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 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 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 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 it.”

Summer is coming soon. When is the best time for swimming in the day in summer
If you would like to swim indoors, a good time in the day is the early hours – the body has the most energy to use because the body has woken up and will be ready for all kinds of different activities of the day. The body is going to work with enough energy and therefore a person will feel more comfortable if he swims during the early hours of the day.
Swimming early in the day can also be good for anyone who plans to swim outdoors. The conditions outside will be excellent: the water will not be too cold or too hot, and the air will be just clean and fine. Everything is suitable.
Usually, it is not a good idea to swim later in the day because one’s body is tired after work for a whole day and also the weather conditions can be the worst in the later parts of the day.
However, there are still some exceptions. Different people feel different and one’s body acts differently at ferent times of the day. When a person is feeling active and is not tired at all after work, it may be a better time to swim for him than for others. If he is alert（警觉的）that time, he is safe in the water.
In a word, the best time can change for every person. The person’s body condition decides when the best time for swimming is.
The best time to 51 in summer
In the early hours of the day A good time (indoors) The body has the most energy then ●After 52 up, people are ready for different activities ●The person will feel more comfortable with 53 energy
A good time ( 54 ) The conditions outside will be excellent. ●The water is neither too cold nor too 55 . ●The 56 is clean and fine.
Later in the day Usually not a good time ●The body feels 57 after a day’s work. ●The weather conditions are the 58 during the day.
Exceptions Later in the day can be a good time for some people. ●People’s body conditions are different. ●The body acts differently at 59 times of the day.
Conclusion The best time to swim in the day in summer should be decided according to the body 60 of the swimmer.
