       Kite surfing as a water sport began in the 1980s, but didn't get popular until the end of last century. It
  is also known as kite boarding, and in some European countries as fly surfing. Kite surfing works through
  wind power (動力) by using a large kite to pull a rider on the water at high speed.
       At first, kitesurfing was a difficult and dangerous sport. Now it is becoming easier and safer because
  of the safer kite design. For an able and strong person, kitesurfing can be a very fun, extremely exciting
  sport, just like skating on the water with a feeling of flying. It has become more and more popular.

  operate the kite with 5-10 hours of training. And anybody aged from 13 to 65 can learn. It is not
  expensive to get the equipment for kitesurfing, which costs $1,000 to $2,500. Training lessons range from

　　Many scientists think that the earth is getting warmer and warmer．If the change continues, the natural world and human society will face danger．Scientists believe human activity is responsible for the climate change．We produce too many greenhouse gases．They keep heat in the air and make the earth warm．

　　Many of the world's governments agree．And they want to solve the problem．So from December 7 to 18, 2009, they held a conference in Copenhagen, Denmark to talk about global warming and climate change．

　　Representatives(代表)from 192 countries and regions went to the meeting．Although they have not reached an agreement, the Copenhagen Accord(《哥本哈根協(xié)議》)was an important beginning to save the earth．It was made by a small group of countries including China, the US, India, Brazil and South Africa．Some other countries at the conference also showed support．

　　What are the key points of the Copenhagen Accord?The accord limits global temperature increases to 20C by 2050 compared to pre-1850．Scientists think it could help the world to avoid serious climate change．

　　The accord also says that developed countries must promise to cut greenhouse gas emissions(排放)to the UN by January 31, 2010．The accord asks developed countries to give money to help developing countries．

　　Many countries and organizations are disappointed that the conference didn't reach a legal document(法律約定)．And they think the accord is not clear enough about its goals．
