The custom of flying a piece of cloth high in the sky began more than 2，000 years ago in China.Since then，kites have been served in many fields，like doing scientific experiments，powering boats，taking pictures from the air and much more.In fact，kite-flying is a great way to clear the mind.
    When Americans Kay and Larry Day found a store selling kites nearly 20 years ago，they decided to buy a few kites for their family.For fun，Larry bought one for himself. "He went out and flew it and decided he needed to go back and get a better one，" Kay remembered.Since then，she and her husband have loved kite-flying.They own many kites and plan trips around flying them.They also organize a kite-flying event each winter in their hometown in Iowa. "I'm at peace when I'm flying a kite，" said Larry.
    Nic O'Neill，president of the American Kite-fliers Association said that kite-flying can be done alone or with friends and family.Kites appeal（有吸引力）to people who like to create works of art or to those who like to combine kite-flying with music.O'Neill said， "Part of the reason I love flying kites is that I have to risk trying and not succeeding.The best way to learn is to go out，undo the string（細(xì)繩）and let your kite fly.The perfect condition includes a nice steady wind and a place away from trees and buildings."
    Grant Lovett began flying simple kites as a child，but moved on to costlier and more complex kites as an adult.Today，Lovett likes making his own kites.He builds them from strong，lightweight materials and products designed for sailboats.Lovett attends kite-making classes and looks for new models on the Internet.He makes kites of different shapes and sizes because flying conditions can be greatly different.He also notes that experience makes a difference，and so does the weather and he likes the happy feelings that he experiences when his kite moves through the sky. "It is really calming，" he said.

1．For hundreds of years，women in Myanmar's Kayan area have worn bronze rings around their necks and other parts of their body.The rings are a traditional symbol of beauty.They also extend the necks of the women，making them very long.
   But now，younger Kayan women are turning away from the tradition of their ancestors.Mu Tu is one of the few women who knows how to make the traditional rings and put them on.She is 48 years old.She says，"The shorter sets are easier to make.Everyone has their own preference.So if someone doesn't like what you've put on，you have to take it off and start over."
   83-year-old Maria Khaing has been wearing rings on her neck，wrists and knees since she was eight."My dad told me I looked like a boy，and he would buy me a gun to hunt as a man.But I said every girl is wearing the ring，so I want to wear the rings，too."Maria never removes the rings，even when cooking，eating or working."It is comfortable.At first it was hard but now it's fine.I eat and food goes down，"she said.
   Wearing neck rings was once expected of all Kayan women.But more and more have started toshun the practice.Maria's granddaughter，20-year-old Za Oo，is among those who have not kept with the tradition."They're heavy and uncomfortable.Also I don't know much about them，that's why I don't wear them，" she said.
   What is known is that besides extending the women's necks，the practice also crushes collarbones（鎖骨） and causes discomfort when swallowing.Even Mu Tu admits that safety is a concern."If you don't make the rings correctly，someone can choke，"she said.
   Whether safety or changing fashion，many young Kayan women are turning their backs on the tradition.Experts say there are now fewer than 100 long-neck women in Myanmar.That is down from about 300 to 400 in the 1990s.

（1）How many years has Maria Khaing been wearing rings on her neck？

A．Promote.
B．Stop.
C．Analyse.
D．Observe.
（3）Za Oo didn't wear rings on her neck because

.
A．her father wanted her to be a hunter
B．she thought the practice not safe
C．she knew little about the tradition
D．she found it not fashionable to do so
（4）What can we learn from the passage？

A．The rings will always be a symbol of beauty to Kayan.
B．Many Kayan women know how to make neck rings.
C．The practice of wearing rings can lead to getting choked.
D．Many long-necked Kayan women have removed the rings.

2．Plants grow well with enough sunshine and water.However，put in unfortunate conditions，they have no choice but to die.But what if plants could relocate to better places？
   It was this question that Sun Tianqi，founder of a Chinese robotics firm Vincross，asked himself while watching a dead sunflower. "I thought if it could have taken a 30 - foot walk out of the shadow to where the other sunflowers were，it would have lived healthily，" he said.
   He decided then to build a robot that would let plants do just that.The researchers took one of his company's traditional HEXA robot models and built a "flowerpot，" which replaced HEXA's shell.
   HEXA is a six - legged robot that comes complete with all the necessary sensors.The impressive plant robot can chase （追逐） the sun，hide for shelter，and perform a funny dance to indicate it is thirsty.
   Tianqi concluded， "Plants are passive.No matter if they are being cut，bitten，burned or pulled from the earth，or when they lack sunshine，water，or are too hot or cold，hey will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.They have the fewest degrees of freedom among all the creature in nature.This is simply the setting that nature gives to plants.I hope that this project can bring some inspiration to the relationship between technology and bad natural settings."

（1）What does Tianqi say about the plants？

A．Some plants cannot survive in bad surroudings.
B．Some plants chase the sun to acquire shelter.
C．Plants have a life cycle like humans.
D．Plants are important to the environment.
（2）What inspired Tianqi to build a plant robot？

A．His environmental awareness.
B．His love for sunflowers.
C．A broken flowerpot.
D．A dead flower.
（3）What do we know about the plant robot？

A．It is solar - powered.
B．It carries plants to move.
C．It feeds nutrients to plants.
D．It offers growers useful tips.
（4）What's the main idea of the last paragraph？

A．His robot needs much improvement.
B．Technology can set human beings free.
C．His robot has many useful future applications.
D．Technology can remove natural disadvantages.

3．How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face？Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures？Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
   New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However，how these expressions are interpreted（解釋） might depend on where you are from.Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions.It was widely believed that six basic emotions （happiness，sadness，fear，anger，surprise and disgust） were expressed and recognized across different cultures.However，the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion.This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish（辨別）.Fear and surprise，for example，both share wide open eyes.The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
   So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions，how do we communicate a much more complex（復(fù)雜的） kind of feeling？The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures.However，while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition，scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures，the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
   What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research？This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.

（1）What did the University of Glasgow find？

A．Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B．Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C．It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D．Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
（2）Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion？

A．Sadness，fear，anger and surprise.
B．Anger，sadness，fear and happiness.
C．Happiness，surprise，sadness and fear.
D．Disgust，happiness，anger and sadness.
（3）What can we learn according to Paragraph 3？

A．Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B．Facial expressions can't show complex feelings.
C．Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D．The way to express emotions changes with time.
（4）Which is the proper title for the passage？

A．What Does Your Face Say？
B．How Do We Communicate？
C．What Are the Six Basic Emotions？
D．Do We Have the Same Expressions？
