Every day since March 8, people all over the world keep asking the same question: Where did Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 go? It turns out to be the biggest mystery in modern aviation (航空) history.
In the early hours of March 8, a Boeing 777 took off from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur (吉隆坡). It was heading to Beijing. But about two hours into the flight, the plane lost contact. There were 239 people on board the Malaysia Airlines flight, including 154 Chinese.
About 12 countries, including China, the US and Australia, have joined the search for the missing plane and passengers. The plane’s disappearance was a “mystery”, said officials. The plane was flying at a height of more than 10,000 meters when it suddenly lost contact. The weather was clear. The pilots didn’t make any distress calls (求救信号). When a plane crashes, broken parts are usually recovered. But up to April 2, officials have not found anything.
People are also talking about a possible hijacking. Interpol (国际刑警组织) said that two people on the flight used stolen passports. But that information alone isn’t evidence(证据) of a hijack.
The investigation (调查) is still going on. It could take months or even years to find out what happened to the flight.
“We are looking at all possibilities,” said Malaysian Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein. “The most important thing now is to find the plane.”
On March 24 came a piece of sad news. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said that the plane “ended in the southern Indian Ocean”. Everyone on the plane died. But the mystery is still not solved. Nobody is giving up. China has said it will work hard to find out the truth at all costs.

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training.
“Mr. Tanaka,” the boy finally asked, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves？”
“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” his teacher replied.
Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). The boy won his first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his own success.
This time, his opponent (对手) was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. The referee (裁判) wanted to stop the match.
“No,” the teacher insisted, “let him continue.” Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment the boy used his move to pin (钉住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion.
On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.
“Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”
“You won for two reasons,” his teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense (防守) for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”
