　　Our world is getting smaller and smaller.Miss Yamada，whose plane could cover 800 kilometers an hour，flew around the world in less than fifty hours.The newest planes could go 600 miles(one mile equals 1.609 kilometers)an hour，and we are now developing planes that are even faster.

　　But it used to take a lot longer to go around the world.Magellan's men were the first to make the trip.It took them more than two years to do so by ship.

　　Magellan was from Portugal，but he sailed for the king of Spain.On September 20，1519，he left Spain with five ships and 240 men.After passing the south tip of South America，they reached the Pacific Ocean，on which they sailed more than one year.Very often they could not see a piece of land for months and they suffered greatly from the lack of food and fresh water.Many of them died of hunger and diseases.They even had to live on sawdust(锯末)．Finally in April 1521，Magellan got to the Philippine Islands，where he was killed.His men fled and continued their voyage across the Indian Ocean.It was with the greatest difficulty that they passed the Cape of Good Hope.By the time they returned to Spain on December 21，1521，seven out of every eight men had died.Magellan's voyage proved that men could sail around the world and that our earth is but a huge ball.
