航空母舰上起飞。如今,他的战友们替他实现了这个梦想。阮国琴对着照片轻声说道:“王伟,今天我把你带到阅兵式现场了,你看到了吗?你和战友们又在一起了!”
姚久穗也来到了阅兵现场。她是另一位英雄陈祥榕的母亲。陈祥榕生于2001年,2019年入伍,2020年在边境冲突中英勇牺牲。姚久穗说:“儿子,能替你来到这里看阅兵,妈妈为你骄傲。”
英雄从未远去。他们对祖国和人民深沉的爱,将永远指引我们前行。
【长难句分析】
1. 原句:When the aerial formation flew over Tian'anmen Square, a woman named Ruan Guoqin lifted a photo of her husband, Wang Wei, toward the sky.
句意:当空中梯队飞过天安门广场时,一位名叫阮国琴的女士将丈夫王伟的照片高高举向天空。
分析:本句是主从复合句。连词“When”引导时间状语从句“the aerial formation flew over Tian'anmen Square”。主句是“a woman...toward the sky”,其中“named Ruan Guoqin”是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰“a woman”;“of her husband, Wang Wei”是介词短语作后置定语,修饰“a photo”;“Wang Wei”是“her husband”的同位语;“toward the sky”是介词短语作状语,修饰谓语“lifted”。
2. 原句:She is the mother of Chen Xiangrong, another hero, who was born in 2001, joined the army in 2019, and died during a border clash in 2020.
句意:她是另一位英雄陈祥榕的母亲。陈祥榕生于2001年,2019年入伍,2020年在边境冲突中英勇牺牲。
分析:本句是主从复合句。主句是“She is the mother of Chen Xiangrong”。“another hero”是“Chen Xiangrong”的同位语。关系代词“who”引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“Chen Xiangrong”。定语从句中包含三个并列的谓语动词:“was born”、“joined”和“died”,描述了陈祥榕的生平事迹。

Langlangshan Little Monsters
浪浪山小妖怪
The Chinese animated film Nobody was very popular in summer, 2025. It's adapted from the Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. But it doesn't tell about the main character—Sun Wukong. It tells about four low-level yaoguais: a boar, a toad, an ape and a weasel. They start their journey to the west by dressing up as the team of Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong. During their journey, they save villagers from bad yaoguais. Finally, people remember them as great heroes.
Many people loved this film. And they shared their feelings about it online. One comment on Douban read, "The cinema is full of the sound of kids' laughing and adults' crying. As kids, we dreamed of becoming Sun Wukong. But after growing up, we understand we are just the ordinary yaoguais, the minor characters."
国产动画电影《小妖怪的夏天》在2025年暑期档大受欢迎。影片改编自中国古典名著《西游记》,但主角并非孙悟空,而是四个底层小妖怪——一只野猪、一只蟾蜍、一只猿猴和一只黄鼬。它们假扮成唐僧和孙悟空师徒四人,踏上了西行之旅。途中,它们从恶妖手中救下了村民。最终,人们将它们铭记为伟大的英雄。
许多观众都喜爱这部电影,并在网上分享了他们的观影感受。豆瓣上一条评论写道:“电影院里充满了孩子们的笑声和大人们的哭声。小时候,我们都梦想成为孙悟空;长大后,才明白我们不过是那些平凡的小妖怪,那些不起眼的小角色。”
【长难句分析】
1. 原句:They start their journey to the west by dressing up as the team of Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong.
句意:它们假扮成唐僧和孙悟空师徒四人,踏上了西行之旅。
分析:本句是主谓宾结构。主语是“They”,谓语是“start”,宾语是“their journey”。介词短语“to the west”作后置定语修饰“journey”。介词短语“by dressing up as the team of Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong”作方式状语,修饰谓语“start”,说明它们是如何开始旅程的。其中“dressing up as”是动名词短语,意为“假扮成……”。
2. 原句:As kids, we dreamed of becoming Sun Wukong.
句意:小时候,我们都梦想成为孙悟空。
分析:本句是主谓宾结构。介词短语“As kids”作状语,表示时间或身份。主语是“we”,谓语是动词短语“dreamed of”,宾语是动名词短语“becoming Sun Wukong”。其中“dreamed of”是固定短语,意为“梦想……”。

What an Interesting Meal!

