L17-2：The longest suspension bridge in the world
Two great towers support four huge cables. The towers are built on immense underwater platforms make of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has been estimated that if the bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity. However, size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge. Despite its immensity, it is both simple and elegant, fulfilling its designer's dream to create 'an enormous object drawn as faintly as possible'.

任务配置：L0+L4
笔记：cable缆索，concrete混泥土，estimate估计，immensity巨大，eleagant优美别致的，faintly微细的
感悟：最近比较负能量，越学越觉得自己懂得太少，不敢表达，不太自信，有点动摇了，看来需要打点鸡血才行。
