On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first successful powered flight in history, making their dream come true.
It all started when Orville was 7 and Wilbur was 11. Their father gave them a toy helicopter(直升机), which made them dream of flying. Their mother, who knew much about machines and science, also influenced them a lot.
When the brothers grew up, they entered the printing business. Then they opened a bicycle repair shop. It wasn't long before they were making their own bikes. However, the brothers never stopped to study flight. They studied what other people learned about flight. By 1900, the Wright brothers were ready to test their first Flyer. They tried many times. Finally, on December 17, 1903, they achieved success.
That day, the brothers flew four times. Orville flew the Flyer the first time. That flight lasted 12 seconds and went 120 feet. Their second flight went 175 feet and the third 200 feet. Wilbur flew the fourth flight. It reached 852 feet in 59 seconds. After that last flight, the Flyer became too broken to fly again because of the strong wind.
They kept testing new designs to improve their Flyer. Later they began to teach others to fly. They even opened their own flying school. The brothers did make travel more convenient for people.
Wu Mingzhu is a 94-year-old expert at growing melons(瓜), and she recently returned to Turpan, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where she worked for many years. The local people welcomed her with warm smiles and cheers.
Wu was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and she graduated(毕业) from Southwest University in 1953. Two years later, she decided to help farmers in Xinjiang grow melons, even though the working conditions were really difficult back then.
She spent three years visiting more than 300 farms to learn about the best ways to grow melons. In 1973, she opened a special center in Hainan Province to improve melon breeding(培育). Thanks to Wu and her team, about 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet melons we eat today come from their hard work over more than 60 years!
Even though Wu has some trouble remembering her family members because of her illness, she feels happy whenever someone mentions"melon". It reminds her of all the fun and important work she did with melons during her whole life.
You get into bed after a long day and plan to spend a few minutes on your phone before sleeping. However, falling asleep isn't as easy as expected. What's wrong?
According to a new study, your phone may be the problem. Researchers asked 85 kids aged 11 to 14 to wear body cameras for a week, starting from three hours before bedtime. A second camera was placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use in bed. The kids also wore a device(设备) to record their sleep.
Researchers found that 99% of the kids used their phones in the two hours before bed, over half used their phones while in bed, and about a third used them after trying to sleep. The results showed that screen time in bed put off kids' sleep by about half an hour and cut down on their total sleep time.
The influence was larger when they played games or used more than one screen.
"While the science guidelines (指南) suggest no screen time in an hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might help you get a better night's sleep," said the lead researcher, Bradley Brosnan.
On Oct.24, Deep Blue Aerospace, a Chinese space company, sold two space travel tickets in a livestream(直播). This was the first time space tickets were sold in China. Each ticket was 1.5 million yuan. But during the stream, they were sold for 1 million yuan each.
The space trip will last about 12 minutes. According to the company, passengers will sit in a spacecraft(航天器) that is about 4 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide, with six big windows and space for six people. The spacecraft will go 100 kilometers above Earth.
Travelers will experience weightlessness (失重) for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely.
Passengers must be between 18 and 60 years old. They need to be healthy. They also have to take some training before the trip.
The trip will use the company's Nebula-1 rocket. It runs on O2 and kerosene (煤油) and can be reused. This makes the trip cheaper. As this technology gets better, space tickets might become less expensive, said a leader of Deep Blue Aerospace.
The company plans to do lots of tests in 2026 to make sure the space trip is safe. They hope to begin the trip in 2027.
Once upon a time, there lived a woodman(樵夫) in a village. One day, he went to the forest to cut wood. He worked very hard. At midday, his cart (马车) was full and he felt thirsty(口渴的), so he decided to go back home. On his way home, he saw a teahouse. He stopped his cart and walked into the teahouse. Before he could take a cup of water, he found his wood burning. He shouted, "Oh, no! My wood is on fire!"
"What can I do?" the man thought. Soon he took his cup, rushed out of the door, and poured the water on the fire. However, instead of being put out, the fire got bigger and bigger.
The man was very sad. A passer-by(过路人) saw that and said, "How can you put out the fire with a cup of water? You' re just making useless efforts."
This story is used to say that the effort is too small to solve the problem. In fact, we should choose proper ways to solve problems.
