One day, a father and his son went to a kite flying festival. When they arrived, there were already many adults and their children playing in the park. When the son saw the sky filled with {#blank#}1{#/blank#} kites in different shapes, he was excited and wanted to get one too. His father agreed to buy one for him. So they went to a kite shop and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a beautiful one.

    With the string(线)in hand, the son started {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the kite. Soon, the kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, "Father, it seems that the string is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?” The father didn't reply, but just cut the string off the reel(线轴). Suddenly, the kite began to go {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, which made the son much happier.

    However, to his surprise, the kite was coming down. They waited for quite some time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, it fell onto the grass. The son felt upset and asked, "I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?”

    The father smiled and said, “The role of the string was not stopping the kite from flying higher, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} helping it stay in the sky, because the kite {#blank#}7{#/blank#} can' t fly up. By using the string you help the kite go up in the right {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. When you cut the string, it could not support the kite.

    In our life, we may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing. But in fact, these might be the things that support us{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. We can really grow up and become stronger by realizing the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of these things.

A: Hi, John. How was your April Fool's Day?

B: It was terrible. One of my friends invited me to a costume party.

A: That {#blank#}1{#/blank#} good. Why do you say it was terrible?

B: By the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I got to the party, I realized I had been fooled, because I was the only one that was wearing a costume.

A: Oh, I see. That was really terrible.

B: What {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you, Ann?

A: I was tired on April Fool's Day.

B: What was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}？

A: My friends told me that we were going to have a math test the next day. I studied the whole night and was exhausted(精疲力竭的).

B: What {#blank#}5{#/blank#} next?

A: Then the next day I found they had fooled me. We didn't have a test.

B: Oh, poor Ann. You should go and have a good rest.
