A

With eight bloodshot eyes fixed on a flying object, the pains of a two-year project were about to bear fruit.

It was Wang Hongyi’s first test flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (无人机)designed and assembled(组装)with his teammates from the Aero-Sport Club (航模队)at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Wang is a senior mechanical engineering and automation major. He has been a plane model fan since childhood. As a freshman, he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun. Wu Junqi, the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong University’s Aero-Sport Club, spotted Wang and told him his model was outdated.

“I was a little angry, so he took me to the lab,” says Wang. He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club. As a technology fan, Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab. “He loves what he’s doing, so he can stand the loneliness of doing research that others seldom have the persistence to carry out.” says coach Wu.

When Wang and his teammates were building UAV, they lived together in the lab. “We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved.”  Wang says. They didn’t even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well. “We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions.” he says.

“Our UAV isn’t finished yet, but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me.”  Wang says. “The UAV is just the beginning, not the end of my aircraft journey.”

21. Why did Wang succeed in doing the research?

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores in certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or anxious situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.

For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(人生观) on life, special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.

If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out more about life — he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream–world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.
