How would you like to build a time machine?Paper, sticks, glue and string are all you need. Put them together to build a kite. A kite connects you to the past.
No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia. Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to Earth.
In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers put,noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away.
About 1300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan. Soon kites flew in the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over the fields. They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun.
Over the years, Kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1749, for example, thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco, California after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do.
Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane.
Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air, people have loved flying kites. Kites give us ways to celebrate, relax and explore. So go fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling of wonder that kite flyers have felt for centuries.

Kids’ health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. ____46____ Some ways of dealing with stress - like shouting at or hitting something - don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
Step one: get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. ____47____ And don’t forget about your friends. They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
Step two: don’t freak out(崩溃)! Notice your feelings, and name them—for example, “I am so angry!” And say or think about why you feel that way. Find a way to calm down and get past the upset feelings and find a way to express them. ____48____
Step three: try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. You need to understand what the problem is. Even if you can’t solve it all, maybe you can begin by solving a piece of it.
Step four: be positive. ____49____ Remember stress will go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, and you might have to do some steps more than once, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a hard time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. ____50____
A.Most stress will not last forever. B.Talk to trusted adults, such as parents or other relatives. C.Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone. D.Different people feel stress in different ways. E.Do breathing exercises, listen to music, or do whatever helps you feel better.
