Question

READING COMPREHENSION:
At the beginning of the
twentieth century, flight was
new. It was not for everyone.
It was only for the brave and
adventurous. Two
adventurers were Charles
Lindbergh and Amelia
Earhart. Charles Lindbergh loved to fly. He was born in 1902, one year before the
Wright brothers’ historic flight. In 1927, a man offered a $25,000 reward for the first
person to fly from New York to Paris nonstop. Lindbergh was a pilot for the United
States Mail Service at that time. He wanted to win the prize. He became famous
because he was the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean. His plane
was in the air for 33 hours. The distance of the flight was 3,600 miles. There were
thousands of people in New York to welcome him home. He was an American
hero. He was only 25 years old. Another famous American aviator was Amelia
Earhart. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone. She was
34 years old. Americans were in love with Earhart. In 1937, however, she was on a
flight around the world when her plane disappeared somewhere in the Pacific
Ocean. No one really knows what happened to Earhart.
