In 1883, an engineer named John Roebling got an idea to build a bridge between New York and Long Island. However, bridge-building experts around the world thought that it was impossible. It had never been done before.
After much discussion, he made his son Washington, a great engineer, believe that the bridge could be built.
The project started well, but a few months later, an accident took the life of John Roebling. Washington was badly hurt and he was not able to walk or talk. However, Washington never lost his heart. He still wanted to complete the bridge. But all he could do was to move one finger. So he decided to make the best use of it. By moving his finger, he slowly developed a way of communicating with his wife.
He touched his wife's arm with his finger, “telling” her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same way to tell the engineers what to do. The project carried on again.
For 13 years, Washington tapped out (敲出) his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the Brooklyn Bridge stands as a monument(纪念碑) to one man's unbeatable spirit.
It is also a monument to engineers and their teamwork, and to their faith in a man who was considered crazy by half the world.
a. An accident happened.
b. John wanted to build a bridge.
c. The bridge was completed 13 years later.
d. Washington agreed to help build the bridge.
e. Washington used his finger to communicate with his wife and the engineers.
