27、e a typist anyway, she dreamed of becoming a pilot! Amy moved to London, borrowed some money, and learned to fly. Nobody, however, wanted to hire a woman pilot. She decided to fly alone to Australia to prove that she could fly as well as any man. Her parents lent her money to buy an airplane. Amy se

28、t off on May 5, 1930. Her route (道路，路线 ) took her over Vienna, Constantinople, and Baghdad. She was caught in a sandstorm and had to make a sudden landing in the desert.

32、njoy. At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the childrens museum in New York, you can play an African dram. There are no “Do Not Touch“ signs in many museums in the USA. More and more museum directors have realized tha

33、t people can learn best when they become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so that they can discover scientific rules for themselves. The purpose is not only to interest the visitors, but also help them feel at hom

34、e in the world of science. If people dont understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it. One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time. Another cause is the growing number of young people in the popul

35、ation. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in quite a new different way. They want art in which they can take part. The same is true of science and history. The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modem museums. Th

I always

40、encourage such people, but I also explain that there is a big difference between “being a writer“ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at the typewriter. “You want to write,“ I say to them, “not want to be a writer.“ The reality is th

41、at writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying profession, for not every writer is kissed by future. There are thousands whose expectation is never rewarded.

42、 a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.

43、ory that I hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering: what if?

The system of global rules for international trade, however, date

49、s back half a century to 1948 when the Geneva Agreement on Tariffs and Trade GATT (关贸总协定期 ) was founded after World War .
