I am Lucy, a 15-year-old girl from India and I think believing is a great power that can change anything in

your life.

When I was 13, almost everyone just thought I was a kid so I did not have to worry about anything. But that

was not true because I was bored with everything I was learning. Besides, my mother didn’t understand me.

When I was 14, things changed. My friend encouraged me to learn music and I just found out that I had a

strong interest in music so I started spending much time on it. Soon I wanted to be a part of it. So I researched it

and then I wanted to be a part of an academy(专科院校) that trains musicians. But the problem was that it was in a

different country. Although my parents might not be on my side, I never gave up my dream.

During the next year, I practised my skills in dancing, singing and flexibility. I was in senior high school and

had to be a boarder(寄宿生). My mother made me focus on my study. But I was busy preparing for auditions(试镜)

of that academy and I was doing everything I could to prove it. To get what I wanted, I had that academy’s photos

all over my room and that city’s main monument on my phone’s wallpaper.

After a year in 2022, I finally gave my best audition of that academy on the Internet and I got in! I was happy

but sometimes I wondered whether my parents were going to agree to it or not, Fortunately, my parents agreed and

I flew to that country to give the last phase of an interview to join that academy. I passed and later was sent there

for training.

It was not surprising that I finally got the chance to live in the city of my dream and train in the academy of

my dream, as I believed everything was going to work out as long as I held on to my dream.

A 17-year-old pilot (飞行员) has become the youngest person to fly alone around the world. Mack Rutherford,

who holds British and Belgian citizenship, completed his trip on Wednesday. He landed his small plane in

Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia. That is also where he started his trip five months ago. Rutherford, who turned 17 during

his trip, broke the Guinness World Record for youngest male to fly around the world. That record had been held by

Travis Ludlow of Britain. Ludlow was 18 when he made his flight around the world last year.

Rutherford was born into a family of flyers. He earned his pilot’s License ( 许可证) in 2020, becoming the

youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15.

His trip around the world started in Sofia on a plane owned by the internet company ICD Soft. The ultralight

plane, called Shark, can travel at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Normally a two-seater, the plane was

changed for his long trip by replacing the second seat with an extra fuel (燃料) container.

Rutherford first planned to make the trip in three months. But it lasted longer because of rainstorms,

sandstorms and extreme heat. Most of the delays were caused by waits to get permits and other documents required

for keeping with the flight plan. The flight took him through Africa and the Calf area to India, China, South Korea,

and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 straight hours in the air on a volcanic island near the

Bering Strait. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico. Then he

headed north again along the U. S. East Coast to Canada, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.

His sister

Zara, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his flight.

On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people welcomed Rutherford and celebrated his achievements. His father,

Sam Rutherford, said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such

an event helps show other children they should follow their dreams.

8. How old was Mack Rutherford when he started his flight around the world?

A. At the age of 16 years old. B. At the age of 17 years old.

C. At the age of 15 years old. D. At the age of 19 years old.

9. Why was the plane changed before the flight?

A. To have a faster speed. B. To have a lighter weight.

C. To have a longer flying time. D. To have an extra seat.

10. What were the feelings of Rutherford’s father when Rutherford was back on Wednesday?

A. Unbelievable and respectful. B. Grateful and touched.

C. Sad and doubtful. D. Happy and proud.
