22、Kites were once called zhiyuan in North China and yaozi in South China. The name fengzheng came into use during the Five Dynasties. According to a history book, Li Ye, who lived in the Five Dynasties, used to make and fly kites. He once tied a whistle(哨子)made of bamboo to the upper part of his kite so that a zheng sound was made when he was flying the kite. The word for wind is feng, so fengzheng came into use.
How was kite invented? There are so many different opinions that it is difficult to decide which one is right. But it is widely believed that the earliest kite in the world was made by Mo Di, a famous Chinese philosopher(哲学家)who lived about 2,400 years ago. He spent three years making a bird with wood and successfully flew it. The bird was later regarded as the first kite in the world. Later, he passed on his kite making skills to his student Lu Ban. Lu Ban improved on kite making. He made a kite out of bamboo and it flew into the air for as long as three days. Kite-flying became a kind of recreation(娱乐活动)probably in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, only the royal family and people of the highest class flew kites. Later the paper-made kite was invented. Paper-made kites were cheaper to make and then spread quickly among the common people.
As time went on, kites flew to different countries in the world. The well-known British scientist, Dr. Needham, once described kites as an important invention that spread to Europe from China in his book. A foreign kite specialist(专家)said, “The invention of the kite encouraged humans’ dream to fly and led to the invention of the plane.”

A.by Lu Ban
B.in three days
C.for the royal family
D.about 2,400 years ago
【3】Why was kite-flying not popular among the common people at first in the Tang Dynasty?
A.Because it was difficult to make kites.
B.Because they were too busy to fly kites.
C.Because it was expensive to make kites.
D.Because they were not allowed to fly kites.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Ideas about the earliest kites.

23、Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases (行李箱). Earlier that evening, I’d received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car accident. “Come as soon as you can.” cried my mother.
I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went through my head again and again.
Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there’s anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.
“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said.
I asked him to repeat.
“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral (葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”
I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.
When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.
Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there's anything I can do ...” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man’s need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that one?” I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”

A.The writer’s house was in a mess.
B.The writer’s mother was very sad about her son's death.
C.The writer heard the sad news from her mom and had no idea of what to do.

A.she couldn’t do it on her own
B.she was too sad to do anything
C.she wanted to take everything to Seattle
D.she was not good at doing housework
【3】__________ before the writer washed the clothes.
A.Emerson came to clean the shoes
B.The couple bathed the children
C.They cleared the supper dishes
D.The writer found the shoes cleaned

A.Call her friend to ask what she can do.
B.Look after her friend’s young children.
C.Take her friend’s dog to the boarding kennel.
D.Offer her friend house-sitting during the funeral.
【5】Which sentence best expresses the theme(主题) of this story?
