• 2．Flying High Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational non-profit-making organization.His message for kids： "The only thing that separates you from scientists is determination，hard work and a strong liking for what you want to achieve." The secret，he believes，is having a dream in the first place，and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.
     The moment of inspiration for Irving came at the age of 15 in his parents' bookstore.One customer，a professional pilot，asked Irving if he'd thought about becoming a pilot. "I told him I didn't think I was smart enough；but the next day he took me to the cockpit （駕駛艙） of the commercial airplane he flew，and just like that I was hooked."
     To follow his dream，Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of Florida.He washed airplanes to earn money for a flight school and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a ＄40 flight simulator （模擬） video game.Then another dream took hold：flying alone around the world.He faced more than 50 rejections for sponsorship before convincing some companies to donate aircraft components.He took off with no weather radar，no de-icing system，and just ＄30 in his pocket. "I like to do things people say I can't do."
     After 97 days，26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms，he touched down to a cheering crowd in Miami. "It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience." Irving has been doing it ever since.He set up his non-profit-making organization，Experience Aviation （航空），aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers.Kids attend programmes dealing with hands-on robotics projects and flight simulator challenges.
     "We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing，" he notes.Perhaps Irving's most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides.After landing his record-breaking flight at age 23，he said， "Everyone told me I was too young，that I didn't have enough experience，strength，or knowledge.They told me it would take forever and I'd never come home.Well …guess what？"
  
  （1）According to Irving，what is the most important in achieving success？

  
  A．Meeting people who provide unexpected help.
  B．Getting a chance to study technical knowledge.
  C．Having something specific that you want to accomplish.
  D．Developing communication with different organizations.
  （2）What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that

  .
  A．he felt embarrassed to refuse the offer
  B．he was doubtful about his own abilities
  C．he knew his efforts would be rewarded
  D．he realized immediately how lucky he was
  （3）What can we learn about Irving in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．He chose to reduce his budget as low as possible.
  B．He was finally given enough money to keep going.
  C．He got the most useful flying tips from his video game.
  D．He took on a further challenge after he knew how to fly.
  （4）Irving set up his non-profit-making organization because

  .
  A．he hoped to become a public figure
  B．he expected to start a business in other fields
  C．he saw there was great interest in what he was doing
  D．he thought he could teach more than flight schools could

• 3．A company in San Francisco，California，has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women's shoes.
     Every day，millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles.More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day.Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.
     A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy's，however，turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes.Roth Martin is the company's co-founder.He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women's feet.They take the plastic，clean it，and break it down into small pieces.Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers.Those fibers are then combined together.This is done by a 3 D machine.It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes.The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe's outer part，called the sole （鞋底）.This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material：responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.
     Rothy's shoes are sold online.They are flat shoes，with either a rounded or pointed toe.They come in different colors and designs.They cost either 125 or 145 per pair，depending on the design.After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year，the demand for the shoes grew.Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. "We're not going to run out of water bottles any time jye.aion.So we have a limitless supply of material，and I think that is a good sign for our future." When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out，customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.
     For now，the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States.However，the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.
