Charles A. Lindbergh is remembered as the first person to make a nonstop solo flight across the
Atlantic, in 1927. This feat- chiến công, when Lindbergh was only twenty-five years old, assured him a lifetime

of fame and public attention.
Charles Augustus Lindbergh was more interested in flying airplanes than he was in studying. He
dropped out of the University of Wisconsin after two years to earn a living performing daredevil airplane stunts
at country fairs. Two years later, he joined the United States Army so that he could go to the Army Aie Service
flight-training school. After completing his training, he was hired to fly mail between St. Louis and Chicago.
Then came the historic flight across the Atlantic. In 1919, a New York City hotel owner offered a prize of
$25,000 to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris. Nine St. Louis business leaders helped pay for
the plane Lindbergh designed especially for the flight. Lindbergh tested the plane by flying it from San Diego
to New York, with an overnight stop in St. Louis. The flight took only 20hours and 21minutes, a
transcontinental record.
Nine days later, on May 20, 1927, Lindbergh took off from Long Island, New York, at 7:52 a.m. He
landed at Paris on May 21 at 10:21 p.m. He had flown more than 3,600 miles in less than thirty four hours. His
flight made news around the world. He was given awards and parades everywhere he went. He was presented
with the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor and the first Distinguished Flying Cross. For a long time,
Lindbergh toured the world as a US goodwill ambassador. He met his future wife, Anne Morrow, in Mexico,
where her father was the United States ambassador.

During the 1930s, Charles and Anne Lindbergh worked for various airline companies, charting new
commercial air routes. In 1931, for a major airline, they charted a new route from the east coast of the United
States to the Orient. The shortest, most efficient route was a great curve across Canada, over Alaska, and down
to China and Japan. Most pilots familiar with the Arctic did not believe that such a route was possible. The
Lindberghs took on the task of proving that it was. They arranged for fuel and supplies to be set out along the
route. On July 29, they took off from Long Island in a specially equipped small seaplane. They flew by day and
each night landed on a lake or a river and camped. Near Nome, Alaska, they had their first serious emergency.
Out of daylight and nearly out of fuel, they were forced down in a small ocean inlet. In the next morning’s light,
they discovered they had landed on barely three feet of water. On September 19, after two more emergency
landings and numerous close calls, they landed in China with the maps for a safe airline passenger route.
Even while actively engaged as a pioneering flier, Lindbergh was also working as an engineer. In 1935,
he and Dr. Alexis Carrel were given a patent for an artificial heart. During World War I in the 1940s, Lindbergh
served as a civilian technical advisor in aviation. Although he was a civilian, he flew over fifty combat missions

in the Pacific. In the 1950s, Lindbergh helped design the famous 747 jet airliner. In the late 1960s, he spoke
widely on conservation issues. He died August 1974, having lived through aviation history from the time of the
first powered flight to the first steps on the moon and having influenced a big part of that history himself.
Câu 40: What did Lindbergh do before he crossed the Atlantic?
A. He acted as a technical advisor during World War II. B. He charted a route to China.
C. He graduated from flight-training school. D. He married Anne Morrow.
Câu 41: What happened immediately after Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic?
A. He left college. B. He flew the mail between St. Louis and Chicago.
C. He attended the Army flight-training school. D. He was given the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Câu 42: When did Charles meet Anne Morrow?
A. after he worked for an airline. B. after he received the first Distinguished Flying Cross.
C. before ho took off from Long Island. D. before he was forced down in an ocean inlet.
Câu 43: When did the Lindberghs map an air route to China? A. Before they worked for an airline.

II. Topic: What do you think of the changes in life?
Everything in the universe is in constant change. And everything needs continual improvement if the
ever changing and increasing demands of humankind are to be met. If I am ever given the chance to change
one important thing about my home town, it would be internet service. Needless to say that nothing generally
revolutionized the way we live as internet in the past decade. Thus, an improvement in this vital service would
mean an even more, unheard betterment to the people in my home town.
It is said that information is power. True saying indeed! I can envision how everything in my home town
could improve dramatically if the internet service in it were made free, fast and staying out there like
electricity, telephone or water all the time. One thing, a fast free and reliable internet service could improve in
my home town is the way people work. If there is a this said service people in my home town must not
necessarily commute to a far place to do their job. This in turn would mean less traffic jams, spacious work
place, more time for family and recreation and so on.
The way people learn would be another important thing that a fast, free and reliable internet service
could better in my home town. People will have the chance to go through tremendous and different information
resources in a very small amount of time. They, apparently will also take less time to share it. This assures a

more fulfilled life for my home town people.

home town.
