Nobody knows exactly how or when a kite was first flown, but it is said that when a Chinese farmer tied a string(绳子 ) to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born. Children like playing with kites. Kites for work or play were made of wood, bamboo, paper, or silk. In 478 B.C. a Chinese philosopher, Mo Zi, spent three years making a kite out of light wood and bamboo. The earliest record of kite flying was in about 200 B.C. when the Chinese General(将军) Han Hsin of Han Dynasty flew a kite over the walls of a city. He wanted to know how far his army would have to travel. In the 13th century Marco Polo wrote about how the shipping businessmen flew the huge kite in the wind before the ship set sail. They predicted the voyage(航海) in this way. If the kite went high and straight it meant a quick and successful voyage, but if it did not fly well it was a bad omen. In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by the Italians. Kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book in 1589. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。(10 分) ( ) 16.
