阅读理解 At the age of 17 years 64 days, Mack Rutherford has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone! Mack's journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane. Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally (确实地) couldn't land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety. And if Mack's surname "Rutherford" sounds familiar, it's because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings (兄弟姐妹) were inspired by their parents to become pilots. "I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven," Mack said, "My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational private pilot." Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, "No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn't limit yourself by others' expectations." With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it's time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork! （1） What can we know about Mack's flight? A .
