Flying into History
When you turn on the television or read a magazine, celebrities (名人) are everywhere. Although fame and the media play such major roles in our lives today, it has not always been that way.
______【46】Many historians agree that Charles Lindbergh was one of the first major celebrities, or superstars.
Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1902, but he grew up in Little Falls, Minnesota. As a child, he was very interested in how things worked, so when he reached college, he pursued a degree in engineering.

During the same time, a wealthy hotel owner named Raymond Orteig was offering a generous a-ward to the first pilot who could fly nonstop from New York City to Paris, France. The Orteig Prize was worth $25 , 000—a large amount even by today’s standards.
Lindbergh knew he had the skills to compete the flight, but not just any plane was capable of flying that far for that long.______【49】

When he returned to the United States, Lindbergh rode in a ticker-tape(热烈的) parade held to celebrate his accomplishment.______【50】A very popular dance was even named for Charles
Lindbergh—the Lindy Hop. Today, The Spirit of St. Louis is kept at the Smithsonian Institute’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D. C.
