    根据短文内容回答问题

    Up in the Sky

        Take a trip up a hill on a windy day. What is flying high in the sky? It isn't a bird or a plane. It is a kite!

        Kids and adults like flying kites. Long ago, the first kites were made by Chinese people. Then, people around the world began flying kites.

        One story tells a man's hat got lifted off by wind. He had fun chasing his hat, so he did it again! His hat became the first kite. Other stories tell that people liked watching leaves on windy days. They tied leaves to strings and watched them fly.

        Long ago, kites became important in keeping China protected. A man might be lifted up by a kite while he spied(监视) on an enemy. He could use the kite to fly high like a plane. He could also fight from the air!

        Kites come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. They are usually made of cloth or paper. A kite might be shaped like a bird, a fish,  or just a box. Kites are also painted with colors.

        You can use a kite to catch fish. First you tie a fishing line to a kite. Then you put bait(鱼饵) on the line. You watch the kite with hopes as it flies over the water. When you pull the kite down, you might find a fish on your line! Some people think this is more fun than using a fishing pole(杆).

        Many countries have special days to honor kites. People make, sell and fly many types of kites. There are several kite festivals in China. The Beijing International Kite Festival is usually held in April every year. People spend all days flying kites. You might see famous fighter kites. People fly these kites quite fast and try to cut other flyer's lines.

        There is much to learn about kites. From long ago in China until now, kites have had many uses. They have been used for spying, fighting, and fishing. But the best way to use a kite is to fly it high for fun!

    Since 2017, short videos have got millions of views online and become one of the most popular communication ways in China. Many people create and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. The videos are usually 15 seconds to a few minutes long. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} According to a report, more than 50 percent of Grade 7 and 8 students said they enjoy watching these short videos. From the videos, teenagers see funny and exciting things they won't usually see.

    About 47 percent of teenagers have posted their own videos. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} For example, a 13-year-old user named Xiao Qianyu has posted videos showing her learning jazz dance with her friends. This ha won her many fans.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Some students spend too much time watching them and therefore do not have enough time to study. Some videos are not suitable for teenagers and have a negative effect on them.

    To deal with this problem, Douyin added a new function (功能). {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Also, the government asked companies to make stricter rules for these apps and take away the unsuitable videos. In this way, the apps have been controlled much more strictly since then.

    A. They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing.

    B. It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day.

    C. However, short video apps can also cause problems.

    D. Most of the users on the apps are young people, including teenagers.

    E. Many teens also like to share the fun things they do with others.

    Every Saturday evening, many people come to an open square in a small town in Xi' an. They want to watch Chen Kun and his friends put on a play. During the play, the audience (观众) can hear them, but they can not see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet play (皮影戏).

    Shadow puppets are made of hard leather (皮革). The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.

    During a shadow puppet play, Chen stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Chen and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets' shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.

    Shadow puppet plays are a traditional Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. To encourage more young people to learn the skills of shadow puppet plays, Chen provides training courses for students to teach them how to make shadow puppets.

    Chen and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.

    Since 2010, many museums around the world have been holding Slow Art Day in order to make their visitors take their time and enjoy art more deeply.

    In a world full of games, apps and videos, people spend less and less time on things. Several studies have shown that the most common amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many visitors may spend 28 seconds. In that short time, they are also trying to take photos in the museum!

    In recent years, museums have been working to change the situation. Over 170 museums around the world celebrate Slow Art Day. They ask their visitors to spend at least 5 to 10 minutes looking at just one work of art.

    Many people believe that when visitors spend more time looking at a work of art, they enjoy it more. By spending time, they are able to notice more things about the work of art. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better knowledge of the artist's ideas and what the artist went through to create the work. Most museums taking part in Slow Art Day choose just a few works for their visitors. In their opinion, when people visit a museum with lots of works of art, they feel like they must see everything in the museum. As an artist said, "You can't really see a painting as you're walking by it."
