12．At 10：35a．m．on December 17，1903，two brothers from Ohio flew the first successful airplane for 12seconds and 120feet along a beach in Kitty Hawk，North Carolina．With Orville flying first，the brothers took turns as pilot，and they flew three more times that day．On their fourth try，they managed to go 852feet in 59 seconds--an amazing feat at the time．The two brothers had invented powered flight．
Orville and Wilbur Wright owned a bicycle shop in Dayton，Ohio．Although they had not gone to school to learn about airplanes or engineering，they were good mechanics．By repairing bicycles，they had learned how gears and pulleys worked．They also learned to take careful notes about what they saw．Each time they made a new design and tested a machine，they took notes and made drawings．They would study these to figure out what they could do better the next time．
Before the Wright brothers flew，they did many things to prepare for this extraordinary achievement．They read everything they could find about air，balloons，and kites．Then they made careful sketches of what they wanted to build．They began by making model kites to learn how air flowed over wings．They made them bigger and bigger until they had a glider-a kite that is big enough to hold a person，but with no engine．The Wright brothers made three gliders before building their first airplane．Each time they made a glider，they would test it，make careful observations，and then improve their design．
When they made a glider that flew well，they added an engine．This step was harder than it sounds，because they had to find an engine that was both light-weight and powerful．The engines that they could buy were either too heavy or too weak，so they asked their friend Charlie Taylor to help them build one．The first engine that Charlie built broke almost immediately，but the second one worked well．
After Orville and Wilbur installed the engine in their plane，they were almost ready．They simply had to wait for the perfect day with just the fight amount of wind．On the morning of December 17，1903，they had their chance．And the airplane flew into history．

2．When Sally Ride was ten years old，she had no idea that she would someday grow up to be one of America's first women astronauts．In fact，if you had asked her then what she wanted to be，she would have said，"I want to play shortstop （游击手） for the Los Angeles Dodgers．"Sally collected baseball cards by the boxful，and she knew the name and batting average of every player in the National League．
But major league baseball didn't seem much of a possibility for a girl，even an athletic one like Sally，so her father and mother talked her into taking tennis lessons when she was twelve．At first she hated to trade in her baseball bat for a tennis racket，but it wasn't long before she started to win tournaments in her new sport．"Tennis became much more fun when I started winning，"Sally remembers．
Sally first became interested in the space program in 1962when astronaut John Glenn orbited the earth in his Mercury space capsule．Sally was ten years old at the time，but she remembers the launch and the splashdown as if they happened yesterday．The girl who used to memorize batting averages became a space fan．She quickly learned the name of all the eight NASA astronauts，the date of every launch，and the name and number of every spacecraft from Freedom 7to Skylab 3．
By the time she was sixteen，Sally had decided to become an astrophysicist．She had also become a nationally ranked tennis player．She remembers yawning through an important tennis match on June 20，1969，after staying up all night to watch Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon．Sally lost the match．As Sally got older，many of her friends started playing professional tennis．Some of them tried to talk her into quitting school to join them on the professional tennis circuit．But Sally said no．"Black holes are more interesting to me than backhands，"she told them．Now she knows that she made the right choice，but in 1970Sally had no way of knowing that NASA would open the space program to women．
