26、said Larry. Kite-flying has a long history as an activity for adults and children. The custom of flying a piece of cloth high in the sky began more than 2,000 years ago in China. Since then, kites have been used to do scientific experiments, power boats, take pictures from the air and much more. “So

27、metimes, the best flying conditions happen in winter on a frozen lake,” said Kay Day, who with her husband organizes the Color the Wind KiteFestival. It takes place every February on Clear Lake in Iowa. “The festival adds color to the winter sky and gives people a reason to go outside,” she added. T

28、he Days invite expert fliers to come and share their love for kites with locals and visitors.

33、t also electronics. Electronics get you addicted not because of drugs like nicotine but because of something called dopamine(多巴胺). Dopamine is a chemical naturally produced in the body that helps control the brains reward and pleasure centers. It is released when you win something. You not only get

34、dopamine from winning sports like football or tennis, but also get a small amount of dopamine when you hear a notification from your device, win something in a video game or even simply surf the web on your smartphone. Your body loves the feel of dopamine and tries to find more ways to get it with l

35、ess effort, which can lead to addiction to electronics. We become addicted to various electronics. But among all of them, phones may not do too much harm to us physically.

42、ther so-called cryptocurrencies(加密货币) have been all over the news lately. Apparently, the idea of money thats not tied to a specific bank or a specific country is appealing to many. And more and more people show their interest in these cryptocurrencies. In the past, moneys makeup varied from place t

43、o place. Various objects have served as currency, including beads, ivory, and shells. In West Africa, bracelets (手镯) of bronze or copper considered to have great worth were used as cash, especially if the business was associated with the slave trade there. Throughout the colonial period when tobacco

44、 was planted greatly and brought big economic benefits, it was used in place of coins or paper bills in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. Today, on Malaita, an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still serves as currency and some people there are even hoarding it, just like Bitcoin,

45、 convinced that one day, it will make them wealthy beyond imagination. Mary Bruno, a shop owner from the small town of Auki, on Malaita said, “one of darker shells might get you about two cans of tuna(金枪鱼), but one of red shells might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time”. Just like

46、a place that creates coins, theres only one place on the island where the shells, which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made.

47、go. Once trapped on these islands, locals needed a currency to use among themselves, and so the shell currency was born. Just like cryptocurrencies, there are those who think the islanders are smart to invest in this type of money, which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades

48、. It might seem strange, but what is a pile of dollars? Its just a specially printed piece of paper that weve assigned value to-and probably less durable (耐用) over time than those shells.47.

49、. C. Banks control over currency. D. An effect of cryptocurrencies.48. The underlined word “hoarding” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _. A. selling B. polishing C. collecting D. hiding 49.
