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.

I feel unhappy.
Lingling says: 22 August 2024 at 20:18 Hi, Chen Jie, I'm Lingling. I have a little brother, but sometimes I feel unhappy. My parents give my little brother more attention(关注) because he's too young. I know we should help him but I miss(思念) the old days. What can I do?
23 August 2024 at 17:32 Hi, Lingling, It's okay to feel a bit left out when there's a new baby in the family. Your little brother is getting lots of attention, but it doesn't mean your parents don't love you. I'm 13 years old. When my little sister came three years ago, I felt this way sometimes too. But I'm happy because I can do more things by myself when my parents are not at home. I usually look after(照顾) my sister. I play with her, feed her and change her diaper. It helps me learn to be a good big brother. Don't worry, Lingling. Everything will be better! |
