The yo-yo is one of the oldest and most popular of all toys.The Greeks were playing with yo-yos around 500 BC.It was a popular children's toy in the Philippines during the 16th century,and it was the toy to own in Britain in the early 19th century.Even the Prince of Wales had one!
The first American yo-yo company was started in 1928.The American yo-yos had a special feature.They could stop at the end of the string and spin（旋转） in one place before moving up again.This was called “sleeping”.It allowed the user to do tricks while the yo-yo was spinning.Soon yo-yo fans of all ages were doing tricks with names like “walk the dog”,“rock the baby” and “around the world”.
During the 1970s,yo-yo companies began making their yo-yos more interesting and exciting.Yo-yos lit up in the dark,they whistled,and they had funny shapes.In 1985,the yo-yo even went into space.It was taken on the space shuttle Discovery to see how it would perform in zero gravity（重力）.It would still spin,but without gravity to pull it down,it would not “sleep”.
Over the years,competitions and exhibitions have led more and more people to take ‘yo-yoing' seriously.In 1990,the first international yo-yo convention （大会） was held.In 1993,the American Yo-Yo Association was started.For serious yo-yo fans,there's even a National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico,California.
The best thing about yo-yos,though,is that you don't have to be a genius to figure them out.You just need to keep practising,and pretty soon you'll be spinning with the best of them.
