Every year, on the first Sunday of September, the Historical Regatta takes place in Venice. It has been one of the most important festivals in Venice since 1315. In the beginning, the event was organized to celebrate the return of Catherine Carnaro, the queen of Cyprus. Today, it is a celebration of joy and friendship.

The Historical Regatta · is made up of two parts : a parade and a rowing boat competition. The celebration starts with a parade of boats on water. The boats in the parade are colourful, and many of them have golden painting on both sides. People on these ancient-style boats wear clothes from the sixteenth century.

After the parade, there is a competition on the Grand Canal. It is watched by thousands of people. The Regatta is the most important event for every rower. For them, winning on that day means to become part of the history of this sport and of Venice. So rowers all over Venice look forward to joining in and winning this competition.

Traditionally, the 1st place winner was awarded a red flag, while the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place winners received white, green and blue flags. Some other awards were given along with the flags. One of them was a little living pig. But since some animal protection organizations object to this, the pig award has been cancelled.

Space travel is nothing new. The first spacecraft with a human on board blasted into space In 1961. since then, people have not only been travelling to space, but many of them have also lived there for extended periods.

Food

All the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent to the space station, along with the astronauts, by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be preserved by dehydration or canning.

The space station does not have a freezer to preserve food, but It does have a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh.

Astronauts also eat many other foods such as cereals, cereal bars, nuts and dried fruit that do not need any special preparation.

Eating

Astronauts have a set timetable each day. This tells them when to do everything, including when to have their meals. At meal preparation time, they start getting their food ready, which often includes adding water to re-hydrate the dehydrated foods.

Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tricky. Astronauts sometimes have to strap themselves and their food into place. Because of lack of gravity, astronauts cannot use ground salt and pepper, and all drinks must be taken from bottles. They also have to be careful that crumbs do not fly off and get stuck in vents and instrument panels.（選自《九年級(jí)下冊新理念英語閱讀》）
