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.

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.
