A．writer’s grandmother                               B．writer

C．Writer’s great―aunt                                          D．writer’s grandparent

In 1947 she went on the passenger airplane (民航飞机)．This made traveling a lot easier, and quicker! She continued to teach around the world until she was 75．I always loved to hear her talk about her 1ife．She really loved teaching．Her stories were so interesting．She remembered everything even though she was so old．I think it was because she never stopped working and thinking．My great―aunt was truly an amazing woman．

Great―aunt Ivy was my grandmother’s sister and she was an amazing(令人惊讶的) woman．She was born in 1901．She died a few years ago, when she was 99 years old．It was sad that she didn’t live to celebrate her 100th birthday, but she had a good, long life．

She never married．She was a career (职业) woman in the days before many women had jobs．She was a teacher in Africa for many years．Then she moved to Malaysia and taught there for a few years．At that time people didn’t travel by airplane, so she had to travel by ship．It took three months to sail from England to Malaysia in those days．
