During the summer, in the months of March and April, the skies 3 cities, towns and villages throughout the Kingdom are 4 with kites of all descriptions — long-tailed dragons, twisting snakes, beautiful butterflies, or familiar cartoon characters wheeling and weaving in the warm air.
One afternoon, a friend and long-time kite flier invited me to 5 him at the Pramane Ground. “What’s the attraction?” I asked as he flew a huge kite. “Well, you can feel a bit of a 6 at first,” he replied, “a grown man standing there holding the end of a string and 7 up into the sky. But once you forget yourself, you get caught up in the 8 of controlling something in the air where you cannot follow. You’re on the ground: the kite’s in the air but it’s you that are making it all 9 . Go on, go fly a kite.”
I took his advice in the 10 it was meant and, holding the hand of my young daughter so that others would think I was only satisfying a child’s 11 , I bought a rainbow-coloured snake. After a few failed runs we got the kite into the air 12 greater ease than I expected. It was only my daughter’s crying, “My go, my go” that I realized I’d been holding the string, completely 13 what I was discovering was a very pleasing pastime.
Like many other 14 of popular culture, the sport of kite flying in Thailand has been 15 down from generation to generation. Its origins(起源)are rooted probably in ancient China, although it seems likely that Thai kites are as old as the Kingdom itself. It was a craze enjoyed by everyone from the king down.
“It’s a great tradition(传统), that has the effect of bringing generations together.” says my friend. “What you see today at the King’s Cup is the same as the people of the past would have seen more than two hundred years ago.”

When we hear the word “pyramid” there is little doubt that Egypt(埃及)and the desert come to mind. Did you know, however, that continents and oceans away — in what is today Central America and Mexico — people also built pyramids? While they look somewhat different from the ones we see in Egypt, they also were built with great skill.
The pyramids of Central America were built by the Mayan(玛雅)and Aztec(阿芝台克)peoples, as well as other smaller groups. Both Mayan and Aztec cultures built pyramids for their gods. They thought that building higher pyramids would allow them to get close to heaven. These cultures believed that the gods were found in nature. One of the most important gods was the sun. Many of the pyramids were for their sun god. At the top of the pyramids they built temples to make the gods happier. However, pyramids were not used only for their gods.
