Passage 14 Man always wanted to fly. For hundreds of years they watched birds flying and wished that they could fly too. Birds fly very easily. They beat (打) the air with their wings (翅膀) and climb up through the air. The air keeps them up.
Man knew how to make kites hundreds of years ago. Kites could stay in the air for many hours. “If birds and kites can stay up in the air, perhaps we can,” they thought.
At first they made wings like birds. Then they jumped off high buildings and tried to fly. Many men did this but they failed to fly. Can you guess which way? They tried balloons (气球). “Hot air is lighter than cold air,” they said. “That is why hot air goes upwards. If we fill a balloon with hot air, it will go upwards.”
It was time for man to fly. In October 1783 another of the brothers’ balloons went up. This time a man went with it. The balloon did not rise very far. It went only to twenty-five metres. It was tied to the ground by a rope(绳子)A month later two men went up in a balloon full of hot air. This time there was no rope. A great group of people watched. The balloon rose to the height(高)of 900 metres. Then it came slowly back to earth. Men had traveled through the air for the first time
Later, airships were made and they were filled with a gas (气体) called hydrogen. But the hydrogen gas was dangerous. It caught fire very easily. At last they stopped making airships.
Passage 15 From the world’s heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world’s smallest dog, these are all parts of a group of the world’s strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records (《吉尼斯记录》).
The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it’s always one of the best selling books in the world.
People now can break over 100 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? “It gives people a chance to show they’re the best in the world.” said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.
The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world’s truly greatest people and things in it!
The newest book came out last Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:
☆A British dog, Whitney, is the world’s smallest dog. It’s only 76 mm tall.
☆An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails (指甲). They grew as long as 600 mm! She made the record in 1971.
