Exercise 5: Read the passage, and then choose the best answer A, B or C.
For many centuries, humans have wanted to fly just like birds.
Around 350 BC, people in China began to make kites using bamboo frames covered in paper and silk. Discovering kites could fly in the air got humans thinking about the possibility of flying. Kites were vital in the invention of flight as they led the way for balloons and gliders.
The famous inventor Leonardo da Vinci produced the first real studies of flight in the 1480s. He was fascinated by birds in flight and closely observed how their bodies worked while flying, producing over 100 drawings that illustrated his theories on flight.
The first hot air balloon was designed by brothers Joseph Michel and Jacques Etienne Montgolfier in the 1780s. They used the smoke from a fire to blow hot air into a silk bag, which was attached to a basket. The hot air then rose and allowed the balloon to float. In 1783, their first passengers were a sheep, a rooster and a duck. The brothers had their first manned flight on November 21, 1783, with two passengers.
The Wright Brothers first tested their ideas of flight with a kite. They learned about how the wind would help with the flight. Time and dedication were key! The brothers spent three years testing and learning. On December 17, 1903, the 'Flyer' travelled 120 feet in 12 seconds with Orville as the pilot, but it was unstable and difficult to control. The Wright brothers spent two more years perfecting their design. On 5 October 1905, Wilbur piloted the Flyer III for 39 minutes and about 24 miles of circles!
Humans were now able to fly!
