Families come together to admire the moon and eat sweet mooncakes. For a long time, these cakes had fillings like lotus seed paste (莲蓉) or nuts inside. They are very traditional. But this year, many young people are doing something different and very creative. They are making surprising new kinds of “mooncakes” that everyone is talking about. A new trend (趋势) is popular online. People are using special mooncake molds in a very funny way. A mold is a tool that gives food a special shape with nice patterns. They take a hot hamburger, some noodles, or even rice, then put it inside the mold and press it hard. In a second, the hamburger looks just like a traditional mooncake! Of course, a hamburger that is shaped like a mooncake does not taste sweet. It still tastes like a hamburger. So, why do people do it? For young people, it is all about having fun and sharing a cool idea with their friends online. The round shape is the most important part. It helps them feel the spirit of the festival, which is about family staying together and being happy. These new ideas are not just about the food inside. Many shops are now selling mooncakes in very clever boxes. After you finish eating the mooncakes, the box does not become rubbish. You can follow simple instructions to change it into something useful and new. For example, some boxes can become a beautiful picture for your wall or even a small fan (扇子) to use on a hot day. This fun activity shows how young people are celebrating old festivals in their own special ways. They are not forgetting the old customs. They are just adding more games and creativity. This makes the traditional festival even more exciting and interesting. 中秋节在中国是十分重要的日子。家人们团聚在一起赏月、品尝香甜的月饼。 长久以来，月饼内部多是莲蓉、坚果这类馅料，都是非常传统的款式。但今年，不少年轻人玩出新奇创意，制作出引发众人热议的新式“月饼”。网上兴起一股新潮流：人们用月饼模具玩出趣味花样。模具是一种工具，可以给食物压出带有精美花纹的特殊外形。人们拿来热汉堡、面条甚至米饭，把食材放进模具用力按压。一瞬间，汉堡就变得和传统月饼外形一模一样！ 当然，月饼造型的汉堡吃起来并不甜，依旧是汉堡本身的味道。那人们为什么要这么做？对年轻人而言，这只为玩乐，还能在网上和好友分享新奇点子。圆形才是关键，它让人们体会节日的内核——阖家团圆、欢乐美满。 创新不只体现在月饼馅料上。很多店铺售卖的月饼包装盒设计巧妙。吃完月饼后，盒子不会沦为垃圾。参照简单说明，就能把盒子改造成实用的新物件。比如部分礼盒可以变成墙上的装饰画，或是酷暑天能用的小扇子。 这项有趣的活动体现出年轻人用独有的方式欢度传统节日。他们没有遗忘旧习俗，只是增添趣味与创意，让传统节日变得更加精彩有趣。 【长难句分析】 1.But this year, many young people are doing something different and very creative.

This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it the Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Tang Dynasty. Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees, or along riverbanks on show. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes. Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character (汉字), a famous person’s name, or a place name. The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they’re named tangyuan. Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members. In old times, the Lantern Festival was also popular. Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd, Suddenly I turned, and there she stood, in the dim (昏暗的) light. 元宵节在农历正月十五。这一天总是新年的第一轮满月，古人也把它叫作上元节。这天的庆祝习俗始于汉朝，在唐朝盛行开来。 观赏红灯笼是主要传统之一。各式各样大小不一的灯笼常挂在树上，或是沿着河岸展出。据说孔明灯最初是诸葛孔明身陷困境时用来求救的。如今，灯笼缓缓升空，人们许下心愿。 另一项传统是猜灯谜。灯谜通常简短巧妙，有时还很风趣。谜底可以是一个汉字、名人姓名或是地名。 最重要的习俗是品尝口味各异的汤圆。在中国北方叫元宵，南方叫汤圆。包汤圆如同一场游戏活动，亲友们常常欢聚在一起动手制作。 古时候元宵节也十分热闹。观灯给年轻人提供相见的机会。宋代词人辛弃疾的词句就描绘了此情此景：众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在，灯火阑珊处。 【长难句分析】 1. The celebrations for this day date from the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Tang Dynasty. 这一天的庆祝习俗始于汉朝，并在唐朝盛行开来。 and连接并列谓语；date from表示“始于”，多用于描述历史渊源。 2. Lanterns of all sizes and shapes are often hung in trees or shown along river banks. 大小样式各不相同的灯笼常常挂在树上，或是沿着河岸展出。 本句为被动语态；of all sizes and shapes作后置定语修饰lanterns。 3. In ancient times, the Lantern Festival was also a lively occasion for young people to meet one another. 在古代，元宵节也是年轻人彼此相见的热闹时节。 不定式to meet one another作后置定语，修饰名词occasion。 【重难词汇梳理】 1. celebrate v. 庆祝 2. tradition n. 传统 3. custom n. 习俗 4. float v. 漂浮；升空 5. ancient adj. 古代的 6. date from 始于 7. all kinds of 各种各样 8. get‑together 欢聚，聚会 Passage1 “Chinese New Year is a seven-day celebration, and the beautiful thing I like is the way we put up fu outside. We change the direction, which means that fu has already come.” Rajni Aggarwal from India, running an Indian restaurant in Hangzhou, seems to know everything about it.

But do you know why we choose this date? Let’s find out. First, there is a long history of respecting teachers in China. Over 2,000 years ago, Confucius (孔子) said, “Education is for everyone.” In old times, students even kneeled (跪) to show respect when they met their teachers. Emperors also called their teachers “Tai Fu” with great respect. In 1931, educators set June 6th as the first Teachers’ Day. But at that time, teachers had a hard life and even couldn’t get their salaries (工资). In 1939, it was changed to August 27th (Confucius’s birthday), but stopped because of the war. In 1984, professors from Beijing Normal University spoke up for teachers. They said China had nearly ten million teachers, but many village teachers lived a hard life. This letter caught the government’s attention. So in 1985, September 10 th became the first Teachers’ Day of New China. We chose this date because it’s not the busiest time for schools, and autumn fruits can show teachers’ great work. Now, we say “Thank you, teacher!” or send e-cards to show our love. Let’s always respect our teachers! 1．Which is the right order of the history of Teachers’ Day? a. September 10 th became Teachers’ Day. b. June 6 th was the first Teachers’ Day. c.

C．Because it is not the busiest time for schools and autumn shows teachers’ work. D．Because students like this date. 4．What did professors from Beijing Normal University do for teachers? A．They gave money to village teachers. B．They taught village teachers for free. C．They asked students to go to a university. D．They spoke up for teachers. 5．What can we do to show love to teachers now? A．Kneel to teachers. B．Call teachers “Tai Fu”. C．Say “Thank you, teacher!”. D．Help parents do housework.

But do you know why we choose this date? Let’s find out. First, there is a long history of respecting teachers in China. Over 2,000 years ago, Confucius (孔子) said, “Education is for everyone.” In old times, students even kneeled (跪) to show respect when they met their teachers. Emperors also called their teachers “Tai Fu” with great respect. In 1931, educators set June 6th as the first Teachers’ Day. But at that time, teachers had a hard life and even couldn’t get their salaries (工资). In 1939, it was changed to August 27th (Confucius’s birthday), but stopped because of the war. In 1984, professors from Beijing Normal University spoke up for teachers. They said China had nearly ten million teachers, but many village teachers lived a hard life. This letter caught the government’s attention. So in 1985, September 10 th became the first Teachers’ Day of New China. We chose this date because it’s not the busiest time for schools, and autumn fruits can show teachers’ great work. Now, we say “Thank you, teacher!” or send e-cards to show our love.
