Douglas Corrigan had a dream. He wanted to fly a plane across the Atlantic Ocean by himself. He bought a used airplane. Then he asked for permission (允许) to fly it across the ocean. People from the government looked at his shabby, old plane. They said no because the plane didn"t look safe enough to make the trip smooth. Sometime later Corrigan asked for permission to fly from New York to California without stopping. This time the answer was yes. Comgan climbed into his plane early one morning in July of 1938. His gas tank (油箱) was full. He had a box of cookies. He waved good-bye and took off. Comgan didn"t go west to California, though. Instead, he headed northeast. Twenty-six hours later, he landed in Dublin, Ireland. He had flown the Atlantic Ocean after all. What happened? According to Corrigan, the needle (针) on his compass (罗盘) was pointed the wrong way. Comgan"s dream had come true. Was it an accident, or did he plan it? No one but "Wrong Way" Corrigan knows for sure. |

He was so well-known for his wide knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him. The great man taught his students wholeheartedly and answered their questions with great patience. One day a student asked him,"My dear teacher,didn"t you say you yourself have many,many more questions about things than we do? On the contrary (恰恰相反) ,we students have far more than you. " With a smile,the teacher drew two circles-one as large as a big wheel. the other smaller. "Of course,l"ve learned much more. But a teacher does not necessarily (必然地) have fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. Within the big one is my knowledge of things, and within the smaller one yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is lager, the line that marks out (划出......的界限) the circle is longer. That means I have more chances to face what is still unknown.
