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.His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. 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 learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.46 .

Its a friendly way people in the United States greet each other. But How are you? is also a very unusual question. Its a question that often doesnt have an answer.When a person meets a friend on the street and asks How are you? the person doesnt really expect to hear an answer such as I really, dont know whats wrong with me. I thought I had a cold. I took some medicine, but that didnt help much, so I have a doctors appointment. The person who asks How are you? expects to hear the answer Fine, even if the other person isnt! The reason is that How are you? isnt really a question and Fine isnt really an answer. They are simply ways of greeting people and saying Hello. Sometimes, people also dont say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks Do you agree?, the other person might be thinking No, I disagree. I think youre wrong. But it isnt very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say, Im not so sure. Its a nicer way to say that you dont agree with someone.People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish conversation with other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, Ive got to go now. Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: Someones at the door. Ive got to put the vegetables away. Something is burning on the stove! The excuse might be real, or it might not be. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt very polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesnt hurt the other persons feelings. Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often dont say exactly what they are thinking. Its an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and its all part of the game of language!56 .

How can we make other people feel better if we dont agree with them on something?ABy telling them directly what we think.BBy saying“Im not quite sure about that ”.CBy asking them“How are you? ”DBy giving more good examples.59 . Why do people sometimes choose a roundabout way to end the telephone conversation?AThey want other persons to feel nice.BThey are afraid of telling lies.CThey try to find some polite excuses.DThey want the others feel their excuses real.60 .
