No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2, 000 years ago in China. Har Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down the king. He decided to dig a tunnel（隧道）into the king's palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure of 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.
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 lightning 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（做实验）with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.

After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China-you're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities.
Chinese products have been going all over the world Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. "One example is the meat, "said Yin Hang, a Chinese student who is studying in Australia. "We like to eat meat with the bone（骨头）in, but people here don't. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish. "
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones（无人机）are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They're not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. "Made in China" becomes cool. "They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don't have, "an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.

Every night in Jinan University in Guangzhou, a group of students plays diabolo（空竹）as a crowd watches on in amazement.
Chen Zhelun, 25, a Malaysian-Chinese started the diabolo club, which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game. He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country's cultural heritage（遗产）by starting clubs.
The diabolo, which came from China, is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia.
"We played diabolo from primary school onward. I thought I could find someone to play with in China, but only a few students knew about it. So I started a club to develop it, "says Chen.
To Chen's surprise, the old game has interested a huge crowd—more than 1, 000 students have joined the club.
"It keeps your body strong and it's fun, "says Chen.
But some prefer quieter activities. Every weekend, one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded, but it's unusually silent. The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters with traditional brushes.
Fan Dongling, 21, a student in Shenzhen University, says it's a shame that young people no longer enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters.
Although her club is quiet, Fan says it keeps members healthy, mentally and physically.

If you have ever seen a celebration of the Chinese New Year, you may have seen a large, colorful lion dance to the sounds of drums. Of course, it is not a real lion. It's actually skilled dancers in costume, performing a lion dance.
The lion dance is a traditional part of Chinese culture. It is often performed on the eve of the Chinese New Year. It's also performed on other special occasions, like weddings. The dance is thought to bring good luck and success.
While there are many different stories of how the lion dance began, one story traces back to a village in China hundreds of years ago. The story says that the villagers were attacked by a monster（怪兽）called Nian. A lion scared the Nian away. But a year later, the Nian returned, and this time the lion was unable to help. So the villagers created the lion costume of their own. The fake（假的）lion danced, and scared the Nian away. For this reason, people perform the lion dance on the night before the Chinese New Year.
There are two different styles of the lion dance. In a southern lion dance, the dancers base their performance on a lion's behavior. The lion may scratch（挠）or shake its body. The dance can be funny. The other style is the northern lion dance. This style is closely related to the martial art. It includes rolling and jumping.
Both styles require skill and practice to perform. And both are very interesting to watch!

35.What are the two different styles of Chinese lion dance （不超过10个词） _____________
36.What do the dancers base their performance on in a southern lion dance
