    Today I am going along with Rowan Dougall, a postman in Queensland in the far north of Australia, on his daily delivery(投递 trip. Every day, Rowan sets off with his post bags in the tail of his little plane--not much bigger than a large family car, and flies across one of the wildest places on Earth, Australia's Cape North, to reach the very faraway inland areas called the Outback.

    We fly just 300 metres above dangerous crocodiles(鳄鱼) and snakes. This is one of the longest and most expensive postman trips in the world.  However, a 50-cent stamp not only gets a letter posted to a neighbouring town, it will get it hand-delivered by flying postman to the furthest areas of the Outback. To help with the costs, the plane takes three or four paying local people or tourists, and I am one of them. In the back of the plane, there is a pile of post--envelopes of all sizes, newspapers, and a few parcels(包裹). Somehow I expected this post to look special, maybe to include some hats or cowboy boots, but this looks no more exciting than the post delivered to me in England. I look at some of the names and addresses, wondering about the people who are waiting for these letters and parcels.

    Rowan's route is 2,000 km long, with 15 stops, and I get a chance to meet Sandy, who has just received an order of clothes from a store. "I look forward to this weekly delivery," she says, "but I do miss actually going shopping myself." Rowan is checking the time. There are another ten stops to make before dusk(黄昏). Time to leap back on the plane and up into the air.

Once upon a time, there was an old woman. Her son was really lazy and did nothing at all. The old woman became 1 about his future. One day, she said to her son, "I hope you can go to this island and find some treasure." After saying that, she gave 2  son a bag. It was her son's 3 time to go to a place so far away. So she prepared some food, some clothes, some money and a map in the bag.

The son started the long journey the next day. During the long journey, he had to cook meals for himself.4 his way to the island, he met many people. Some of them helped him. Three months  5 , he got to  the island. 6  , he could not find any treasure. He felt quite sad and began to return home. On his way back home, he could 7 look after himself. And surprisingly, he met those people  8  helped him before. This time he stayed with them for a few days and helped them with some farm work.

When he got home, he told his mother that he could not find any treasure. His mother smiled and said, "My son, to be honest, there is no treasure in  9  island. But I think you  10 the most valuable treasure in life already. This is something you can only learn through the course of life."

 On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first successful powered flight in history, making their dream come true.

 It all started when Orville was 7 and Wilbur was 11. Their father gave them a toy helicopter(直升机), which made them dream of flying. Their mother, who knew much about machines and science, also influenced them a lot.

 When the brothers grew up, they entered the printing business. Then they opened a bicycle repair shop. It wasn't long before they were making their own bikes. However, the brothers never stopped to study flight. They studied what other people learned about flight. By 1900, the Wright brothers were ready to test their first Flyer. They tried many times. Finally, on December 17, 1903, they achieved success.

 That day, the brothers flew four times. Orville flew the Flyer the first time. That flight lasted 12 seconds and went 120 feet. Their second flight went 175 feet and the third 200 feet. Wilbur flew the fourth flight. It reached 852 feet in 59 seconds. After that last flight, the Flyer became too broken to fly again because of the strong wind.

They kept testing new designs to improve their Flyer. Later they began to teach others to fly. They even opened their own flying school. The brothers did make travel more convenient for people.
