On July 2, 1937. Amelia Earhart (an
American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the
Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t{#blank#}1{#/blank#}around the world. Earhart had trouble
soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had to f{#blank#}2{#/blank#}at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the
plane used fuel (燃料) quickly.
After
about 20 h{#blank#}3{#/blank#}, Earhart and Noonan
got close to Howland Island. The island was o{#blank#}4{#/blank#}about 65 miles away, but the
bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn't see it. Near Howland, a
ship was w{#blank#}5{#/blank#}for the plane.
Earhart contacted the ship: " We don't have enough fuel," she said.
The ship tried to stay in touch with her b{#blank#}6{#/blank#}got no answer. Finally, the ship
called for help. People looked for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan
for days. However, they found nothing.
What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one
knows for sure. D{#blank#}7{#/blank#}the flight,
she probably moved in the wrong direction because the sun was bright and it was
d{#blank#}8{#/blank#}to see. So she got lost;
soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is
that she survived the plane crash, s{#blank#}9{#/blank#}to a lonely island, and later died there. Still others think she
survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).
Till now, none of these i{#blank#}10{#/blank#}has been proved. People are still
wondering about them. (Noonan's body has never been found either.) No matter
what happened, Earhart probably died as she wished. "When I go," she
said, "I'd like best to go in my plane."
