I wonder that it should be 升级 instead of 升职, right?

  No, it should be “升职”，“升职‘is only for the job，means you do very good job, so your company give you a higher position for your job.
  “升级”means level up，for examole：you can say“我的游戏升级了”

    Thanks for the example! Does it mean I upgraded the game, or I got better at playing it?

1. 依卡路斯越飛越升了。最後在太陽附近他的蠟羽很快融化了。他掉入了大海中。之後我門希臘人把那個大海叫Ikarion.

  This is Mythology. What I wanted to say:
  
  Ikarus flew higher and higher. Finally, near the sun his wax wings melted and he fell into the sea. Thereafter, us Greeks call the sea Ikarion.
  
  How to say: “until his wings melted”?
