In 1883，an engineer named John Roebling intended to build a bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. 36 ，experts throughout the world thought it impossible and not 37 .
Roebling couldn’t 38 the vision in his mind of this bridge. He knew deep in his heart it could be done. He just had to 39 the dream with someone else. After much persuasion he managed to 40 his son Washington，a young engineer，that the bridge 41 could be built.
Working together，the father and son developed concepts of 42 it could be accomplished and how the difficulties could be 43 . With great 44 and inspiration，they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well，but unfortunately an accident took the life of John. Washington was injured and left with a brain damage， 45 him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
Everyone had a 46 comment to make and felt the project should be trashed. In 47 of his disability，Washington still had a burning 48 to complete the bridge and his mind was still as 49 as ever.
He tried to pass on his 50 to some of his friends. Suddenly an idea 51 him as he lay in hospital. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best 52 of it. By moving this，he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. He used the method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish 53 the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm，until the Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die 54 that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and 55 an impossible goal.

In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before.
But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again.
"We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It's foolish to chase wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.
Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping it on his wife's arm, he slowly developed a code to communicate with her. Then he used this method to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed.
Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances.

4._ What can we learn about Washington's wife?
A. She knew sign language very well.
B. She was devoted to her husband.
C. She developed a code to communicate with her husband.
