Flying kites —a popular hobby

People have been making and flying kites for about 2,000 years. No one knows for sure who invented the kite. Some historians (历史学家) believe the ancient Chinese might start the kite flying 2,000 years ago. And now it is still a popular hobby in China, Japan, Korea and other countries of the Far East where beautifully decorated kites appear in different colors. In China, there is even a special Kites Day on which children and adults fly kites. In Japan, families fly fish kites on Children's Day, May 5th.

Simple kites are made by crossing two sticks and covering them with paper or cloth. And then people put a string at the end.

Kites are made in many different sizes, colors and shapes. A flat kite is the oldest and simplest type of kite. It flies because air flows over and under the kite's wings. The pressure under the wings helps the kite lift into the air.

Today most people fly kites as a hobby. Kite festivals are organized in many parts of the world.

It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food．Cherie Blair，the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair，said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?

The United States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken，lettuce and pickles，fruit and cookies．School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary
allowances(定量)of protein(蛋白质)，vitamin A．vitamin C，iron，calcium，and calories(卡路里)．
Australia
Meat pies，sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops．But as the nation pays more attention to children's health，healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．
Many schools have used a traffic light system．The sale of red-labelled foods including pastries，chocolate and soft drinks，is served only twice a week．Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi，sandwiches，corn and watermelon，however are served every day．
In some schools．students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from，including popcorn and rice．

    America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don't feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.
T    here is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
    For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!

We can see walls everywhere in the world. But the Great Wall of China is the biggest of all. The Chinese call it. “The Ten-thousand-Li. Great Wall.” It's in fact (事实) more than 6,000 kilometers long. It's 4-5 meters wide. In most places, five houses or ten men can walk side by side. When you visit the Great Wall, you can't help wondering (疑惑) how the Chinese people were able to build (建造) such a great wall thousands of years ago. Without any modern machine (机器), it was really very difficult to build it. They had to do all the work by hand. It took millions of men hundreds of years to build it.
The Great Wall has a history of over two thousand years. The kings began to build the first parts of it around two thousand seven hundred years ago. Then, Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up (连起来). He thought that could keep the enemy (敌人) out of the country.
Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest. Not only Chinese people but also people from all over the world come to visit it.
