How would you like to build a kite? Paper, sticks, glue and string are all you need. Put them together to build a kite. A kite connects you to the past.
No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia. Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to Earth.
In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away.
About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travellers took kites to Japan. Soon Kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their fields. They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way to today. Today, kites are a national treasure in many parts of the world and loved by all.
Over the years, kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1749, for example, a thermometre was tied to a kite to measure temperature. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that lightning is a form of electricity. In 1903, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco, California after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do.
Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright Brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane.
Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air, people have loved flying kites. Kites have so many ways to celebrate, relax and explore. So go fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling of wonder that kite flyers have felt for centuries.

“The delivery man has your food and is on his way.” You may get this message after ordering food online. It's common for delivery men to send food to us. But do you believe selfdriving cars will deliver food soon?
Now Baidu and Meituan are working together to use selfdriving technology for food delivery. They will make selfdriving cars to send group orders. For example, if a company orders meals for its workers, a selfdriving car will send all the food to the company directly.
Online food ordering is popular across China, even in small villages. Up to now, around 300 million people use different apps to order food online. Researchers say selfdriving delivery will be a revolution and change the food delivery industry greatly.
However, it still has problems. Selfdriving cars run well on flat roads, but they may not work well on rough roads. Such problems need to be solved first.
Some people worry delivery men will lose jobs. But the writer disagrees, because selfdriving delivery can't serve every person in every city.
根据短文内容,回答问题。
21.Which two companies are working together on selfdriving food delivery?
Baidu and Meituan.
22.What's an example of how selfdriving cars deliver group orders?
When a company orders food for its workers, a selfdriving car will bring all the orders to the company directly.
23.What problem do selfdriving cars face on nonflat roads?
They may not work well.
24.Why does the writer think delivery men won't lose their jobs?
Because selfdriving delivery cannot bring food to everyone in every city.
25.If selfdriving delivery becomes widely used, what changes do you think it will bring to your daily life?
I think it will make food delivery faster and more convenient, but we also need to ensure its safety.
