How the little kite learned to fly?

By Katherine Pyle

“I never can do it,” the little kite said,

As he looked at the others high over his head.

“I know I should fall if I tried to fly.”

“Try,” said the big kite, “only try!

Or I fear you never will learn at all”

But the little kite said, “I'm afraid I'll fall.”

The big kite said, “Ah, well, goodbye!

I am off.” And he rose towards the sky.

Then the little kite's paper stirred(微动).

And he shook himself free for flight.

First scared, the bravery grown,

Up, up he rose through the air alone,

While far below he could see the ground,

And the boys like small ants moving round.

“Oh, how happy I am!” the little kite cried.

“And all because I was brave and tried.”

   Most students in China have their own school rules. So do the schools in other countries.
   Japan: Most schools demand(要求) that students wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. They also demand that girls'white socks be folded in a certain way and boys'heads be shaved(剃).Other Japanese schools tell students that they may not date, go to movies, leave home after sunset or play video games without permission from school.
   USA: For safety at home USA schools, students must have a pair of indoor shoes to change into at school every day. This makes sure students won't fall over on the slippery floors and keeps the schools clean. Gum chewing is not allowed in many USA school buildings, as it is difficult to clean up. And if students chew gum in class, they may not focus on study.
   UK: Strange hairstyles are not allowed in some British schools. But they might allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup years. Two students had a special design shaved into their hair during 2002 World Cup. But they were not accepted by their school after that because the school said the rules changed since then.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says. In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

Many people like to travel by plane because it's fast, but I don't like it. An airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.

I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

I also like cars. You can start your journey（旅程） when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

Do you know about any manners(礼仪) in England? How can you act politely when you are in England? This guide will help you to do things as the English people do.

Visiting a museum

There certainly are a lot of rules in museums. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything or bring any drinks and food. You can't take any photos in some museums, either.

Standing in line

English people always wait in line in shops. If you don't stand in line, people will think you are impolite. At the bus stop, you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to wait your turn.

Meeting a new person

When people meet for the first time, the usual custom is to shake hands. The next time you meet that person, you can just say "hello". English people don't usually hug or kiss, unless they know each other really well.

Talking to people

To start a conversation, English people are always happy to talk about the weather. For example, you can start with" Isn't it warm today'?". This is much better than asking about age, politics(政治) or how much money people make.

Saying "Please, Thank You, Excuse Me and Sorry"

If somebody is in your way and you would like them to move, say" excuse me "and they will do it. If you are in someone's way, or you bump into others when you pass by, you should say "sorry". They will probably say "sorry", too, even if it is not their mistakes. So saying "sorry" does not always mean you are wrong. Sometimes it is just a polite thing.

For most people in the West, Valentine's Day(情人节) ends on February 15, but here in Japan it's not quite over until March 15. March 14-exactly one month after Valentine's Day--is White Day in Japan.

To really understand what White Day is all about, you have to understand what Valentine's Day in Japan is like. Japanese Valentine's Day is all about men getting presents. Japanese women are usually too shy to show their love, though it might not be true today. Valentine's Day is a great chance to let women show their feelings. Men should return gifts to women on White Day.

On both days, chocolate is the gift of choice. More often, the colour of the chocolate is white because of the name of the day. You can also buy flowers, candy or cookies.

Does it sound good to you? Don't get too excited when you get chocolate from Japanese girls! They give chocolate not only to their loved ones, but also to men such as bosses( 老板) and male(男性的) friends.

The Japanese first celebrated White Day in 1978. Now it is also celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan, China.

In 99% of human history, people took their food from the world around them. They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then about 10,000 years ago, or in 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.

The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in, For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fish. In central Europe, away from the sea, people don't eat so much fish. They eat more meat. In Germany and Poland there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.

In North America, Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East people use their fingers to pick up food.

Nowadays it is possible to transport(运输) food easily from one part of the world to the other. We can eat what we like, when we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or the USA; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is very big business. But people in poor countries are still hungry, and people in rich countries eat too much.
