C Horses, dragons, and even the Monkey King—you probably wouldn’t believe to see this group of characters flying together in the sky, but this happens every year in Weifang, the “Kite Capital of the World” in East China’s Shandong Province. Kites, which were invented over 2,000 years ago in China are thought to be the earliest flying things created by humans.

Nowadays, the most common kite-making skills can be found in three places: Weifang in Shandong Province, Nantong in Jiangsu Province and Lhasa in Tibet. The city of Weifang is known as a center of kite culture and is widely believed as the birthplace of these popular flying toys. Weifang International Kite Festival has been held on the third Saturday of every April since 1984.

D Did you know that when you surf the web, websites in some countries put secret software on your computer? Social media (媒体) sites also collect your personal information. What will they do to your information? First, companies collect and store your online information. With this information, they’ll find out where you live, what websites you visit and what you do online and they can even guess if you are a man or woman, how old you are and your interests.

By taking exercise every day, I become much stronger and healthier than before. Exercise is important for our health and happiness. My favorite exercise is running and playing badminton. I run in the morning to wake up and feel energetic for the day, and I play badminton with friends after school. These activities not only help me keep fit but also improve my social ability. When we are at school, we students can play sports like basketball and soccer. These games are fun and help us stay healthy. They also teach us to work together as a team. After school, riding bikes around the neighborhood is also a great way to enjoy some fresh air while getting exercise. As for the suggestions, I suggest that students should find an exercise they really enjoy. Maybe it’s dancing, jumping rope, or even just walking with friends. Remember, the goal is to have fun and stay active. Don’t push yourself too hard and always listen to your body. Let’s all make a promise to do more exercise in our daily lives. It will make us healthier and happier. Let’s move and enjoy a better life together! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
