Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion (场合) she set a new record for flying time. In 1935 she became the first person ever to fly from Hawaii to the continental (大陆的) United States. In the same year she also became the first person to fly without stopping from Mexico City to Newark, New Jersey, just a few miles from New York City. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that women had a place in aviation (飞行) and that air travel was useful.

And finally,“Gas (汽油) low…” and then, silence(寂静).
