Amy Johnson was a very ambitious and energetic person.(16)She didn’t have much in common with other girls in her school, however. She played football better than most boys did and unfortunately, she made a rather bad impression on many of her teachers. Amy just didn’t act as they thought a girl should. She studied at a university and later took a job as a typist. Although she was enthusiastic and did her best, she made many mistakes and was poorly paid.
She didn’t want to be 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 female pilot. She decided to fly alone to Australia to prove that she could fly as well as any man. Her parents lent her the money to buy an airplane. Amy set off on May 5th, 1930. Her route took her over Vienna, Constantinople, and Baghdad. She was caught in a thunderstorm and had to make an emergency landing in the desert.(17)However she landed in India 6 days later. She had broken the record to India by 2 days. Over Burma, she ran into a storm and was able to save herself only by landing in a football field. She finally reached Australia. The plane engine had been broken during her last landing, and she had to crush land.(18)However Amy had proved that she could fly and that a woman could do anything she really put her mind to. Amy Johnson later married the pilot who had come to her rescue in Australia.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What was TRUE about Amy before she began flying?
17. What was the record of flying from Europe to India before Amy broke it?
18. What was the significance of Amy’s flying across the world?
