He landed his small plane in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, on Wednesday. That is also where he started his trip five months ago. His trip, which started in Sofia on a plane owned by the Internet company ICDSoft on March 23, took Rutherford through 52 countries across five continents. The plane, called Shark, can travel at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Normally a two-seater, the plane was changed for his long trip by replacing the second seat with an extra fuel container(容器). Rutherford first planned to make the trip in three months. But it lasted longer because of several barriers, including rainstorms, sandstorms and extreme heat. Most of the delays were caused by waiting to get permits and other documents required for keeping with the flight plan. The flight took him through Africa and the Gulf area to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 straight hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico. On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people welcomed Rutherford. His father, Sam Rutherford, told reporters that such an event helps show other children they should follow their dreams. His sister, Zara, said, “While he was flying, I often tried to keep in touch with him. Our parents called him every day, and I joined in those conversations. I advised him about the route and the flight so that I could assist him.” 1. What do we know about Shark? A.It belongs to ICDSoft. B.It can seat three people. C.It has two normal containers.
