　　Man has always wanted to fly. Even as long as eight hundred years ago, an Englishman had tried. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers and fixed them to his head. Then he jumped from a tall building. As you can imagine, he did not fly very far. Instead he fell to the ground and broke several bones.

　　The first real attempt (尝试) at flying took place in France in 1783. The two Mentgolifier brothers knew that hot air rises. If they could fill a large balloon with hot air, they thought it would rise into the air and fly. They were right. They made a very large hot air balloon of cloth and paper. It measured ten metres in diametre (直径). They filled it with hot air and the balloon rose two hundred metres into the air. It fell to earth about three kilometres away. At the next attempt, they arranged (安排) for the balloon to carry passengers. We do not know what the passengers felt about the trip as they were a cock, a duck, and a sheep. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and the animals landed safely.
