①The Chongyang Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival—a perfect time to make the elders feel special. It’s been a tradition for years, but if you haven’t celebrated it before, this could be a good year to start. Maybe you can do something grand for your grandparents.
②One way to celebrate your grandparents is to simply spend time with them, which is many grandparents’ favourite thing to do. You could plan to share a meal, go for a walk, read together, or invite them to one of your activities. If they don’t live close by, you can video call them to chat or to do something together.
③Another way to mark the day is to spend it volunteering with your grandparents. Talk to them about what they might like to do. If they love the outdoors, you could spend time cleaning up one of their favourite parks. If they love to cook, you could cook with them and make bagged lunches to bring to a food pantry. Helping others is a great experience to share with your grandparents and will help you make memories you’ll never forget.
④You can also celebrate your grandparents by making them a special video message. You can start by expressing best wishes, then share some favourite memories of times you have spent together. If you have sisters or brothers, they can be part of your video or they can make their own. It’s like a digital(数字的) card your grandparents can watch when they’re missing you.
⑤Many grandparents are the historians of their family. One way to learn more about your family’s past is to go through stored photos and keepsakes(纪念品) with your grandparents. Ask them to open up a couple of boxes and talk to you about the contents. Another choice is to do a video interview with a grandparent about your family’s history and share it with the rest of your relatives.

文章主要介绍了重阳节(又称九九重阳节)这一向长辈表达心意的传统节日，并详细给出了四种庆祝方式：陪伴祖父母共度时光、与祖父母一起参与志愿服务、为祖父母制作专属视频祝福、和祖父母一起翻阅家族老照片或进行家族历史访谈。
第9题：第三段提到“make bagged lunches to bring to a food pantry”，结合“volunteering”(志愿服务)语境，可推测“pantry”指“免费领取食物的地方”，对应选项B。A(与祖父母分享食物的地方)、C(卖食物赚钱的地方)、D(学烹饪的地方)均不符合志愿服务逻辑。
