IV. Read the following passage. Decide if the statements from 23 to 26 are True or False. Choose the correct answer for questions 27 and 28. (1.5 pts)

People have been making and flying kites for about 2,000 years. Some Italians believe the ancient Chinese may have started kite flying 2000 years ago. It is still a popular hobby in China, Japan and Korea and in other countries of the Far East where beautifully decorated kites appear in different colors. In China, there is even a special Kites Day on which children and adults fly kites.
Simple kites are made by crossing two sticks and covering them with paper or cloth. Then you attach a string at the end. More expensive kites have frames made of fibreglass, plastic or aluminium. The name comes from a graceful bird called kite.
Kites are made in many different sizes, colors and shapes. A flat kite is the oldest and simplest type of kite. It flies because air flows over and under the kite’s wing. The pressure under the wing helps the kite lift into the air.
Kites have also been used in experiments. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that lightning was a form of electricity. He attached a metal key to the string of a kite. When lightning hit the kite, electricity passed down the string and Franklin got an electric shock.
Kites were also used to develop airplanes. The Wright Brother experimented with kites before they flew the first aeroplane. In the past, kites were used to take pictures in wars. In World War I the Germans developed a large kite that could transport people to a submarine.
Today most people fly kite as a hobby. Kite festivals are organized in many cities in all parts of the world.
