There are many ways to measure(测量) how intelligent(聪明) we are. One of the most p 1. ways is to complete an IQ test(智商测试)

Recently, a 10-year-old British student, Aahil Jouher, decided to take it. The r 2. were very surprising for him. Aahil got a high score of 162, making him one of the youngest people in the world to get the highest score.

“ I didn’t e 3. to get that score. I just thought I’d get an average(平均) score,” said the little boy.

What’s even more surprising is that Aahil didn’t think he did very well on the test , saying : “ I could do b 4. .

Only one percent of the people can get s 5. a high score. And only those with incredibly (难以置信地) high scores(the top 2 percent) get to become a member of Mensa(门萨), the largest and oldest IQ society in the world.

Flying is a fast way to travel. But it is a big headache for some people. They can’t help worrying about things like, “Is turbulence (颠簸) a bad thing?” or, “Is it dangerous if we don’t change our mobile phones to flight mode (飞行模式)?” British newspaper Daily Mail spoke to some experts to answer these questions. They also tell us other interesting things about flying.

Is turbulence dangerous?

It’s scary and uncomfortable. But it is not something you really need to worry about.

Turbulence is caused when two groups of air hit one another at different speeds. Wind, thunderstorms (暴风雨) and being close to mountains can be reasons for this.

You may feel like turbulence is dangerous, but it won’t crash (坠毁) your plane. “Even in extremely rough air (扰动气流), the wings (机翼) are not going to break off,” explained Patrick Smith, an airline pilot, who is also an air travel blogger and author of AskThePilot.com.

Why are plane windows round?

Round windows are for passenger safety.

As the airplane flies higher and higher, the outside atmospheric pressure (气压) gets lower and lower. During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside.

When this happens, square windows can break. That’s because having different pressures inside and outside puts pressure on the corners of square windows. But rounded corners can spread the pressure through the window.

What happens when a phone isn’t on flight mode?

Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets need to be turned off because they could bring the plane down. However, this is not true.

If you don’t change your phone to flight mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones. It also influences radio communications. So it’s still best to put it on flight mode.
