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'.

练习感悟:1.认清自己，认清事物的本质，你想要得到什么就付出什么，端正自己心态平和，才会有质的飞跃。

2.别人让你去做的事情，多半会有抵触情绪，别人不是你，自己发自内心明白想要什么去付出才会成长。
