As a teenager, Lee Ya-Ching was China’s most famous silent film actress. 1.But her greatest achievement was that she was China’s first woman pilot. Lee Ya-Ching was born in China in 1912. As an only child who lost her mother at a young age, Ya-Ching was raised by her father and grandmother. 2.在她父亲的帮助下, 她学会了许多技能。Ya-Ching went to English schools in Hong Kong and Shanghai and at the age of 16 she was sent to London to study. 3. Then she went to Switzerland and she decided to learn to fly there. She got her pilot’s license at the age of 21.
Seeing a need to train new pilots, Ya-Ching and some other pilots opened a flying school in Shanghai in 1936. 4. When the war between China and Japan started in 1937, she volunteered to be a pilot in the army. But she was refused. So she helped her country by setting up hospitals. Then she bought a plane and flew all over the United States, Canada and South America. She raised money to help Chinese people by flying.
Not much is known of Ya-Ching’s life after the war. 5. 她回到香港并在那里待了很长一段时间。In the 1960s, she returned to California, where she died at the age of 86.

24、Kites have a long history. They may date back(追溯到) long time ago. They were made of bamboo and silk in China. Nobody knows exactly how or when a kite was first flown, but it is said that when a Chinese farmer tied a string(绳子) to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born.
Children like playing with kites. Kites for work or play are made of wood, bamboo, paper, or silk. In 478 B.C., a Chinese philosopher(思想家), Mo Zi, spent three years making a kite out of light wood and bamboo. The earliest record of kite flying was in about 200 B.C. when the Chinese General(将军) Han Xin of Han Dynasty flew a kite over the walls of a city. He wanted to know how far his army would have to travel.
In the 13th century, Marco Polo wrote about how the shipping businessmen flew the huge kite in the wind before the ship set sail. They predicted the voyage(航海) in this way. If the kite went high and straight it meant a quick and successful voyage, but if it did not fly well, it was a bad omen(预兆). In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by the Italians. Kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book in 1589.

A. kites were used for sailing
