The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隊道)into the kings palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度)of its string (线).In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be.

In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752，Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验)with kites. What they learned helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.（1）Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A . To pull down the palace.B .

I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.Britain, along with much of Northern Europe, has a non-touch culture, so personal space is very important. In a formal(正式的) situation, we would usually greet each other with a handshake. Informally, but not so often, my British friends and I would greet with a hug. Hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek, let alone a hug and two kisses on the cheek!Here in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, both men and women greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other. In other words, little personal space is left between people when communicating.At university, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian. And since I moved to live with the local people, I have also started to pick up their body language. Sometimes, I find myself not knowing what hand signs to use when expressing myself. However, what I know for sure is that I would miss the opportunity to fully put myself in the Italian culture if I keep my personal space unbroken.Here are 5 body language tips in Italy; Use different signs; head, arms and hands. Use facial expressions. Always smile at people! It is said that smiling is the most powerful unspoken way to communicate friendliness. Use eye contact, because the eyes are the window to the soul. Dont worry about personal space. Italians are a people who like to use the sense of touch, so moving away or keeping your distance may be considered as being unfriendly. Touch. When meeting and leaving, always shake hands.（1）In Britain, people usually greet each other with .A . a warm hugB . a handshakeC . a kiss on the cheekD . two kisses on the cheek（2）The writer uses Britain and Italy as examples to show .A . men and women greet in the same wayB . Italians are more friendly than the British peopleC . keeping personal space is very important in any countryD . people in different countries use different body language（3）From Paragraph 3, we can learn that the writer .A . likes to keep his personal spaceB . tries to learn Italian body languageC . knows little about Italian hand signsD . keeps using British body language in Italy（4）What is the most powerful unspoken way to show friendliness in Italy? A . Hand signs.B . Smiling.C . Eye contact.D . Touch.四、 阅读短文。 (共1题；共10分)16. （10分）阅读下面短文，补全表格中所缺的信息。Many students ask for advice about improving their English. There are three basic questions.The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself！The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, Our school has a foreign teacher. But Im shy and cant speak to her. What should I do?When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China? These questions are quite simple, but they are good to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.The third question is about vocabulary. Olive, from Anhui wrote, I want to remember all the new words. I wrote them down, but I forget them quickly, what should I do?Try to remember eight or nine words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and put them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day. And when youre shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?Topic: How to _About real EnglishSome students _a long time watching films and listening to songs in English.You can talk about the film and songs with your friends and guess what the new words _.About speakingSome people are too _to speak English.You can start a conversation with a_.You can _deeply and smilebefore you begin to speak.About vocabularyMany students cant _all the new English words.You should try to remember _ words each day.五、 阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。 (共1题；共10分)17. （10分）根据短文内容的理解，选择正确答案。 Once there was a very foolish thief.
