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'.

训练任务：L0+L1+L2+L4

训练感想：今儿的花的时间较长，现在差不多每篇花费2个小时左右够了，再中间利用零散的时间练习听力，马上要加入新概念一的成长会群了，期待，看任务了，目前新三的任务暂时不能停了，看情况得安排侧重点了，以新一为准，打基础，戒骄戒躁。
