1.The story"Building Bridges"is about a girl who lives with her grandmother,Mama Lil,and who dreams of someday becoming an engineer.The girl is now waiting for her grandmother to sign an agreement for her to take part in a summer program-a bridge project (工程)-in which a group of students would work with a team of engineers to help fix the Brooklyn Bridge.
Ahead,in the distance,stood t he Brooklyn Bridge.I'd come to this place and studied the bridge a million times.And on every one of those times,I was taken by what I'd come to call Brooklyn Belle.I never got tired of looking out at Belle,who carried all kinds of people to all kinds of places,day after day.
On a cloudless night like this one,she was a sight like no other sight in the whole city.She was so beautiful.My heart was full of energy.I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out my pencil.I looked through my sketchbook (速写簿).I'd drawn Belle in the high-noon light,on snowy days,and on early mornings.My favorite sketches were those of Belle during rush hour.
Tonight I sketched slowly at first,then faster.I was proud of my drawings-I liked to think of them as portraits (肖像),but each page showed a sad truth about Belle:She had become old.She was some forty years older than Mama Lil.She should be as lovely as she had been.That bridge project needed me,and I needed it.
