Although fame and the media play such major roles in our lives today, it has not always been that way.

As a child, he was very interested in how things worked, so when he reached college he pursued a degree in engineering. At the age of 20, however, the allure(诱惑) of flying captured Lindbergh's imagination. (27) Soon after, Lindbergh bought his own plane and traveled across the nation performing aerial stunts（空中特技） In 1924, Lindbergh became more serious about flying. He joined the United States military and graduated first in his pilot class. (28) During the same time, a wealthy hotel owner named Raymond Orteig was offering a generous award to the first pilot who could fly nonstop from New York City to Paris, France. The Prize was worth $25,000-a large amount even by today's standards. Lindbergh knew he had the skills to complete the flight, but not just any plane was capable of flying that far for that long._(29) On May 20, 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in New York City and arrived the next day at an airstrip(简易机场) outside Paris. Named in honor of the sponsor, The Spirit of St. Louis carried Lindbergh across the Atlantic Ocean and into the record books. He became a national hero and a huge celebrity. When he returned to the United States, Lindbergh rode in a ticker-tape(热烈的) parade held to celebrate his accomplishment.(30) A very popular dance was even named for Charles Lindbergh--Lindy Hop Today, The Spirit of St Louis is and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

31、The First Four Minutes When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, Contact: The first four minutes, he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:“ _26_A lot of people' s whole lives would change if they did just that.” You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. _27_If anyone has ever done this to you; you probably did not like him very much. When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident.In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves.” On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes. Hearing such advice, one might say. "But I' m not a friendly self-confident person. That' s not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way.” 28_We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one." But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don' t actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships2, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one' s health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one' s opinions and impressions. 29 For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later. The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading writing, and mathematics. _30_That is at least as important as how much we know.
