       What can kites do for us? You might think they are just for fun,but kites can do a lot more.        Picture taking： In the 1880s,when there were no airplanes,people used kites to take photos from the air. Those kites carried cameras. People on the ground lit the fuse (導(dǎo)火索) that was tied to the kite. That released the shutter ( 快打開門) . Once people used them in war. In this way,they got to know more about their enemies.

       Science studies： In the early 1900s,scientists from the United States put science instruments into kites. They used them to learn about the weather.

       Life saving： Once some lifeboats on ships from the United States had kites on them. They could send radio messages from the kites. This made it much easier to find people lost at sea.

       Fishing： In Asia,people have been using kites for fishing for hundreds of years. Fishing with a kite is far better than you might think. Using a kite,you can place the hook (魚釣) further away. You can also put it into the water slowly so it will not scare (驚嚇) the fish.

       Advertising： Advertisements aren’1 just on TV. They can also be on kites!These kites usually carry the name of a product or a company. Advertising kites come in many shapes and bright colours. Some even look like the products!

       America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real,yet disappear soon. They don ’ t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again ? even years later ? they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings,extending (延伸) deeply into both families.

      There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives ? they don ’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China,we are usually generous with our time. We,as hosts,will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends. However ? it is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors to phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes,the welcome will be full,warm and real.

      For Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants ? except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes,share their holidays,and their home life. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America!

   B. Americans don ’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.
