The frame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been developed to serve various purposes.The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair of bird-like wings, it looks just like a large bird in the air. The modern version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk.Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again by the Chinese, for getting information from walled cities and army camps. In fact , as recently as the Second World War, German U-boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites,which are no longer in existence, were made of light-weight cloth. They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design, however, was simply that of the cutter kite. Smaller in size, this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a diamond-shaped frame, no wings and brown-paper covering.Box-kites are another type of kite found in toy shops today. The first box-kite, named for its box-like body, was developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton-covered kite greatly assisted the success of early aeroplane. These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box-kite, which consists of two main sections, placed side by side. Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind, it is the only modern kite described which has practical value. A long-lasting plastic material has to be used for this kite, which carries fishing lines.56.

His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift $ 7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially.” says Dave.But the Fusses werent the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.

They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything.” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.

Also, Camelot, the organizers, have made a profit of 10.8 million in five months. We hear that a lot of that money is boosting(increasing) the pay packets of the companys bosses.For the past 10 years Ive been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus. My husband, Sandy, died from cancer 11 years ago when he was only 51. Theres been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and its been destructive. Ive also lost two sisters-in-law, my brother, Michael, my father-in-law and my father. Thats apart from several close friendsThe charity is 50 years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research. It also runs a support line for the families of cancer sufferers. Our local group raises3 million and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets. But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced.Im not against people playing the National Lottery, but they should think about what theyre doing. The chances of winning the cumulative amount of money are so small; they might as well throw their money away. The Government tells us that the proceeds (收益)are going to things like the arts and sports, but what about the National Health Service? They should give some cash to that, too. How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so-called works of art like display of potatoes or buying up Winston Churchills papers at a cost of12 million?So who really are the winners in the National Lottery? When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research, I could weep. Its time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery. Its disappointing and so frustrating.66. The reason why the writer raises funds for cancer research is that _.A. she herself
