七、 阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

• 9．The kite is a symbol of Chinese handicraft（手工艺）.（1）放风筝是中国最受欢迎的活动之一。 And kite-flying is now believed to be good for health.In spring，a large number of people gather in the squares or parks to fly beautiful kites.
     （2）风筝在中国已经有2，000多年了。 Mo Zi spent three years building a wooden kite but it failed after flying for one day.Then people made the kite with thin wood and bamboo.And it had the bird's name of "Yuan".After the Han dynasty，paper was introduced into the kite-making.So the kite got the name "Zhiyuan"，as "Zhi" in Chinese means paper.When the wind came，those kites sounded like guzheng.（3）That was why we named it "Fengzheng".
     From then on，making and playing the kite became very popular in Weifang，Shandong Province.Every year in spring，when the weather becomes warm，almost every family goes out to fly the kite and has a picnic.（4）It is also very good to show beautiful kites on sunny and windy days. The tradition has been well kept until today and has become the world-famous Weifang International Kite Festival.It is from 20^th to 25^th in April every year.Weifang is also known as the capital of kites.Have you ever been there？（5）Watching the kites flying is just as enjoyable as flying the kites itself.
     If you are interested in flying a kite，choose a sunny and windy day to enjoy the open air with your family.
