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!

试题篮
No matter what kind of video we're watching, as long as the bullet comments are on, it will turn into a comedy.
With bullet comments on, we can see other people's thoughts, so we can have a different experience. Sometimes we can even find details of the video from them. It allows people to share their feelings. It turns the film-watching experience into an online social activity. I usually enjoy the movie and share my ideas with others in this way at the same time.
When there were no bullet comments before, I had more thoughts on the movie. Ever since there have been bullet comments, I need to turn them on when I watch videos because some comments have something to do with the story. However, I do have less thoughts on the movie itself with them on. That makes me quite bored. 
If someone just keeps telling the story of the movie while you're watching it do you want to beat him at once?
