9．If you were a pilot flying a plane，and suddenly the engine failed，would you eject （弹出），or stay in？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 7and he was flying a Jian-10 （Fighter-10）at 4，500meters．A warning appeared on the plane's 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 7km away from the airport，however，the engine stopped working．The plane began to fall at a speed of 25meters a second from an altitude of 1，160meters．
Under Air Force rules fighter pilots may eject if their aircraft loses engine power below 2，000meters and can't 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 104seconds，Li was able to bring the fighter to a safe landing．The plane only suffered slight damage．
"You are a hero!Congratulations!"Li's teacher，Xu Yongling wrote in a text message to him after the landing．He said Li was a cool-headed pilot and very professional．
Li's brave and calm act not only saved the 200million 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．

13．I cannot speak Spanish．It is a fact that becomes extremely obvious whenever I visit my mother because she lives in Argentina，but before sophomore（大二） year，she lived in Puerto Rico．When I was a child，I went to Puerto Rico every summer．We lived in a villa on the grounds of the Westin Rio Mar and had family in the small town of Rio Grande．My lack of Spanish skills was met with a mixture of disdain（蔑视） and fascination at the fact that I was a"unilingual"American．Though I explained to them that I studied French，it did little to convince them．
After months of pleading（哀求） for a vacation in a French-speaking country，we went to the Canadian province of Quebec．I was looking forward to the role-reversal（角色转换）； for once，I would be the bilingual traveler and my mother would be the"Ugly American．"To my surprise，she transitioned（转换） almost seamlessly（无缝），using her broken French as a jumping off point to start conversations．In doing so，she met many people who were eager for a chance to converse in English with a native speaker．
Her ability to connect with others confused me．I did not understand how she could relate to them so easily，that is until I went to Ghana．Though I worked during the day，I was able to spend quality time with the girls attending the Nsaba Diaspora School，a recently built single-sex school in a rural village．They were in the process of learning English and I cannot speak Twi （their language），but we connected immediately．They took me to their classes，showed me the village and worked math problems with me on a chalkboard so we could compare problem-solving methods．
What brought us together was a shared desire to relate to each other and to experience life from another viewpoint．What I took away from that experience was that language does not have to function as a barrier if both sides are willing to look past linguistic differences and acknowledge shared humanity（人性）．
