When young, I loved going on trail was my favorite way to escape

stress. So, when I was back in my hometownafter a tough first year of my Ph. D.

program, I thought a trail run was justwhat I needed. But instead of helping me

relax, the run did just the opposite.

After I moved to the city forcollege, where my runs were on flat concrete

paths instead of winding dirttrails, I used a GPS watch. When I went on trail

runs again in the country, itconstantly reminded me of the fact that I wasn’t

keeping

up

with

my

usual

pace.I

turned

my

watch

off,

thinking

that

would

allow me to enjoy my surroundingsand find the peace I expected, but I worried

I

was

underperforming.

“Whycan’t

I

let

go

and

just

enjoy

myself?”

I

wondered. But after someintrospection, I realized wh

y I was struggling?both

ontrail runs and in graduate school.

Going into my Ph. D. , I hadthought that my solid undergraduate track

record

would

set

me

up

for

instantsuccess.

To

my

surprise,

I

was

wrong.

I

lacked

confidence

in

my

researchabilities

which

I

thought

stopped

me

performing

well

and

I

constantly

felt

myprogress

was

too

slow.

Other

students’self

-confidence

and

their

excellentresults

made

me

feel

insecure.

Finally, one day I broke down in tears in myadviser’s office.

Then came my visit home: I was

having trouble because I hadn’t properly

adjusted my expectations to the differencesbetween an urban run and a trail

run.

A

Ph.

D.

is

like

a

trail

run:Sometimes

you

can

run

fast.

Sometimes

you

might find yourself climbing up asteep, winding trail at a sna

il’s pace. And

that’s OK. Barriers areunavoidable, and success looks and feels different on a

challenging trail thanit does on a smooth, flat path. Sometimes it’s best to

take a deep breath anddo your best to meet the challenge.

One

of

the

most

expensive

parts

of

flyingis

the

cost

of

gas,

not

to

mention

the

environmental

effect

it

brings.

AnIsraeli

startup

called

Eviation

Aircraft

hopes

to

solve

the

problems.

Theydisplayed

the

world’s

first

all-electric passenger airplane this week at theParis Air Show.

The lightweight plane?playfullycalled Alice?will be able to fly about 600

milesbetween

charges.

So

it

will

focus

on

transportation

between

cities.

It

seatsnine

passengers

and

two

crew

members.

A

typical

flight

should

cost

a

customerabout $$200.

“The fact that we’ rebuilding an electric plane from scratch instead of

just

refitting

anexisting

plane

with

a

battery

means

that

we

can

design

our

aircraft to be moreeffective and efficient than present planes,” said Eviation

co-founderOmer Bar Yohay. He predicts that per seat, per mile, the cost would

be equal tothat of a taxi or train.

The

demand

for

electricallypowered

aircraft

is

projected

to

reach

hundreds of planes per year within thenext decade. The change from gas to

electric

in

power

is

expected

to

savemillions

of

dollars

in

fuel

costs,

not

to

mention

the

environmental

benefitsincluding

significant

reduction

of

air

pollution and noise levels.

When

it

comes

to

the

newpossibilities,

Yosef

Abramowitz,

an

energy

industry expert, said, “In modernlife, it is important to fight climate change

and now we have a path to do soin flying.” Abram

owitz, a tireless advocate for

solar power, added,”The batteries will hopefully be charged with solar energy

too.”

To

help

further

save

fuelcosts,

the

designers

have

also

invented

a

“taxibot” that drags planesfrom the

passenger gate to

the

runway, so

the

planes needn’t run their engines.

After appearing at the ParisAir Show, the Alice will travel to the U.S. for

further tests. It is expectedthat the first commercial flights will take off in 2022.

“I think for the firsttime in a very, very long time, we c

an look at flight

again and talk about thenext revolution,” Bar Yohay said.

（

What is the advantage of the new plane?

A . It can save more costs.B . It is powered by solar energy.C . It is much

faster and cheaper.D . It can be charged during the flight.

the

underlined

part

“from

scratch”

in

probably mean?

Without

From
