| In 1608 an Englishman named Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country and wrote down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found the most interesting. In his diary Thomas wrote, "When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They do not eat with their hands, because people do not always have clean hands." Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks. At home Thomas had a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the steak (牛排) was brought out, he took out a fork and began to eat as they did in Italy. Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what the fork was, they all wanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people because the fork was not easy to use at all. Thomas Coryate tried to prove (证明) that his friends were wrong. He said it was not nice to eat meat with one"s fingers because they were not always clean. Everybody got angry at that. Did Mr. Coryate think that people in England always had dirty hands? And weren"t the ten fingers we had enough for us? Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away. People in England began to use forks only fifty years later. | |||

| Nobody knows when or where kite flying began, but there are some stories about the history of kites. Early kites may have been simple flat shapes such as leaves. Later, kite designs improved as people discovered how to put lightweight coverings over frames. Silk and paper are lightweight materials that were invented in China. China is the earliest known center of kite making. Chinese kites date back (追溯) at least 2,000 years. The first Chinese kites may have been used by armies, perhaps as signals. As time passed, kites took on other uses. They were flown during special ceremonies and for sport. Then there were kite-flying holidays, such as the one held on the ninth day of the ninth month. According to legend (传说), that was the day a family went kite-flying on a hilltop. Returning to their house, they saw that it had collapsed (倒塌). Kite-flying had saved their lives! After a while, travelers and traders spread kite-flying from China to Japan. Before long, Japanese kite- flying took on a new purpose. Kites flew to celebrate happy things and good luck. Soon, kite-flying reached many other Asian countries. In each land, kites were designed for ceremonies and sport. Later, knowledge of kites traveled west, to northern Africa, to Europe, and finally to America. There may have been early kite inventors in these lands, but their creations did not spread as widely as the kites of Asia. | |||
