    On July 2,1937,Amelia Earhart ( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific.ITiis was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 1   around the world.Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off.The weather was very bad,so she had to f 2  at 3,000 metres.Going this high,the plane used fuel quickly.

    After about 20 h 3  ,Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island.The island was o 4  about 65 miles (英里) away,but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland,a ship was w 5   for the plane.Earhart contacted the ship:“We don't have enough fuel”’she said.The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 6   got no answer.Finally,the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However,they found nothing.

    What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 7   the flight,she probably moved in the wrong direction (方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 8   to see.So she got lost;soon after,her plane ran out of fuel,and she died al sea.Another idea is that she survived (幸存) the plane crash (飞机失事) ,s 9   to a lonely island,and later died there.Still others think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity (身份) .

    Till now,none of these i 10   has been proved.People are still wondering about them. (Noonan's body has never been found either.) No matter what happened,Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go”’she said ,“I'd like best to go in my plane."
