Question

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Matt and Allie were waiting in the line to sign up (报名) for the High Flyer Competition.They carried their design and they couldn’t wait to start building the kite.The line was long and filled with kids of all ages.Two teenagers stood in front of them. Matt ooked at their designs and his eyes widened. “Their kites are a lot better than ours. Look! This kite looks like an airplane,and that one looks like a spaceship, but our kite is a boring diamond (菱形)!”

“What if we give it a cool-looking tail?” Allie suggested. They cheered up a little and worked together on their kite all the weekend. To make the kite look better, they added a tail with beads (珠子) and tiny mirrors.

On the day of the composition, Allie and Matt carried their kite to the starting place between the spaceship and the airplane.The rules were simple.The kite that flew the highest for the longest time won.

Round One began. Allie held the string (线) while Matt ran down the field with the kite. He lifted it in the air. The kite shook and fell to the ground. Round One was over for them.

Matt ran back to Allie. “It’s the tail. The beads and mirrors are weighing it down.” “But they’re so pretty,”

Allie said. “Do you want pretty or do you want to win?” Matt asked. Allie nodded. Matt pulled off the beads and mirrors. He finished just in time for the start of Round Two. As he ran with the kite, he could feel the wind picking it up. He let it go and ran back to help Allie. They let out the string as far as it would go, right past the spaceship and the airplane. Their kite flew the highest for the longest time.

“I guess looks don’t mean a thing in kite flying,” Allie said.

“Yeah.” Matt said,“Simple is best.”
