International Pillow Fight Day

    International Pillow Fight Day is held every April around the world—from Amsterdam, Budapest, to New York. It has been celebrated since 2008. Hundreds of people go out with their pillows hitting each other's face, back and chest. People dress up as superheroes and animals, laughing and fighting.

    The festival used to be a game to release (释放) energy and stress. Nowadays besides bringing fun, International Pillow Fight Day has become a way to quickly collect pillows for the homeless. In 2014, about 2,000 pillows were collected for the poor in Bronx and Brooklyn.

    Rules: Bring your own pillows and don't hit anyone without a pillow or with a camera.

    The Guinness World Record: The latest record of the largest pillow fight was set on October 27, 2013 in Chicago, with 4,500 pillows and 3,813 people.

 D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):

While Li Ming was in America, he went with his class to visit a space centre. There he heard an astronaut, Piers Sellers, talk about his journey into space. 

Piers told them all about his trip on the space shuttle Discovery. When Li Ming saw Piers, he had just returned to earth after a 13-day journey to the International Space Station. 

Astronauts have to spend years in training before they can go into space. Piers waited a long time before the 'big day'. Piers had been excited but also very nervous before the take-off. He said, "It's difficult to keep calm(平静的) and relaxed during the count-down(倒计时). The take-off was very frightening. "

Piers said that being in outer space was amazing. He saw the sun and all the planets. He saw the galaxy(银河)with its billions of stars. Unfortunately(遗憾地),he couldn't see China's Great Wall. When Yang Liwei, China's first astronaut, went into space, he couldn't see it either. But the earth still looked 'very beautiful'. 

Life was different in space. The food tasted fine but it was like baby food. The astronauts had to eat out of a toothpaste tube(牙膏管). It was difficult to brush their teeth or have a shower. Water floats(漂浮) in bubbles(气泡) in space. There was a special 'air toilet'. 

Besides all the work Piers had to do, they exercised on exercise bikes and rowed for about two hours every day. Piers also kept a diary. 

A German astronaut stayed at the International Space Station to work for another six months. Piers had to return, but he was glad to be back. His journey into space was a wonderful experience. But he said that now he just wanted to spend time with his family and have a good meal without if floating away!
