再來讀一遍完整的文章：

The first successful airplane flight happened in 1903。 By the I950s， planes were carrying passengers over oceans and across the country in just hours。 Before airplanes were invented， people tried to figure out how to make them work。 It was only after gasoline engines were invented that inventors were able to not only make airplanes fly， but make them go long distances and carry many people。

Planes fly by pushing the air around them。 The friction between the air and the plane slows the plane down。 This is why planes have slim， streamlined shapes。 Each part of the plane has a purpose。 The engine pushes out air and propels the plane forward。 The wings generate lift， which is a kind of force that helps the plane fly。 The flaps on the wings adjust the direction the plane flies by using air resistance。 Pilots adjust the flaps on the wings to steer the plane。 The tail keeps the plane stable as it flies through the air。

A large commercial airplane flies at about 900 miles per hour！ It can fly from New York to California in less than six hours。 It would take a car ±1 hours to drive that distance！ That is a reason why over 600 million people flew in airplanes last year。 Airplanes are amazing！
