17、bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought this was impossible, but Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and co

18、ming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. The project started well, but only a few months later a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or ev

19、en move. “Crazy men and their crazy dreams.” “Its foolish to chase(追求) wild visions.” Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt the project should be abandoned since the Roeblings were the only ones to know how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap, Washington was never discoura

20、ged.One day he was lying on his bed in hospital, seeing the sky and the tops of the trees outside, and a gentle breeze blowing the white curtains apart when an idea hit him. He decided to make the best use of the only finger he could move. Slowly he developed a code of communication with his wife. H

21、e touched his wifes arm with that finger, indicating that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his fi

22、nger on his wifes arm until the bridge was finally completed. 56. Which of the following is true of Washington and his father?A. They are curious and modest. B. They are stubborn and craszy.C.

But thats what book lovers have in store, with the San Diego Ci

26、ty College International Book Fair concluding this weekend and the County Library Book Festival running all day Oct. 9. “Whatever the format, its still a writer putting pen to paper or tapping their fingers on keyboards,” said Liz Hildreth, co-chair of the library festival. “Its still authors, still

27、 stories, still books. We hope what the festival tells us is that books are a real part of peoples lives. That books are still important.”So important, organizers say, that one day they hope to rival (竞争) festivals in other places that routinely draw more than 100,000 people and feature hundreds of

28、top writers across virtually every literary genre.Now in its fifth year, the weeklong City College International Book Festival attracted about 150 people to its Sept. 24 opening night. The featured author was Laurel Corona, a professor at the school who writes historical fiction. “Festivals are just

29、 fun, for readers and authors,” said Corona, one of the experts at the county library event. “They create excitement about books in general. People wander, discover authors they might never find otherwise.”Moore Susan, community relations manager for the county library system, said going to festival

30、s changed her view that “owning a book was enough. I went and heard authors like (childrens writer) Chris Raschka. He added depth and meaning to what I had read, brought new ideas forward that I had no clue about.”“Were doing it because we love books, we love reading, and because our customers are a

31、sking us all the time for author events,” Moore said. “People really do long to make those connections.” 61. Book festivals in San Diego _.

In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eig

35、hteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happine

36、ss, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped shar

37、ply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get ol

38、der. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe e

39、ven changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women hav

47、rovide a series of practical courses leading to a Masters degree.
