答案：In 1883, John Roebling, a creative engineer, got an inspiration to build a bridge across the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City. However, bridge building experts thought it was only a 1) fantasy and told him to forget about it. Roebling, nevertheless, convinced his son, Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge could be built. The two of them discussed in detail how it could be accomplished and how to overcome the obstacles 2) confronting them. Somehow they convinced bankers to finance the project and work started on their dream bridge. The project was only a few months under way when an on-site accident killed John Roebling and left his son Washington seriously injured. Everyone was 3) scared and believed that the project would have to be stopped, since the Roeblings were the only ones who understood how the bridge could be built. Washington Roebling was unable to move or talk. But 4) on the other hand, his mind was as sharp as ever. One day as he lay in his hospital bed, an idea flashed across his mind that he could use a code to communicate with his wife. All he could move was one finger, so he tapped out the code on the arm of his wife. His wife would then pass on his instructions to the engineers working on the bridge. For 13 years, Washington tapped out his orders with one finger, overcoming 5) numerous obstacles. Because of his6) determination/dedication and 7) dedication/determination, the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed. To this day the Brooklyn Bridge has remained one of the8) highlights of New York City.
