The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest time.The bright clear sky and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere.The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities.Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood (茱萸) and drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine have become the traditional activities of the festival. The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance (香气), and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine.People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (着凉) in late autumn.So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries.But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like. Early in Han Dynasty, about 2,000 years ago，people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang'an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival.For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter.The custom evolved (逐步发展) into the present form，when people went climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery. But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain？ The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”， a homonym (同音异义字) of the Chinese word for “high”．Mountains are high，so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination，take the place of going for a climb. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的重阳节及其相关的习俗。 5．Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on the Chongyang Festival？ A．The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance.

The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974, established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972. Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others, followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness. Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment. The 2018 World Environment Day was hosted by India, and the theme is Beat Plastic Pollution. It urges people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic, which makes up 10% of all of the waste. Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year, people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades, concerts, cleaning-up and tree-planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution. World Environment Day is not a public holiday, so you won't be getting the day off work or school, but if you want to celebrate, why not bring it to the attention of your parents, friends, colleagues or classmates？ World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet, so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something. Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference. You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens, learn about green foods, raise money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界环境日的由来及其相关情况，并呼吁全员行动起来保护地球。 9．Why is World Environment Day set up？ A．To make people know more about nature.
