32.I'd always thought that kite flying might be more fun for the kite than for the person holding the line.After all,the kite gets to fly around high above the earth,while the kite flyer has the dubious (不 確 定 的) p(1)
of watching it.But what if you could fly up there with the kite?Now some young people are doing an exciting new sport called "kite surfing". Imagine yourself tied to a giant kite.You let it out,and then pull the line t(2)
.But you don't have to hold the kite in place with your body weight.The kite lifts you off the ground and into the air.Kite surfers u(3)

speed and a sudden strong wind can send him flying up into the air. It's not a new idea to pull things with kites.Fishermen in I(5)
used kites to pull their boats over 700 years ago.In the 1800s,an Englishman showed a way of using kites to pull carts (手推車) over land at high speed.But kite surfing is different not only because it's just done for fun,but because it's so d(6)

33.Have you ever thought of creating a world inside light bulbs?An artist,Adrian Limani,had a really bright idea-creating his own miniature (微型作品) world and he's capturing it inside light bulbs. Adrian Limani has produced a series of creative photographs which he believes give the same effect as ships in a bottle. Tine 21-year-old has even put the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in an image of two light bulbs,while another image shows two birds scrapping (打斗) in mid-air in a bulb. "I just took some shots of light bulbs,without any effects,just straight shots with the camera," said Adrian,explaining how he was inspired to create these images. "Then I suddenly discovered that I really liked that kind of form.I will continue with the bulb ideas because I like creating special pictures." To make a really great image,however,is not easy. "Because you need to have a lot of ideas,a lot of imagination and it's better to be a unique style of work that you share," Adrian added.The artist said his ideas or inspiration usually came from music movies,books and his everyday life. To create the images Adrian uses two or three photographs."When I have free time I go out and take a lot of shots,in different places and from different views,so that I'll have more materials to make something really good," he said.After making each combination (融合),he would do two or three different versions of colors and then choose the best one. A self-taught photographer,the young man said his passion for photography started with browsing wonderful photographs on the Internet.He began to do serious photography when he was 17 and "it was a great feeling". "People say to me, 'Just continue what you've started because you do great work',and I really try to do my best," said Adrian.
