Amelia Earhart was born in Kansas in 1897. Thirty one years later, she received a phone call that would

plane. The flight took more than 20 hours – about three times longer than it routinely takes today to cross
the Atlantic by plane. Earhart was twelve years old before she ever saw an airplane, and she didn’t take
her first flight until 1920. But she was so thrilled by her first experience in a plane that she quickly began to
take flying lessons. She wrote, “As soon as I left the ground, I knew I myself had to fly.”

more and she was the undisputed queen of the air. She then wanted to fly around the world, and in June 
1973 she left Miami with Fred Noonan as her navigator. No one knows why she left behind important
communication and navigation instruments. Perhaps it was to make room for additional fuel for the long 
flight. The pair made it to New Guinea in 21 days and then left for Howland Island, a tiny island in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean. The last communication from Earhart and Noonan was on July 2, 1937 with a

thecorrect answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

In 1812 a young man called James Barry finished his studies in medicine at Edinburgh University.
After graduating he moved to London where he studied surgery at Guy's Hospital. After that the popular
young doctor joined the army and over the next forty years had a brilliant career as an army medical
officer, working in many far-off countries and fighting successfully for improved conditions in hospitals. It
was a remarkable career - made even more remarkable by the discovery upon his death that he was in 
fact a she. James Barry was a woman.

</div>
(4)<div class='page_container' data-page=4>

By all accounts Barry was a pleasant and good humoured person with high cheekbones, reddish
hair, a long nose and large eyes. She was well-liked by her patients and had a reputation for great speed
in surgery - an important quality at a time when operations were performed without anaesthetic.She was
also quick tempered. When she was working in army hospitals and prisons overseas, the terrible condition
often made her very angry. She fought hard against injustice and cruelty and hertemper sometimes got
her intotrouble with the authority.After a long career overseas, she returned to Londonwhere she died in
1865.While the undertaker's assistant was preparing her body for burial, she discovered that James Barry
was a woman.

So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time woman could not study medicine,

work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry had always wanted to do these things and pretending to
be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was going to tell the truth one day,but didn't
because she was enjoying her life as a man too much. Whatever the reason, Barry's deception was
successful. By the time it was discovered that she had been the first woman in Britain to quality as a
doctor, it was too late for the authorities to do anything aboutit.

After that flight Earhart became a media sensation. She was given a ticker tape parade down Broadway 
in New York and even president Coolidge called to congratulate her. Because her record – breaking
career and physical appearance were similar to pioneering pilot and American hero Charles Lindbergh,
she earned the nickname “Lady Lindy.” She wrote a book about her flight across the Atlantic, called 20
Hrs, 40 Min.

Earhart continued to break records, and also polished her skills as a speaker and writer, always
advocating women’s achievements, especially in aviation. Her next goal was to achieve a transatlantic
crossing alone. In 1927 Charles Lindbergh became the first person to make a solo nonstop flight across
the Atlantic. Five years later, Earhart became the first woman to repeat that feat. Her popularity grew even
more and she was the undisputed queen of the air. She then wanted to fly around the world, and in June

No one was more surprised at this discovery than her many friends and colleagues. It was true that

officer had even objected to her appointment as a medical assistant because he could not believe that 
Barry was old enough to have graduated in medicine. But no one had ever seriously suggested that Barry
was anything other than a man.

So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time woman could not study medicine,
