It was an early morning in summer. In the streets, sleepy-eyed people were moving quickly, heading 1 towards their jobs .This was the beginning of another ordinary day in New York City. But this day was to be different.
Waiting above the crowded streets, on top of a building 110 stories high, was Philippe Pettit. This daring 2 Frenchman 3 was about to walk a tightrope(绷索)between the two towers of the World Trade Center.
Philippe took his first step with great care. The wire held. Now he was sure he could do it. With only a balancing polar 4, Philippe walked his way across, a distance of 131 feet.
Soon the rush-hour crowds began to notice. What a wonder!There,1350 feet above the street, a tiny figure was walking on air.
Philippe made seven trips, back and forth(来回).He wasn't satisfied 5 with just walking. At times, he would turn, sit down, and even go on his knees. Once, he had the astonishing 6 courage to lie down on the thin thread. And thousands of terrified 7 watchers stared with their hearts beating fast.
After the forty-five-minute show, Philippe was taken to the police station. He was asked why he did it. Philippe shrugged(耸肩)and said, "When I see two tall buildings, I walk."[NMET94]
简析:故事,描述Philippe在纽约世贸大厦高空走钢丝的场景。
