Go fly a kite
Learning how to fly a kite is simple and flying kites can be a fun form of exercise.
Of course, the first thing you need is a kite and a ball of string (线). 1. Then wait for a windy day.
When the perfect day arrives, find an open space, such as field. 2.
Before flying your kite, find out which way the wind is blowing. 3. To begin flying your kite, stand with your back to the wind and hold the kite up so the wind can catch it. If the day is not very windy, you may need to get your kite started by running.
4. At the same time, walk backwards a few steps to keep the string tight. Now that your kite is up in the air, you can decide how long to fly it and how high you want it to go.
5. Slowly wind up (卷起) the string. Try not to pull your kite in too fast or it may crash (坠落).
Flying kite is a great way to spend a windy afternoon. If you follow these steps carefully, you will have something more fun to do than sitting inside and watching TV. So on the next windy day, get up off the sofa. Go fly a kite!
A. You can do this by throwing grass into the air.
B. Finally, you will need to bring your kite down.
C. You can buy your kite and string at a toy shop.
D. Follow the instructions to put your kite together.
E. Nothing beats seeing a kite sail high into the clouds.
F. Don’t fly your kite near trees because it can get caught.
G. Once the wind catches your kite, let out more string so it can climb higher.
It has been described as art by some people, but to others it’s an ugly part of modern life. What is it? Graffiti (涂鸦), of course. Look around cities in the UK today and you can see graffiti on buildings, walls, doors and even on buses or trains that have stayed in one place for too long. But where modern technology creates a problem, it also finds a way to deal with it. Last week, The Weekend West was shown around the factory of a small but successful company, Hubdean.
Hubdean’s achievement is a series of special paints which are graffiti-resistant. How do they work? It couldn’t be simpler. Take any graffiti-covered surface. First, a treatment called Agproclear is used. Then, using a very hot pressure jet (压力喷嘴), this treatment is taken away and the graffiti disappears at the same time. Now you have a clean wall. But before this clean wall can be painted on by graffiti lovers, a new product, Agproshield, is used. This paint has a special surface which gives it two important advantages. Firstly, spray paint (喷雾颜料) won’t stick to the surface very well, and secondly, the whole surface can be cleaned very easily, just using water. Once the surface is painted, no specialist equipment is needed to keep the area clean and graffiti-free.
Not surprisingly, Hubdean’s products are used by both local governments and private companies all over the UK, and now orders are being received from around the world. This brings the company a problem, however. Can they increase production to satisfy the needs? Of course, they can build a second factory or work with a large international company to make their products. The future is looking good for Hubdean!
1.What does the underlined word “graffiti-resistant” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Painting graffiti. B.Keeping graffiti.
C.Preventing graffiti. D.Changing graffiti.
2.When should Agproshield be used?
A.Before Agproclear is used.
B.When the wall is still clean.
C.When Agproclear doesn’t work.
D.After graffiti is painted on the wall.
3.What can we learn about Hubdean?
A.There is a good market for its products.
B.A large company is going to buy its products.
C.It is developing more new and better products.
D.Most of its business comes from private companies.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Is Hubdean successful? B.Is graffiti art? Of course not!
C.Hubdean a high-tech company? D.Graffiti a problem? Just wash it off!
