Chinese elements highlighted at Olympic closing ceremony

The curtains came down on the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic

Games Sunday night at Bird’s Nest in Beijing. During the ceremony, many Chinese cultural

elements were put into the design of the grand show, expressing some Chinese romance.

They became the highlights of the closing ceremony and let’s take a look.

Festival lanterns

The closing ceremony began with a large snowflake torch(火炬) appearing in the sky,

echoing the moment from the opening ceremony. Then accompanied by cheerful music,

children hung traditional Chinese festive lanterns, lighting up the emblem of the Winter

Olympics, which originated from the Chinese character for winter, “dong”.

Chinese knot

The 12 Chinese zodiac(生肖) — themed ice cars created an outline of a Chinese knot

with its wheel trails. And then it was enlarged, and an enormous “Chinese knot” was

presented using digital AR technology. Each ribbon could be clearly seen, and all of the

ribbons twisted together, symbolizing unity and a good fortune.

Fish and riches

During the closing ceremony, the Malanhua Children’s Choir from a mountainous area

of Fuping county in Hebei province performed again, this time with different clothes.

The Chinese paper-cut of double fish was seen on their clothes, meaning “rich and have a

surplus in the next year” in Chinese culture.

Willow (柳树)branch for farewell

In ancient times, Chinese people broke a willow branch and gave it to their friends,

family or relatives when seeing them off, as willow sounds like “stay” in Mandarin. Willow

branches appeared in the closing ceremony, expressing Chinese people’s hospitality and

bidding farewell to the world guests.

Harper Lee (1926—2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a

Mockingbird, (published in 1960), which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a

classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won

three Academy Awards.

For decades, the book was Lee’s only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely

influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one

of the most widely taught novels in the US schools. In 2007 she was awarded the Presidential

Medal of Freedom for her contributions to literature.

Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel

won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world,

however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she suggested that she

had a story in progress.

In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring

Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a

Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult.

Though Lee moved to New York in 1949, she spent many years guarding her privacy (

隐私) in Monroeville, which served as the clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a

Mockingbird.

In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville

permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast

every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. The countless

Americans knew her only through her works, and they will undoubtedly miss her.

24. What can be learned about Harper Lee from the first two paragraphs?

A. She was regarded the greatest writer in America.

B. She made great contributions to American literature.

C. She once starred in a film adapted from her own novel.

D. She got her novels well accepted in most American schools.

25. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?

A. She tried to get out of accusations. B. She wanted to write another novel.

C. She intended to avoid being bothered. D. She was afraid of being criticized.

26. What can we learn about Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman?

A. It is based on her own life story.

B. It is adapted into a famous film.

C. It won her lots of honors and awards.

D. It continues the story of her earlier novel.

27. Which can be used to describe Harper Lee?

A. Influential but simple. B. Ill-tempered but productive.

C. Caring but stubborn. D. Inspiring but struggling

A TRAIN operator from Britain has made travelling more enjoyable — by hosting live

yoga classes during journeys.

Heathrow Express passengers travelling on October 13 were treated to sessions with

yoga influencer Celest Pereira, who has developed a 12-minute seat-yoga and meditation

（冥想）session to help travellers relax.

The class has been developed so travellers of all ages and abilities can perform the

exercises safely from their seats — and it’s believed to be the first time a yoga class has taken

place on a moving train and it received fabulous（极好的）feedbacks.

To get passengers in the right stage of mind, the “Tranquil Train” carriage hosting the

sessions was decorated with fresh eucalyptus (桉树叶) and lavender (薰衣草) to fill the

carriage with calming fragrances, as a consequence of which the passengers might feel much

more light-hearted.

The initiative（新方案）was launched after a study also conducted by Heathrow Express

found more than half of public transport users find travel stressful following the Covid-19

pandemic.

Celest Pereira said, “Travelling can get people very unsettled. As there’s lots going

on, lots of things to think about, and it’s very deadline driven so it can be a very intense

experience.” By hosting these classes we’re hoping to relieve those pressures and help

passengers be in the present moment, feel less overwhelmed and relieve any muscle tension.

Moreover, these kind of classes are likely to produce prized memories.

The surveyed adults also identified the most frustrating aspects of travel — including

delayed departures, big crowds, noisy environment as well as dull waits. They said that more

quiet carriages, more reserved seats, free snacks or refreshments plus reserved places for
