3 . The custom of flying a piece of cloth high in the sky began more than 2,000 years ago in China. Since then, kites have been served in many fields, like doing scientific experiments, powering boats, taking pictures from the air and much more. In fact, kite-flying is a great way to clear the mind.

When Americans Kay and Larry Day found a store selling kites nearly 20 years ago, they decided to buy a few kites for their family. For fun, Larry bought one for himself. “He went out and flew it and decided he needed to go back and get a better one,” Kay remembered. Since then, she and her husband have loved kite-flying. They own many kites and plan trips around flying them. They also organize a kite-flying event each winter in their hometown in Iowa. “I’m at peace when I’m flying a kite,” said Larry.

Nic O’Neill, president of the American Kite-fliers Association said that kite-flying can be done alone or with friends and family. Kites appeal (有吸引力) to people who like to create works of art or to those who like to combine kite-flying with music. O’Neill said, “Part of the reason I love flying kites is that I have to risk trying and not succeeding. The best way to learn is to go out, undo the string (细绳) and let your kite fly. The perfect condition includes a nice steady wind and a place away from trees and buildings.”

Grant Lovett began flying simple kites as a child, but moved on to costlier and more complex kites as an adult. Today, Lovett likes making his own kites. He builds them from strong, lightweight materials and products designed for sailboats. Lovett attends kite-making classes and looks for new models on the Internet. He makes kites of different shapes and sizes because flying conditions can be greatly different. He also notes that experience makes a difference, and so does the weather and he likes the happy feelings that he experiences when his kite moves through the sky. “It is really calming,” he said.

1. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A．Kites have been used widely.

B．Kites have developed gradually.

C．Kites have been designed differently.

D．Kites have lost their popularity.

2. How does kite-flying make Larry feel?

A．Excited.

B．Hopeful.

C．Peaceful.

D．Amazed.

3. What do O’Neill and Grant Lovett consider in kite-flying?

A．The flying experiences.

B．The flying conditions.

C．The skills of making kites.

D．The materials for making kites.

4. What is the best title of the text?

A．Kite-Flying Is Fit for All Ages.

B．Kite-Flying Gets More Popular.

C．Kite-Flying Is a Traditional Sport.

D．Kite-Flying Gives a Lift to People.

4 . It won’t be wrong to say that the hotel industry is one of the most competitive fields, and to survive in the hotel business, restaurateurs (餐馆老板) need to have certain unique strategies. To be more specific, to excel(突出)in the business, hotel owners need to follow a few things like, keeping a few secrets from customers, telling them half the truth, and at times even lying and pretending about certain things.

Calories in a dish

In the first place, the calorie count of a particular dish is seldom mentioned on the menu, and when it’s mentioned, most times it is inaccurate. Also, the waiters are not allowed to say anything about the calories in a dish and they either lie about it or just say, “All the information about it is available online.”

Extra sugar in your kids’ meals

You may wonder why your kid wants to go to the same restaurant every time, where he once had a particular pizza. Many restaurants often apply the trick of adding extra sugar to the kids’ meals so that they love it more and insist on going to the same place again and again.

“Homemade” salad is actually ready-made

Salads often labeled as “homemade” on the menu are not homemade. Some restaurants purchase salad dressings(沙拉酱) in large quantities and then add a few ingredients like fresh herbs, blue cheese, etc., and serve them as the homemade salad.

A last tip before you go, make sure that you never ask your waiter for recommendations from the menu. Waiters will never criticize anything that they serve, and in fact, may often do the opposite. At times, they may even recommend dishes that are expensive, or dishes that are not selling well.

These are some of the things that waiters will not share with you when you go to a restaurant. While most of these should not matter, you should never go to a restaurant that does not take cleanliness and hygiene(卫生) strictly.

1. According to the passage, the calorie count of a dish on the menu________.

A．is not correct	B．is the exact fact
C．is healthy for customers	D．can also be found online

2. How do restaurants make ready-made salads look like homemade salads?

A．They make them look clean.	B．They add fresh salad dressings.
C．They make salad dressings delicious.	D．They add fresh herbs, blue cheese, etc.

3. If a waiter recommends a dish to you, ________.

A．you can accept it gladly	B．it means you will get a discount
C．you should think about it carefully	D．it means the dish isn’t selling well

4. The author writes the passage mainly to ________.

A．tell us how to choose the right restaurants

B．show us some of the secrets of restaurants

C．advise us to eat less in restaurants

D．tell us how restaurants survive
