On May 5，2017, China’s home-made passenger aircraft(飛機）C919 completed its 90-minute first flight and landed safely back at Pudong Airport in Shanghai.

C919 is developed by COMAC, a Chinese aircraft company. It is designed to compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The first C919 aircraft can carry 168 passengers and is able to fly a distance between 4,075 and 5, 555 kilometers. It’s reported that a C919 costs around 50 million dollars, less than half of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. Up to now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers, mostly Chinese, but also American and Thai companies or airlines. COMAC aims to take one fifth of the world’s narrow-body aircraft market and one third of the Chinese market by 2035.

The name C919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both “COMAC” and “China”. The number 9 is pronounced as jiu in Chinese, which means “forever”. And the number 19 refers to its capacity(容量) of 190 passengers.

The large passenger aircraft is praised as “the flower of modern industry”. It is a symbol of the nation’s industrial and technological standards as well as the comprehensive(綜合的) power. In order to realize the century dream of flying in the sky and the strategy(戰(zhàn)略) of the nation, COMAC bears the nation’s dream and people’s trust. China considers it as a national pride.

What’s in a Name?

Many American names come from England. But where did most English names come from? Centuries ago, most people in England had only one name--their first name. In the 11th century, five or six of the 50 people in a village might be named William, and it was easy to get confused(困惑). But in the Middle Ages, people found a way to describe each person exactly. If there were four Williams in one village, one might be referred to as William the son of John. A second might be called William from the hill. A third, William the blacksmith(鐵匠). And a fourth, William the brown haired. In conversation, people might refer to the four Williams as William John’s son, William hill, William smith, and William brown.

It was 300 or 400 years before the extra(附加的) names gradually developed into last names, or surnames. They were passed on from generation to generation. By the 1300s, Robert, the son of William smith, had the name Robert smith, even if he was not a blacksmith like his father. As the last name became widely accepted, the first letter was capitalized, as in Robert Smith. By the 15th century, most people of the upper and middle classes had surnames.

Many surnames were based on father-son relations. The “son of” part was added to the father’s first name, like Johnson, meaning John’s son. Sometimes it was shortened to just “s”, as in Jones or Evans. Surnames like Hill described the place where a person lived. They are the most common type of surname. A third kind of surname was based on a person’s job. Forester was someone who looked after the forest. In the Middle Ages, occupation names such as Baker, Carpenter, and Miller became common. The fourth kind of surname was nickname(綽號). A man whose surname was Bear might be as fierce as a bear.

Have you ever wondered why some surnames are so common? The most common surname in the English language is Smith. Being able to make metals(金屬) into tools was an important skill in the Middle Ages, so many people were trained as blacksmiths. The most common American surnames are Smith, Johnson, William and Brown.

Every weekend in Britain, DIY shops and garden centres are always full of people. A large number of people spend their weekends doing improvements (改進)to their homes instead of having a rest.

DIY projects are very popular and there are lots of TV programmes which show people how they can improve their homes.

Some people like decorating better – putting up wall- paper and painting walls, also there are many other DIY projects that people decide to take on, from changing the new floor to making a new shower. They are not so difficult for them.

Unluckily, some people bite off more than they can chew (不自量力), and try to take on jobs which always go wrong in the end. For example, the shops often tell people that it’s not safe(安全的) for a person to do anything electrical (電的). However, many people don’t care about this advice and put themselves in danger.

Some people believe that people from the same country share similar (相似的) characteristics. This is why you might hear someone saying "She is typical(典型的) Australian" or "He is so French". Here are some examples.

French

French people are romantic and outgoing. They have great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.

Chinese

Chinese are friendly and hard-working people. They are polite because they are careful about "saving face" when they are with other people.

Australians

Australians are happy people. They spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.

Germans

Germans are often serious and careful. They are hard workers and do everything carefully. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet!

Four ways to have a good school life

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and be sure you do not waste (浪費) this great chance to learn?

Be active(積極的) at school . Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable（令人愉快的）.

Keep fit . If you don’t eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and don’t have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong.

Face the problem . Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t make small problems very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must de everything quite well!

Spend the weekends . Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports, get together with friends in the park to relax, or learn to play the piano. If you don’t want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.

Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!
