yaozi in south china? early in the five dynasties, a man named li ye used to make and fly a kite in the emperors court. he once attached a whistle made of bamboo to the kite. sound was let out when the kite was flying. the kite was therefore named after zheng, a kind of chinese music instrument. then it was named fengzheng in chinese.the earliest kite in the world was made by motse, a famous chinese philosopher, who lived 2,300 years ago, for military (军事的) purposes. he spent three years making an eagle and managed to fly it. the eagle was later regarded as the first kite in the world. kite-flying became an entertainment probably from the tang dynasty when the royal family and people of the highest class were addicted to it. it was said that the emperor xuanzong in the tang dynasty once was interested in a kite named eight immortals crossing the sea flying in the air. later, the paper-made kite was invented, which cost less and spread quickly among the common people. as time went by, kites flew to various countries in the world. the well-known british scientist, dr. needham, once described kites as an important scientific invention which spread to europe from china in his book, a history of chinas science and technology. the invention of the kite inspired mens dream of flying and led to the invention of the airplane.55. the kite made by li ye was named after a chinese

i spend time on social media sites and see people complaining about how much they hate their parents or are annoyed by their families, i am reminded how grateful i am for having a close relationship with my family, especially my parents.my parents divorced before i was two years old. this is not uncommon in our generation. i think a lot of students feel annoyed or stressed from having divorced parents and can have a lot of anger and emotions and blame them on their parents. this has never been the case for me. although its not always sunshine and rainbows in my family, i know there is nothing comparable to the love my parents have for me.it can surprise people when they see me constantly texting my mom throughout the day. just like any normal relationship, we fight from time to time, but it usually doesnt take more than five minutes before we apologize. my relationship with my dad has had its trials, but im definitely a daddys girl. i know so many people who dislike their fathers or have nearly no relationship with them, and i cannot imagine having those thoughts or problems. it shocks me that some people can be so unappreciative of their parents and families, because i was raised to always value my family to the fullest.the unconditional love my parents have provided me can sometimes go unnoticed, and that makes me feel bad. i have an amazing support system and guidance through my parents, and, even if i get stressed out, i would never say i hate them. i challenge everyone to think before they post a status saying their parents are on their nerves. not every moment is going to be perfect with our parents, but try and remember that there is only one mother and one father that we are blessed with and we should be thankful for themeven in the moments of anger.59. what can we learn from the text?a. we should not blame divorced parents.b. divorced parents often treat their children strictly.c. parents should never get divorced.d. parents should communicate more with their children.60. when the authors parents got divorced, .a. she understood her parents well b. there were few divorced parentsc. her feelings were hurt seriouslyd. she was a little and innocent girl61. what does the third paragraph imply?a. the author is dissatisfied with her parents.b. the authors father dislikes staying with her.c. the author has a close relationship with her parents.d. the author likes her father more than her mother.62. the underlined part “are on their nerves” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”.a. make them frightenedb. make them annoyedc. make them happyd. make them feel relaxeddmary and susan were friends for years. they grew up together and attended the same schools. they were now both in their 40s, and both had great careers. but there was one main difference. mary never seemed to have enough time. over lunch, susan was telling mary about the golf game that she played last weekend.“susan, where do you find the time to play golf?” asked mary. “i never seem to have the time. with my children growing older and doing their own things i thought i would have time to play golf like we did when we were in college.” susan looked at mary and laughed, “mary, we both have the same hours in a day. you do have the time to play golf!” with a sigh mary replied, “thats easy for you to say. i never seem to have the time. i am in the office at 7:30 in the morning, and i leave at 6:30 in the evening. by the time i get home and have dinner, it is already 8:00! you know what it is like!”“of course, i know what it is like,” susan said. “i used to be like you. i worked night and day and on weekends. one day my boss came to my desk and passed me a card that had a quote on it which said, what i do today is important, because i will never have today again. then he left. i sat there stunned. suddenly i thought of what was important to me. while my work was important, i realized my children were more important. i also realized that time for me was important. it was 4:30, the official closing time of the office. i straightened my desk, felt a twinge of guilt (内疚) about leaving, but i forced myself to leave. i was home by 5:00. my children and husband were surprised. i had a wonderful evening.”mary took a drink of her tea and tearfully looked at her friend, “but i would never get my work done if i left at 4:30!” susan looked thoughtfully at her, “when you go to work next monday, make a list of everything you have to get done and beside that list write the impact of not doing it. then focus only on the top three items that have the most impact. like this, you will find that you will have more energy, and you will focus more attention on your work because you have balance!”mary smiled at her friend, “thanks for talking with me. we have been friends for so long. tha
