In 2007, Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly alone around the world. He was just 23 years old and he built the plane himself. How did ha achieve this
Irving s interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents’ bookstore in Miami, Florida. One of the customers was a pilot, Gary Robinson. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn’t think he was smart enough. But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport. He showed Irving inside the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving’s life.
Irving really wanted to fly, but flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. At home, he practiced flying on a video game. In the end, he got enough money for flight school.
At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly. But he wasn’t finished. Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.
Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he persisted (顽强地坚持) in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth $ 300 000. Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his airplane was ready to fly.
On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days—with 145 hours in the air—he landed back in Miami. A cheering crowd of people was there to welcome him.
Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful effect (影响) on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.
“Everyone told me what I couldn’t do,” says Irving. “They said I was too young, that I didn’t have enough money. But even if no one believes in your dream,” he says, “you have to pursue (追求) it.”
( )1. Why was Gary Robinson important in Irving’s life
A. He got Irving interested in flying. B. He sent Irving to a flight school.
C. He helped Irving build a plane. D. He taught Irving how to fly.
( )2. Put the events about Irving in the correct order
a. Irving got the parts for his plane. b. Irving flew around the world.
c. Irving met Gary Robinson. d. Irving learned to fly.
A. c-d-a-b B. c-a-d-b C. b-c-a-d D. b-c-d-a
( )3. What can we know about Irving s personality according to the passage
A. Clever and honest. B. Humorous and responsible.
C. Polite and powerful. D. Hard- working and persistent.
( )4. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Becoming a Pilot B. Life in Flight School C. Achieving a Dream D. Building Your Own Plane
