The Venice Historical Regatta
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.
When the Regatta is finished, the city is full of people celebrating among all the noise.
There are exciting performances in the important squares of Venice.

We have always been interested in the Moon. 2, 000 years ago people already knew it circles around the Earth and it is in different places in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the Moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes (望远镜) to study the Moon more clearly.. Their ideas began to change. They could see that there were lots of rocks on the surface of the Moon. Most scientists thought Moon rocks would be different from the rocks on the Earth.
in 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the Moon and the Earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas came out according to the new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the Moon was once part of the Earth. They believe about 4 million years ago, something of the same size as Mars hit the Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around the Earth. These rocks slowly joined together and at last became the Moon.
In the future, our ideas about the Moon may change again. However, we will still be interested in the Moon.

A report from the United Nations (UN) says the world needs another 69 million teachers by the year 2030.
