Hover Camera(无人相机)
Wang Mengqiu, the inventor of Hover Camera, was born in Hangzhou in 1982. He once studied at Stanford University in the United States. He became famous overnight(一夜成名) because of the invention.
Forget selfie sticks(自拍杆)! Compared to other cameras, Hover Camera has many advantages.
*It can fly and stay in mid-air, track your face and even follow you to make sure it gets the perfect picture.
*It can be controlled by using a smartphone(智能手机).
*It records movements with a 13MP camera and takes 4K video.
*It is the best choice for weddings, sports games and holidays.
Mr. Wang also said: “The main design consideration is easy and safe to take for the users. It's very light and small. It can be folded(折叠) in two, so it can be easily put into a bag. When the power is low, it can land on the ground safely on its own.”
It's reported that the company has raised $ 25 million to produce it. As it is still being tested(测试), Hover Camera can be bought later this year.
The price has not yet been decided. But a spokesman says the company hopes to sell it for less than $ 600.
As the years go by, the Italian community has found its place in Australia. One of the main reasons is the birth of a second generation(代). The children of migrants(移民) have grown up as Australians.
Lucy's family is an example.
Lucy's parents came from Italy in the1950s. Lucy was born in Sydney soon after her parents arrived in Australia. Lucy's parents were both workers. They spoke Italian at home. When Lucy went to school she had to learn English. Her mum and dad could speak just a little English. Athome it was always Italian. When she got a bit older, her mum and dad would askher to help them out when they didn't understand something in English.
When she was growing up, her parentsdidn't allow her to do as much as her Australian friends. Her friends didn't understand why she couldn't go out and do things with them, or why she alwaysdid what her parents wanted! Lucy's parents spent a lot of time with otherItalians, mainly because it was much easier for them to communicate in Italian. Because of this, she spent more time with kids from Italian background.
Things have changed since Lucy had children of her own. Lucy is not as strict as her parents were, so her own kids have more freedom(自由). They can move between the different cultures and feel easier in both cultures. They haven't had so many problems about their identities(身份). They see themselves as Australians with an Italian background and they're proud of their traditions.
