35、per airplanes have been built life-size and then flown? At least one: 12-year-old Arturo Veldenegro of Tucson, Arizona, who won the Pima Air & Space Museums first annual(一年一次的) Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off in March 2012. The purpose of the competition is to inspire(激发) and draw kids interest

36、 in science and flight(飞行), says Tim Vimmerstedt, director of the museum. About 150 kids entered the competition. The young designers(设计) learned about how airplanes fly and then set to work designing their own planes. Arturo designed and built his airplane. When he finished, he took his plane to th

37、e flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. At last, Arturos airplane flew the farthestmore than 75 feet! As the winner, Arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, who took his design and made a bigger one. The new paper airplane might have been the largest

38、 one ever built! Arturo named his large paper airplane Arturos Desert Eagle. Later a helicopter(直升飞机) tried to lift the paper airplane over the Arizona desert, but it was unsuccessful. Engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a second try. This time, the helicopter managed to raise it to 2,

39、700 feet and then set the plane free. Arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at speeds of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 seconds before falling to pieces. I felt happy but sad, Arturo says. It flew really well, but it was sad to see it destroyed. But that wasnt the end of Arturos Desert Ea

43、nce B. teach kids how to build life-size airplanes C. introduce a boy and his large paper airplane D. call on more kids to visit the Pima Air & Space Museum C Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names

44、 as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial n

45、ame long after the meaning is lost. Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the West and the East. An

46、other way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after.

47、ads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circusobviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.

48、et rice in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road Wet Rice Road? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road. A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is Circular Road for one. Other roads may have part of their names

49、to describe their shapes, like Paya Lebar Crescent. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.66.

53、rofession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait

54、 a minute,” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?” The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for a briefcase(公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeat

55、ing the words, “Hello, class. Im Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy. I arri

I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required. “All r

57、ight then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of

58、 the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, youll all get your turn.
