What can kites do for us? You might think they are just for fun, but kites can do a lot more.

Picture taking: In the1880s, when there were no airplanes, people used kites to take photos from the air. Those kites carried cameras. People also 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 machines 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(鱼钩) further away. You can also put it into the water slowly so it will not frighten the fish.

Advertising: Advertisements aren't just on TV. They can also be on kites! These kites usually carry the name of a product(产品) or a company. Advertising kites come in many shapes and bright colors. Some even look like the products!

One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"

The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "

If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "

"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”

We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢复) and are able to carry on.

So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.
