阅读表达（西刘桥） I 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（不确定的）pleasure of watching it. But what if you could fly up there with the kite? （3） Now some young people are doing an exciting new sport called “kite surfing（冲浪）”.??? Imagine（想象）yourself tied to a giant kite. You let it out, and then pull the line tight. But you don’t have to hold the kite in place with your body weight. （4）The kite lifts you off the ground and into the air. Kite surfers usually launch（起飞）themselves over water, while standing on a small surfboard. The kite pulls the surfer across the water at surprising speed and s sudden strong wind can send him flying up into the air.It’s not a new idea to pull things with kites. Fishermen in India used kites to pull their boats over 700 years ago. In the 1800s, an Englishman showed a way of using kites to pull carts（手推车）over land at high speed. But kite surfing is different not only because it’s just done for fun, but because it’s so dangerous. After all, there’s nobody holding the line. Kite flyers may fly too high or land quickly.?? If the wind picks up suddenly, things can get a little hairy（危险的）. “ Sometimes the wind is so strong that nobody can do this dangerous sport.” Says Dave Milken, a kite surfing instructor. Think twice if you want to try the new sport.1. How long did fishermen in India use kites to pull their boats ?______________________________________________。2.
