We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. Shell complain(抱怨) about my lack of a bright future because I dont plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I dont want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack. “Why cant you be like my coworkers son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworkers son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I dont know what to answer except that I simply cant be like Mr. Perfect, as Ive called the unnamed coworkers son. I cant be like him. Im the type of person who loves to help out in the community, writes until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary. I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. Ive seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesnt mean Ill be successful.

For a pilot, the decision is very difficult. If he ejects, he is wise, but the plane crashes. If he stays in the plane, he risks his life. Recently, Chinese Air Force pilot Li Feng, 38, faced this situation during a training exercise. It was March 7 and he was flying a Jian-10 (Fighter-10) at 4,500 meters. A warning appeared on the planes computer screen. He realized the plane might fail at any moment.Li Feng did a quick check of the engine and asked the base if he could return. When the fighter was 7 km away from the airport, however, the engine stopped working. The plane began to fall at a speed of 25 meters a second from an altitude of 1,160 meters.Under Air Force rules fighter pilots may eject if their aircraft loses engine power below 2,000 meters and cant be restarted. Before Li lost contact（联系）with the control tower, the commander in the air base asked him to eject. But Li Feng insisted on having another try.“I knew where the deadline (to abandon the aircraft) was and was prepared for the ejection, but I decided not to give up unless the fighter was totally out of control,” Li recalled during a recent television interview.After 104 seconds, Li was able to bring the fighter to a safe landing. The plane only suffered slight damage.“You are a hero! Congratulations!” Lis teacher, Xu Yongling wrote in a text message to him after the landing. He said Li was a cool-headed pilot and very professional.Lis brave and calm act not only saved the 200 million yuan aircraft but also gave him invaluable first-hand experience of dealing with an engine emergency.For his outstanding performance, the Air Force recently awarded him a gold medal.5.
