In May 1927, Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly non-stop across the Atlantic
Ocean from New York to Paris. This was a milestone in aviation history. In the years before his
epic journey, Lindbergh had made hundreds of air-mail delivery flights from St. Louis to many
parts of the United States. It was during one of these flights that he invented the idea of flying solo
across the Atlantic. Flying alone in all kinds of weather, he believed he could do what no one else
had been able to do successfully. He named his aircraft the Spirit of St Louis and supervised every
detail of production and testing before the flight. Extra fuel tanks had to be fitted, which made the
aircraft very difficult to fly. It was so extremely uncomfortable, because the cockpit was small and
cramped. But, Lindbergh was an aviator with immense courage and determination, who refused to
give in to fatigue on the long thirty-three and a half hour flight to Paris. The Spirit of St Louis is
now permanent display in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington. Aviation has come a
long way since Lindbergh’s groundbreaking flight. 【題組】45. In line 9, the word “immense” means
(A) massive. (B) miniature. (C) great. (D) enormous.

A word first coined in 1918, but rarely used today, may become a more frequently used part of
the English lexicon. That word is "hangry," which is a combination of the words "hungry" and
"angry". It means to be bad tempered or irritable as a result of hunger. The word is making a
comeback because of research that suggests "hanger" is a diagnosable feeling. Researchers believe
"hangriness" could be a genuine medical phenomenon. Scientists from the UK's Anglia Ruskin
University examined how hunger affects emotions during our daily lives. Lead author Professor
Viren Swami said the research indicated a strong link between hunger and feelings of anger,
irritability, or low pleasure. The researchers analyzed data from 64 volunteers aged between 18 and 60. The participants
had to complete surveys on a smartphone app five times a day for 21 days. The app helped people
to give researchers real-time information on their feelings when they were hungry. Dr. Swami
explained this provided a "meaningful" link between hunger and emotions. He said that the results
of the study suggested that the experience of being hangry is real. He added: "We show, for the first
time in a non-laboratory setting, that feeling hungry is associated with greater anger, irritability and
lower levels of pleasure." He suggested that if people knew they were hangry, they could control
their anger better. 【題組】49. According to the passage, what is hunger linked to, besides anger?

【題組】50. Which of the following is Not true?
(A) The word "hangry" is made up of the words "hungry" and "angry."
(B) A coin with the word "hangry" was made in 1918.
(C) Data from an app was sent to researchers after 24 hours.
(D) Survey participants said there were hungry about five times a day.
