That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States.Some people go in diet. This means they eat less of certain foods, especiallyfats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight . In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. “The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2. 3 trillion (兆) pounds, ” says Univ ersity of Massachusctts anthropologist (人类学家) George Armelagos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written.

Historical records say they were large in size; some were powerful enough to carry men up in the air to observe enemy movements, and others were used to scatter some information over hostile forces.During the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) , people began to fix on kites some bamboo (竹子) strips which, when high in the air, would ring in the wind like a zheng (a traditional Chinese musical instrument) . Since then, the popular Chinese name for the kite has become fengzheng. The kites made today in some places are fixed with silk strings or rubber bands to give out pleasant ringing in the wind.It was also believed, for instance, during the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) , that flying a kite and then letting it go , apart from the pleasure in itself, might send off one’s bad luck and illness. Consequently it would bring him bad luch if one should pick up a kite lost by other people, This may be regarded as superstition(迷信) but may not be altogether without reason: think of the good it will do to a person, ill and depressed all the time, if he or she could go out into the fields and fresh air to fly a kite.Chinese kites fall into two major types: those with wings that can be taken apart and those with wings that are fixed. The former can be taken apart and packed in boxcs. Easy to carry about, they make good presents. The second type refers to those with fixed structure; they fly better and higher, given a steady wind, Classified by designs and other standards, there are no less than 300 varieties, including human figures, fish , insects, birds, animals and written Chinese characters. In size, they range from 304 meters to only 30 centimeters across.41. What is the use of silk strings or rubber bands fixed to the kites?下载文档。
