The Chinese kite is a symbol of the Chinese handicraft （手工艺品）． Flying a kite is a very popular activity in China． In spring， large numbers of people gather in the squares or parks and fly beautiful kites there．
A philosopher （哲学家） called Mozi was said to be the inventor of the Chinese kite． His invention had the bird's name of "Yuan"， a kind of bird of the hawk （鹰） family with a long tail． He made the kite out of wood． Later， his student Lu Ban improved it and made the kite out of bam boo．
With the development of papermaking， paper was introduced into the kite﹣ making． The kite got the name "Zhi Yuan"， as "Zhi" in Chinese means paper． And during the Five Dynasties period， people tied the bamboo whistle （哨子） to the kite． When the kite was flying， the airflow （气流）
could make the whistle sound like Guzheng playing． So the kite carried the name "Fengzheng"．
From then on， making and playing the kite became very popular in Weifang， Shandong Province． Every year in spring， when the weather became warm， almost every family went out to fly the kite and have a picnic on sunny and windy days． It was an exciting folk activity and a good time to display various beautiful kites． At the same time， they also enjoyed the warm weather and fresh air． The tradition has been well kept until today and has become the world﹣ famous Weifang International Kite Festival， which is held from 20th to 25th in April every year．

On April 26， 2017， a big Chinese ship caught the eyes of the whole world． China's first homemade aircraft carrier（航空母舰）hit the water in Dalian， Liaoning．

Classic books never go out of fashion． The Outsider first came out in 1967． But even though the book is old， it is still worth reading． The book is written by US writer S．E． Hinton．
The book tells the story of a 14﹣year﹣old boy called Ponyboy Curtis． He struggles with（挣扎于） right and wrong in a society where he believes he is an outsider． The story took place in Oklahoma， US， in 1965．
In the book， the children are divided into two groups． One includes Curtis and Greasers， which are mostly made up of poor kids． They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age． The other group is called the Socs， which is made up of rich children． They wear expensive clothes and drive high﹣tech cars．Those two groups do not get along well． The book only shows us two weeks of the boy's life．But unexpected things happen and change the boy's life forever． I was touched by the friendship among the boys．When any of them had a problem． the others would help．Although they are not well﹣educated （受过良好教育的）， they are kind and brave． For example， when Johnny was hurt and in hospital， his friends visited him almost every day． They brought him food and told him interesting stories．I always dreamed of having kind and strong friendships like this．
