The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is one of the most important traditional festivals in Chinese culture.

It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, which usually corresponds to late September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. The festival is celebrated not only in China but also in many other East Asian countries such as Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan.

The origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival can be traced back to ancient China's Shang Dynasty over 3,000 years ago. The festival's traditions and customs have evolved over the centuries, blending with various cultural and historical influences.

To the Chinese, the Mid-Autumn Festival means the family reunion and peace. The festival is celebrated when the moon is believed to be the biggest and fullest. A full moon is a symbol of completeness, good luck, and the family reunion.

In ancient times, emperors would worship the moon in grand ceremonies, expressing gratitude for the year's harvest. Over time, this tradition gradually spread to the common people, and families started to gather and appreciate the full moon together.

People often travel long distances to be with their loved ones and enjoy a meal together. It is a time to reflect on the importance of family and to give thanks for the blessings of life. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a colorful and joyous celebration that highlights the rich culture and traditions of China. It is a time for family, friends, and the community to come together, appreciate the beauty of the moon, and review the legends that have shaped Chinese tradition.

Over eighty years ago, in Herzogenaurach, Germany, a young shoemaker made house slippers from old military canvas bags to help put food on his family's table. He was also a keen soccer player, and he soon applied those slippers to his soccer game. The attention he gained for his lightweight, comfortable sport shoes, did nothing but grow from the first day he wore them. His name was Adi Dassler.

Adi's passion for sport led him to begin experimenting with special footwear for athletes, and in 1924—together with his brother Rudolf—he officially registered the company "Gebnider Dassler Schuhfabrik" (Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory).

He completed school and finished a short apprenticeship as a baker, but decided against baking as a long-term career. After returning from conscription in the army at the end of World War One, he learned the skills of being a shoemaker, and opened a small shoe repair business at the back of his family home. One of Adidas' most innovative products in the 1950s was their football boot.

In the 1954 World Cup in Bern, Switzerland, the Adidas boots worn by the West Germans were half the weight of the traditional English-made boots worn by the Hungarians. On a wet and muddy pitch, these boots helped the West Germans claw back a two-goal deficit to produce a surprising World Cup victory.

In the late 1960s, Adidas decided to expand its production line into apparel. Tracksuits were not a new concept for athletes, but in 1967 Adidas released a suit made of new lightweight synthetic fibers, and with stylish fashion details: The Three Stripes were borrowed from Adidas shoes and emblazoned down the arms and legs.

The launch of fashionable sporting apparel is a key milestone in Adidas' history. The style soon became popular in the USA where the jogging craze in the 1970s was taking hold. "Ordinary" people could now wear Adidas when out for a run—the tracksuit was here to stay.

16、 What was the profession of Adi before? ______

A. A lawyer.        B. A professor.        C. A policeman.         D. An athlete.

17、 What can we learn from the passage? ______

A. Adi could fully understand what an athlete needed.

B. Adi was rich before he started making shoes.

C. Adi chose to pursue baking as his lifelong profession.

D. The Adidas' background is a short history of collaboration and innovation.

18、 Why is Adi recognized and respected by people? ______

A. Because he decided to expand its production line into apparel.

B. Because he is a visionary.

C. Because he helped many unnamed sportsmen achieve success.

D. Because he was also a keen soccer player.

19、 What is Adiclas'symbol? ______

A. The Three Stripes.    B. New lightweight synthetic fibers.

C. A suit.    D. The arms and legs.

20、 What's the best title for the passage? ______

A. Adi Dassler's obsession with improving the design

B. The life of Adi Dassler

C. Adidas' history and development

D. The Adidas' background
