The test involved the Long March-10 rocket and the Mengzhou spacecraft for China's manned lunar mission. The rocket lifted off at 11:00 a. m. and reached about 11 km high. At that point, it reached Max-Q —— the moment when air pushes hardest against the spacecraft. This is a dangerous time during launch. The Mengzhou spacecraft received an escape command and successfully separated from the rocket. This“Max-Q abort test”checks if the spacecraft can escape quickly to keep astronauts safe in an emergency. After separation, the return capsule of Mengzhou opened its parachutes and splashed down into the South China Sea. It was China's first-ever sea recovery of a crewed spacecraft return capsule. The first stage of the rocket also returned and landed safely in the sea. The rocket is reusable ——it can be used more than 10 times. The Mengzhou spacecraft can carry three astronauts to the moon or seven to the space station. This test marked four historic firsts for China's space program and brings China one step closer to landing astronauts on the moon by 2030. 1. Where did the flight test take place? A. In Beijing. B.

Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, falls on April 4th or 5th each year. It is a time when people honor their ancestors (祖先) and celebrate the arrival of spring. In 2026, Qingming Festival will be observed on April 4th. The traditions of Qingming have a long history, dating back over 2,500 years. The most important custom is tomb sweeping. Families visit the graves(坟墓) of their ancestors, clean away weeds, add fresh soil, and offer food, flowers, or burn incense (香) as a sign of respect. Many people also make paper offerings, such as paper money and paper houses, believing these can bring comfort to their loved ones in the afterlife. However, in recent years, some traditional practices have been changing. To protect the environment,many cities now encourage" green tomb sweeping." Instead of burning paper offerings, people bring fresh flowers to graves. Some even choose online tomb sweeping, where they can honor their ancestors through websites or apps. These new ways are cleaner, safer, and more eco-friendly. Qingming is not only about remembering the past but also about enjoying the present. It comes at a time when nature begins to wake up. Trees turn green, flowers bloom, and the weather becomes pleasant. Many families combine tomb sweeping with a spring outing. They fly kites, take walks in the countryside, and enjoy traditional foods like qingtuan—a sweet green rice ball made from mugwort (艾草) and filled with red bean paste (红豆沙). Eating qingtuan has become a popular custom in many parts of China, especially in the south.
