Five people who flew kites and changed history
l Benjamin Franklin
In June, 1752, Benjamin Franklin began using kites to study the atmosphere. He flew a kite in the storm and 47 that lightning is electricity.
l Homan Walsh
Do you know Niagara Fall(尼亚加拉大瀑布)? In 1847, people decided to build a bridge over the great gorge (峡谷), but they didn’t know how to get the very first line across the gorge. They finally had 48 . If someone could fly a kite across the gorge, they would have that line. A lot of people tried, but only 10-year-old Homan Walsh succeeded.
l Alexander Graham Bell
In the early years of the twentieth century, Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, built huge man-carrying kites.
l Wright Brothers
Wilbur and Orville Wright invented the first airplane in 1903. They were also skilled in kite-flying and riding. Their years of kite-flying 49 led to the invention of the airplane.

A) medium B) watch C) attracted D) expected E) fields
Right kite-flying conditions
Because we can’t control the wind, we learn to 50 for the right kite flying conditions.
Wind that is too strong or too light is difficult to fly in. A flag or windsock (风向袋) can help you see the wind. The wind that is at the speed of about 5－25 mph is best for most kites.
Kite-flying is most fun when the wind is 51 . You can do more than just hold on. You can make your kite dance across the sky by pulling in and letting out the line.
The flying space should be a clear and open area. Stay away from roads, power lines or airports. Open 52 , parks and beaches are great for flying kites. The more room you have, the more line you can let out.
Remember that as the wind goes over and around trees and buildings, it gets bumpy and difficult to fly kites in. Watch out for kite eating trees!
Never fly in rain or lightning. Electricity in the clouds is 53 to wet kite lines and foolish kite fliers.
