Question

【题目】

One day, a father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. When they arrived, there were already many adults and their children playing in the park. When the son saw the sky filled with colorful kites in different shapes, he was excited and wanted to get one, too.【1】. So they went to a kite shop and chose a beautiful one. With the string (线）in hand, the son started flying the kite. Soon, the kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the string is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, the kite will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?” 【2】. Suddenly, the kite began to fly higher, which made the son much happier. However, to his surprise, the kite was coming down. They waited for quite some time. Slowly, it fell onto the grass. 【3】, “I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?” The father smiled and said, “The role of the string was not stopping the kite from flying higher, but helping it stay in the sky. Because the kite itself can’t fly up. By using the string you help the kite go up in the right direction. 【4】.” In our life, we may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing.
