As the second most important festival in China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated in many traditional ways. Here are some of the most popular traditional celebrations.
Enjoying a good dinner with family.
Chinese people think the round shape of the moon stands for the reunion of the family. The most common way to celebrate is to have dinner with the family on the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The public holiday (usually 3 days) is mainly for Chinese people to have enough time to return home. Those people staying too far away from their parents’ homes usually get together with their relatives or friends.
Eating mooncakes.
Mooncakes are the must-eat food at the Mid-Autumn Festival. Most mooncakes are sweet. There are some mooncakes that have special flavors, for example, the salty mooncakes with meat. People eat mooncakes or give mooncakes to their relatives or friends as presents to express their love and best wishes.
Admiring the moon.
It’s said that the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the brightest and the most beautiful. Chinese people usually set a table outside their houses and sit together to admire the full moon. Parents with little kids often tell the story of Chang’e Flying to the Moon. As a game, kids try their best to find the shape of Chang’e on the moon.
Making and enjoying lanterns.
Lanterns are an important part of the Mid-Autumn Festival. People can make lanterns and hang them in trees and houses. They can also visit public lantern displays.

Ⅶ.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分、满分10分)
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
ChatGPT is an Al system that can have a discussion with people and create written work. It can create material based on (基于) what is learned from digital books and online passages. Now, three high school students in Cyprus have developed a special robot with their teachers. Why is this robot special That’s because it uses ChatGPT AI technology.
The robot is named AInstein. It is the size of a small adult, and it can also answer questions like humans. AInstein has a screen for a face that appears to show facial expressions. It speaks a North American form of English. And it can tell jokes, like “Why was the math book sad Because it had too many problems.” The robot enjoys reading science books. It also enjoys spending time playing the violin.
The creators of AInstein want to use technology to improve learning experiences in the classroom. In fact. there might be a place for robots in education. British education expert Anthony Seldon even predicts that robots will get control of the classroom in 2027 and teachers will work as their helpers.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teachers at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers, and 9-10 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That is a real problem. Some local governments don’t know how to deal with this problem. However, that problem can be partly solved by robots. Robots can teach anywhere and don’t get stressed or tired. They will never move somewhere for an easier, high-paid job.
