The Mid-autumn Festival has a history of 2000 years. During the 2000 years lots of Mid-autumn traditions have been thought up by Chinese people. All the celebrations show the happiness and excitement of people.
The main celebrations during the Mid-autumn Festival are admiring the moon, eating mooncakes together and making Chinese Mid-autumn Festival lanterns.

第三节 摘录信息（10分）
A different way of teaching is widely used in our English study.
Before class, we make study plans first. Then we look up the new words,listen to the recording and read the text. When we meet problems that we can’t solve by ourselves, we always write them down in our notebooks.
In class, we sit in groups to discuss the problems freely. The teacher always offers help when we need. After discussion, it’s time for us to give a report to the class. We also make conversations in pairs and practice a lot . It’s really good for our listening and speaking.
After class, we have less homework now, so we can go to the library to read English books, magazines and newspapers. We can also surf the Internet for useful information.
In a word, we enjoy the new way of studying. We can make progress in our study.
