标题：Will the Spirit of 1976 Come to 2026?

正文：Garland Pollard was 11 in 1976, the year the United States celebrated its 200th birthday, and was living in Virginia Beach with his parents. "We were a Nixon family, " Mr. Pollard said. "I remember all the dinner party talk about Watergate. There were race riots at that time. It was pretty feisty — there were arguments at the dinner table." Yet as Mr. Pollard, 60, wrote in an editorial last summer in Boca Beacon, the Florida newspaper he edits, in that bicentennial year "there was a wave of patriotism that came seemingly out of nowhere.”

知识点：riot n. /ˈraɪ.ət/

标题：Which Iran is America dealing with?

With talks set to resume，rivalries in the Iranian leadership could stymie a truce

正文：The past couple of days in the Middle East have been characterised by the now-familiar whiplash. On April 17th POTUS announced the Strait of Hormuz had opened to traffic. Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, confirmed as much. The same day outlets linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) criticised Mr. Araghchi for failing to mention the conditions of the opening. The next day a military spokesman said the strait was closed again; several vessels came under fire as they tried to sail through. POTUS mocked the move to reblock the passage, reminding the world that America’s own blockade already ensured it remained closed to Iranian ships. Yet on April 19th he said an American delegation would return to Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, for more talks with the Iranians, and repeated threats to bomb Iran’s civilian infrastructure unless negotiations succeeded.

知识点：be characterised by phr.
to have a particular quality or feature that makes something distinct. 以……为特征；具有……特点
e.g. Autumn is characterised by cool weather and fallen leaves. 秋天的特点是天气凉爽、落叶纷飞。

标题：Why McDonald’s and KFC are growing like wildfire in China

Western fast-food brands are expanding into the countryside

正文：OFFICIALLY IT IS a city. But Hanchuan, in central China, is largely rural. Many of its 1m people live between fields and small factories. A company making sewing thread and a handful of fisheries make up a good chunk of its economy. But there was a buzz in the tiny city centre in January, when Hanchuan’s first McDonald’s opened its doors. When The Economist visited on a snowy afternoon soon after, the fastfood restaurant was packed.

知识点：Officially（原形 official）/əˈfɪʃəli/副词，本义为官方地、正式地；在本文政经语境中，特指「从国家行政区划、官方认定层面来说」，潜台词为 “事物的官方定性与实际属性存在反差”，是外刊描述行政属性与现实情况差异的高频用词，比单纯的 formally 更贴合财经、时政类文本的语境。
・Officially, it is a prefecture-level city, but its economic scale is even smaller
than many counties. 从官方行政区划来说，它是一座地级市，但经济规模甚至比很多县城还要小。
・The new regulation will be officially implemented across the country at the beginning of next year. 这项新规将于明年年初在全国正式实施。