Passage1
V-J Day Military Parade Scene: Families of Martyrs Attend with Portraits
九三阅兵现场:英烈家属举照片观礼
A V-Day military parade was held on September 3, 2025. When the aerial formation flew over Tian’anmen Square, a woman named Ruan Guoqin lifted a photo of her husband, Wang Wei, toward the sky.
Wang Wei was a PLA Navy pilot. In 2001, he died while protecting China’s airspace. His greatest wish was to take off from an aircraft carrier in a fighter jet. Now his comrades-in-arms have made his dream come true. Ruan said to the photo, “Wang Wei, today I bring you to the China’s V-Day military parade. Do you see it? You are with your comrades again!”
Yao Jiusui was also at the parade. She is the mother of Chen Xiangrong, another hero. Chen was born in 2001. He joined the army in 2019. In 2020, he died during a border clash. Yao said, “I’m proud to be here watching the parade for you, my boy.”
Heroes never go away. Their love for our country and the people will always guide us forward.
2025年9月3日,抗战胜利日阅兵式隆重举行。当空中梯队飞过天安门广场时,一位名叫阮国琴的女士将丈夫王伟的照片高高举向天空。
王伟生前是中国人民解放军海军航空兵飞行员。2001年,他在保卫祖国领空的任务中壮烈牺牲。他生前最大的愿望,是能够驾驶战机从航空母舰上起飞。如今,他的战友们替他实现了这个梦想。阮国琴对着照片轻声说道:“王伟,今天我把你带到阅兵式现场了,你看到了吗?你和战友们又在一起了!”
姚久穗也来到了阅兵现场。她是另一位英雄陈祥榕的母亲。陈祥榕生于2001年,2019年入伍,2020年在边境冲突中英勇牺牲。姚久穗说:“儿子,能替你来到这里看阅兵,妈妈为你骄傲。”
英雄从未远去。他们对祖国和人民深沉的爱,将永远指引我们前行。
【长难句分析】
1. 原句:When the aerial formation flew over Tian'anmen Square, a woman named Ruan Guoqin lifted a photo of her husband, Wang Wei, toward the sky.
句意:当空中梯队飞过天安门广场时,一位名叫阮国琴的女士将丈夫王伟的照片高高举向天空。
分析:本句是主从复合句。连词“When”引导时间状语从句“the aerial formation flew over Tian'anmen Square”。主句是“a woman...toward the sky”,其中“named Ruan Guoqin”是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰“a woman”;“of her husband, Wang Wei”是介词短语作后置定语,修饰“a photo”;“Wang Wei”是“her husband”的同位语;“toward the sky”是介词短语作状语,修饰谓语“lifted”。
2. 原句:She is the mother of Chen Xiangrong, another hero, who was born in 2001, joined the army in 2019, and died during a border clash in 2020.
句意:她是另一位英雄陈祥榕的母亲。陈祥榕生于2001年,2019年入伍,2020年在边境冲突中英勇牺牲。
分析:本句是主从复合句。主句是“She is the mother of Chen Xiangrong”。“another hero”是“Chen Xiangrong”的同位语。关系代词“who”引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“Chen Xiangrong”。定语从句中包含三个并列的谓语动词:“was born”、“joined”和“died”,描述了陈祥榕的生平事迹。

1. 原句:They start their journey to the west by dressing up as the team of Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong.
句意:它们假扮成唐僧和孙悟空师徒四人,踏上了西行之旅。
分析:本句是主谓宾结构。主语是“They”,谓语是“start”,宾语是“their journey”。介词短语“to the west”作后置定语修饰“journey”。介词短语“by dressing up as the team of Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong”作方式状语,修饰谓语“start”,说明它们是如何开始旅程的。其中“dressing up as”是动名词短语,意为“假扮成……”。
2. 原句:As kids, we dreamed of becoming Sun Wukong.
句意:小时候,我们都梦想成为孙悟空。
分析:本句是主谓宾结构。介词短语“As kids”作状语,表示时间或身份。主语是“we”,谓语是动词短语“dreamed of”,宾语是动名词短语“becoming Sun Wukong”。其中“dreamed of”是固定短语,意为“梦想……”。

Passage1
What an Interesting Meal!
My name is Laleh. I have a daughter named Charlie and a son named Jacob. One day in 2015, I turned my son’s pancake (煎饼) into a “lion” for a bit of fun. He loved it and asked if I could make him a character from a movie, book or toy.

After watching the movie Turning Red (《青春变形记》), I fell in love with the main character, Meilin. I decided to make her the star of one of my meals. Firstly, I made her face out of mashed potatoes (土豆泥). Then, I colored her mouth with some watermelon juice. After that, I made her teeth from a boiled egg. Her hair was made out of eggplant (茄子). And I turned half an apple and some flatbread (扁面包) into her shirt. Lastly, I cut out her hairpin (发夹) from a piece of cucumber and added other decorations.

Passage 2
One of the most important traditional festivals in China is the Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year.

These red envelopes, called “hongbao”, are given to wish the children good luck and good health in the coming year. Fireworks and firecrackers are also a big part of the celebration, as they are believed to scare away evil spirits.
