1、阅读下面的短文，然后将划线部分的句子译成汉语或英语。

Have you ever thought of such a question like “Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an engineer. Should I give history up?”

Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it’s not necessary for you to understand everything. 1. But school learning is more than just getting knowledge.

2. 首先，努力找到你对什么感兴趣。At school, you study many subjects.You need to know what you like and what you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future.

Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. 3. 但是来自数学的能力能帮助你在将来解决许多问题。So you should practice your brain by thinking more.

Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn English at school, but you don't speak English at all. 4. But learning English can show that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go abroad one day and want to find a job there, how can you make it if you’re not confident in expressing yourself in language learning?

Try to challenge new things as much as possible. 5. 你越多地挑战自我，你将越好地了解自我。

27、No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2, 000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel（隊道）into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length（长度）of its string（线）. In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.

Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.

Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In l752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau（气象局）used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented（试验）with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.
