Recently, a solar powered (太阳能动力的) plane took to the sky for the first time. It had passed an
important test on the way to travel around the world.
The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland (瑞士) at 45km an hour. It slowly rose above the
fields and into the sky.
"There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly - never an airplane so big, so light, using
so little energy," said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight, the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside.
Engineers plan to test a night flight before July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a
second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.
The plane flies at 70 km an hour. That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. Piccard and pilot Andre
Borschberg will take the plane around the world. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days
at a time.
"We want to fly it day and night with no fuel (燃料)," Piccard said.
B. 60 minutes
C. 70 minutes
D. 90 minutes
B. It's the fastest plane
C. It can fly highest
D. It's the heaviest plane
B. The plane took off at a speed of 45km an hour
C. Engineers plan to test a night flight before July
D. The plane will fly in the air or up to five days at a time
B. Scientist and Technology
C. Culture and Communication
D. Sports and Entertainment

A
People say that George Washington, the first president of the United States, never told a lie. But it seems that the president was not without faults.
A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 1789. He didn’t return them.
If he were still alive, he would have to pay the library ＄300,000 for being 220 years late.
On October 5, 1789, when the first president borrowed the books form the New York Society Library, he didn’t sign his name in the borrower’s book. He just wrote “president” to show who had taken them out.
The two books should have been brought back a month later but were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing.
The New York Society Library doesn’t expect anyone to pay the fine. But it hopes that someone will return the books.
