Amelia Earhart 
1. _____D_______ 
 Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas. At three years old she went to live with 
her grandparents who lived fifty miles away. Amelia was a tomboy, and loved snow sledding and climbing trees. She 
lived with her grandparents until she was ten. At ten she moved back with her parents and her younger sister, Muriel. 
2. ______G______ 
 Amelia saw her first airplane at the 1908 Iowa State Fair. At this fair, there was a stuntflying exhibition, and it 
fascinated Amelia. It was here, as she watched these planes twirling and swooshing, that Amelia fell in love with the 
idea of flying. Amelia actually had to wait thirteen years to take her first ride in a plane, and just six months after that, 
she bought her first plane. It was bright yellow and she called it Canary. 
3. _____F_______ 
 Amelia was very competitive, and entered many flying contests over the next several years. She continually 
broke the records of other pilots. To mention just a few: 
In June of 1928, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. 
In May of 1932, she became the second person to fly solo across the Atlantic. 
From August 24 to 25, 1932, she flew a solo nonstop flight from the west coast of the United States to the east coast, 
making her the first woman to do that. 
From April 24 to 25, 1935, she was the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California. 
4. ______B______ 
 At the age of forty, in 19337, Amelia Earhart wanted to be the first woman to fly around the world. She and her 
navigator took off from Oakland, California, and flew to Miami, then through the Caribbean to Brazil and through Africa 
to India. After India, they flew to Bangkok, Indonesia, Australia, and then Papua New Guinea. From Papua New Guinea, 
they flew toward Howard Island, 2,200 miles away. They never arrived, and despite extensive searches, they were never 
found. 
 No one knows for sure what happened to Amelia and her navigator, but the world knows that Amelia is one of 
the most important and influential pilots in history. 
Exercise 7 : Read the passage carefully, and do the tasks that follow. 
 Working mothers are the ones who move out of the house for the purpose of earning money and also maintain 
household chores. Every woman at home prefers to work in order to balance the financial and the other basic needs of 
the family. 
 The children of working mothers become smarter, more active, and more independent as compared to the 
children of non-working mothers. This is because of the fact that the mothers being working have to move out of the 
house leaving all the household chores intact, the children understand their responsibilities and manage to do all their 
tasks without being dependent on others, so they become smart, active, and independent enough. 
 The working mothers arc now helped by their husbands in household chores after returning from work. By 
seeing fathers being a helping hand to mothers, children learn good habits and inculcate manners of helping others as 
well as their mothers, thus in this way good habits are inculcated in them.
