No one knows when the first kite was made. 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(隧道) into the king's 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.
( )1. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel
A. To pull down the palace.
B. To fight against the king.
C. To search for the king's treasure.
D. To find out the length of the kite string.

Dear David,
Thank you for writing to me and letting me know that you are coming to visit Asia soon. I’d like to tell you something about my favourite Asian country—Thailand.
I think Thailand is a great country to visit. It lies in South Asia, next to Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia. Its capital city is Bangkok. People in Thailand mainly speak Thai, so it may be difficult to communicate with the local people. There are about 69 million people in Thailand. Rice is the main crop there. It is also famous for its automotive industry.
Thailand has some famous traditional festivals such as Songkran and Phi Ta Khon. You may have seen these festivals in the films. There are also some well-known attractions in Thailand. The Grand Palace is one of them and it is well worth a visit.
I look forward to seeing you soon and I hope you can visit Thailand.
Yours,

Dear Eric,
You wanted to know about Chinese paper-cutting. Here I’m glad to tell you something about it. Chinese paper-cutting has a long history of over 2,000 years. It can be seen in different parts of China. Many people, no matter young or old, are fond of it. People in northern part of China do well in making paper-cuts. People cut paper into different shapes, like birds, fish, flowers and so on. I think Chinese paper-cuts are not only beautiful but also very useful. People usually put them on doors or windows when they celebrate something happy, especially for the Spring Festival. More and more people are interested in it. I hope you’ll come to China to see more Chinese paper-cuts one day.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ming
