【推荐2】Our class had a talk last month, the topic is what is food part of the holidays? Let’s see what my classmates said.

Wang: I think there is a really close connection (联系) between festivals and food. My dad is a businessman. He travels on business a lot. He even has to travel during holidays, like Mid-Autumn Festival. But he once told me that as long as he can eat my mom’s homemade mooncakes, he can feel like he’s at home with us.

Liu: In my opinion, eating traditional food during holidays is part of our culture. I remember one time during Lantern (灯笼) Festival, my parents were too busy to bring any sweet dumplings home. Although we still lit up our rabbit lantern that night, I still felt like the festival was not complete, since we didn’t have any sweet dumplings.

Yuan: In the past, people would usually save precious (珍贵的) food for special days. But now, we can eat it whenever we want. I don’t think it is important to eat traditional food during holidays anymore. We can still do some other things to celebrate, like watching the moon during Mid-Autumn Festival or remembering Qu Yuan during Boat Festival.

【推荐1】Wukong, Tiangong, Tianwen... Do you know where the name s of Chinese space programs come from?

Wukong, the Dark Matter Particle Explorer satellite (暗物质粒子探测卫星), is named after a Chinese superhero the Monkey King. According to Journey to the West, the Monkey King has a pair of sharp (锐利的) eyes which can tell the difference between good and evil. The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as the Monkey King to help scientists search for dark matter in space.

The name of the space station, Tiangong, means “Heavenly Palace (天宫)”. In Chinese myths (神话), this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong Space Station is a home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together.

Tianwen, China’s Mars mission (火星任务), gets its name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet (诗人) from ancient China. In Tianwen, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for truth. Perhaps the Tianwen mission will end up answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions.

If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, the Chinese people, have a long-cherished (珍藏已久的) space dream. So the naming of Chinese space programs is taken very seriously.

【推荐3】It is well-known that the “prom”, a formal dance held at the end of high school or college, is an important date in every student’s life. What is less well-known is that the word “prom” comes from the verb “to promenade”, which means to walk around, beautifully dressed, in order to attract attention.

The prom is not just an American tradition, though most people believe that it started in America. In Canada the event is called a “formal”.

Most countries have some form of celebration when students finish high school: after all, it means the end of life as a child, and the beginning of life as an adult.
The prom is expensive to organize and the tickets can cost students a lot of money. The tradition is that students themselves have to raise the money to pay for it. Selling the students newspapers is one way to raise money; so is taking a part-time job at the weekend.
Although the prom should be the experience of a lifetime, it also worries many students. There is the problem of what to wear, who to take as your partner, who will be voted “prom queen”, etc. And it is not only students who feel worried. What many parents find difficult is the realization that their children’s school days are almost over. However, for most people at the prom, once the music starts playing, everyone relaxes and stops worrying.
