In 1929, three years after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R. E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty.

1929年，美国探险家理查德·伯德首次成功飞越南极。三年前，他已经飞越过北极。 起初，伯德和同伴还能拍下许多下方山脉的照片，可很快就遇到了大麻烦。一度，他们的飞机眼看就要坠毁了。 只有升到一万英尺，飞机才能越过这些山脉。 伯德立刻命令同伴扔掉两大袋沉重的食物。飞机这才升了上去，从山顶上方四百英尺处飞过。 这时，伯德知道他们能到达三百英里外的南极了，因为目光所及已没有山脉。飞机顺利飞过了无边无际的白色平原。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《飞越南极》：首次飞越南极 → 途中面临坠机危险 → 必须飞到足够高 → 扔掉食物，升高飞机 → 前方再无高山阻挡。再借一个结构讲自己的事：找出本课被打破的预期，再用同样关系说自己的一个经历。
