A Canadian university student has done what Leonardo daVinci(达·芬奇)had only dreamt of: Piloting a humanpowered“ wing－flapping” plane! Called an ornithopter, and the inspiration for modern－day helicopters, the machine was first sketched by Leonardo da Vinci way back in 1485 and never actually built.

Todd Reichert, an engineering student at the University of Toronto，made history by carrying out the flight in his ornithopter—named Snowbird—for 19.3 seconds and covering 475.72 feet. Snowbird is made from carbon fiber，balsa wood  and foam. The 92. 59 pounds vehicle maintained an average speed of 15.91 miles per hour.

Todd and his plane made the accomplishment on August 2,2010, at the Great Lakes Gliding Clum in Tottenham, Ontario. The crew kept the achievement quiet for nearly two months to get the data finalized. Todd and some 30 other students had been working on the plane for 4 years.

Todd endured a year－long exercise program in which he lost 18 lbs，to prepare for the flight. Because the plane has a wingspan of 104 feet—which is comparable to that of a Boeing 737—the pilot had to pedal with his legs all while pulling on the wings to flap at the same time. And he had to do it fast enough to fly!

“Our original goal was to complete this sort of original aeronautical dream to fly like a bird，”said the 28­year­old Reichert yesterday. “The idea was to fly under your own power by flapping your wings.”

The flight, witnessed by the Federation Aeronautique International, is the first officially confirmed flight in an ornithopter.

“Thousands of people have tried to do this for hundreds of years ，”said Reichert. “To be honest, I don't think it's really set in yet that I'm the one who has been successful. I  was pushing with everything I had. When I finally let go and landed，I was hit with great excitement. It was pretty wild.”

I bet it was, Todd !

Finding your dream job can be difficult. This month, the search will become even harder as new graduates start looking for work. With many companies still struggling, job hunters have a very difficult task ahead of them.

Don't be disappointed. __1__ Consider using these three methods to find and get the job of your dreams.

The Front Door

__2__ These include checking company websites and employment services. Since lots of people use the front door, make yourself stand out. This means understanding what a company really needs and creatively showing you can meet that need. __3__ Find out who is doing the hiring, and try to give them your resume (简历) in person. Then follow up with a phone call, letter or visit.

The Back Door

A back­door job search means finding a job through people you know. The back door can help you avoid the crowd of job applicants using the front door. __4__ What if you don't have any connections at your dream company? Apply for an internship (实习期)．

The Invisible Door

If you're still not getting hired, you might be running into an invisible (无形的) door. Invisible doors are things companies want from new employees but don't list as job requirements. Many companies have special company cultures. Others are looking for people with very specific skills. __5__

It's not always easy to find a good job. But with a little work, a door will open!

A．Using the front door is convenient.

B．This type of job search uses traditional ways of getting hired.

C．If you aren't showing you are a perfect fit, you won't get hired.

D．Read about each company you apply to.

E．Create your own back door.

F．There are still jobs out there for those who know what to look for.

G．But you still need to work hard to show you are the best person for the job.
