Its name came from a kind of bird called kite. Simple kites are made by two crossing sticks and covered with paper or cloth，with a string at the end. More expensive kites have frames(框)that are made of plastic or other material. Kites are made in many different sizes，colors and shapes. A flat(平的)kite is the oldest and simplest type of kite. It flies because air goes over and under the kite. The pressure(大气压力)under the kite is higher than the pressure over it. It helps the kite fly in the sky. Kites have also been used in experiments. Early scientists sent kites up into the air to study the temperature of the air at different heights. In 1752，Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that lightning was a type of electricity. He connected a metal key with the string of a kite. When lightning hit the kite，electricity passed down the string and Franklin got an electric shock. He was very lucky to live on. Kites were also used to develop airplanes. The Wright Brothers experimented with kites before they flew the first airplane. In the past kites were also used to take pictures in wars. Today，kite flying is a popular hobby in many countries and kite festivals are organized in many cities in all parts of the world.( )1 .The name，kite，came from_ .

During his stay in China，he discovered that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries，people did not use paper money until the 15th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2，000 years ago. He made it from wood. Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. Every day，people throw away about 2. 80 tons of paper in our city，It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 4，800 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow，we must start using less paper now. If we dont，we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper，especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping，we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag，we can save it and reuse it later.( )6.
