        Americans like to have different kinds of parties such as birthday parties, surprise parties, tea parties and house warming parties. Pajama(睡衣) parties are one of the most popular kinds of parties in the US. At a pajama party, a group of friends spend the night at a person's house. It is a great way for children or teenagers to get together and have a good time.

        To hold a pajama party, the host will usually plan some fun activities such as watching movies, playing board games or video games. He or she should also prepare some delicious sweets, fruits and fun food like pizza. Guests at a pajama party should bring their own pajamas, toothbrushes, pillows(枕头) and blankets(毛毯).

Back in 1865, a French writer once wrote about man's landing on the moon on a special airplane with three people inside, and the first person to touch the ground on the moon would be an American. That was considered(被认为) to be a crazy(疯狂的) idea at that time. Over one hundred years later, in July 1969, however, this impossible dream did come true.

        It was a big day in the history of the 20th century. On that day, a special airplane took three brave (勇敢的) men from Cape Kennedy at a very high speed. The trip to the moon took over 100 hours. In fact, it was the first time that man had ever “walked” in outer space. On the trip, two of the spacemen spent two hours on the moon walking like flying, and the other stayed in the spaceship. They studied the appearance of the moon. Four days later, the spaceship Apollo 11,returned to the earth and the astronauts were welcomed by people around the country. The man who took the first step, Neil Armstrong, said, "That's a small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” This has been said again and again in every language around the world since then.
