On July2, 1937, Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 81 around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had to

f 82 at 3,000 metres. Goin

g this high, the plane used fuel quickly.

After about 20 h 83 , Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 84

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 85 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 86 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 87 the flight, she probably moved in the wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 88 to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飞机失事), s 89 to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).

Till now, none of these i 90 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.”

Many people say dolphins are very intelligent (聪颖的). They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they c 81 like humans or more like cats or dogs? Scientists say dolphin intelligence is s 82 to human intelligence in some ways. How?

Like humans, every dolphin has a “name”. I 83 is a special whistle (哨声). Scientists think dolphins, li ke people. “t 84 ” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system (系统) of sounds and body language to c 85 . But understanding their conversations is not easy for hum ans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.

Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often come to play games from

different groups and have f 86 , just like people. In fact, playing t 87 is something only intelligent animals do.

Dolphins and humans b 88 make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, dolphins use an interesting way to get food. When fish are n 89 a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets (网) in the water. And the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins? Why do they h 90 the men? The dolphins can get some of the fish.

He shouted at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there should be s86 inside it?”

The little girl looked up at him with t 87 in her eyes and said, “Oh, Daddy. I blew kisses in t he box. I filled it with my l 88 . All for you, Daddy.”
