【题目】 REACHING FOR THE SKY

In 2007, Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly solo（独自）around the world. He was just 23 years old. How did the young man achieve this?

A PASSION FOR FLYING

A turning point happened when he was 15. Irving was working in Miami, Florida. One of the store's customers was Gary Robinson, a professional pilot. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. The next day, the pilot took Irving to an airport and showed Irving inside the cockpit of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving's life.

Irving was determined to fly. To reach his dream, he worked different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. He also helped at a store. At home, he practiced his flying skills on a video game. Finally, he earned enough money for flight school.

CIRCLING THE WORLD

At flight school, Irving achieved his first dream-he learned how to fly. His next dream was bigger. He planned to build his own plane and fly solo around the world. On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days-with 145 hours in the air-he landed back in Miami. Irving achieved his dream once again.

SHARING THE DREAM

When he landed, Irving saw many young people in the cheering crowd. This gave him an idea：“I had no money, but I was determined to give back with my time, knowledge and experience." Irving decided to start a program called “Experience Aviation." The program helps young people achieve their career dreams in aviation（航空）and science.

“Everyone told me what I couldn't do,” says Irving. "They said I was too young, that I didn't have enough money, experience, strength, or knowledge.［But] even if no one believes in your dream, " he says, "you have to, for it."
