7、eakingairsafetyrules.让梦想起飞当拉里沃尔特是个孩子时,他的梦想是不寻常的:他想飞。然而不寻常的是他实现梦想的方式。从学校毕业后,拉里就加入美国空军,但由于视力不佳他未能参加飞行训练。尽管如此,他从未放弃他的梦想。33岁的拉里不是一名飞行员,而是洛杉矶的一名司机。一天,当拉里坐在花园的椅上时,突然有了一个奇怪的想法。当他看到气象探测气球从头顶飞过,他决定用气象探测气球来飞行。几个星期后,拉里买了42个直径为1米的气象探测气球。他把气球绑在椅子上并充满氮气。然后,他坐在椅子上,带了一些啤酒,三明治和一支BB枪。拉里计划在他家后院飞上10米左右的位置,好好在空中
8、享受几小时,然后用枪击破一些气球就可以回到地面。但事情并不是按拉里预期的进行。当朋友们切断绳子,拉里就被42个气球拉起,并快速地飞向高空。最后他停在海拔4000米的高度上。担心击破一些气球会使他的“飞行器”失去平衡,拉里又冷又怕,与他的啤酒和三明治在空中坐了14个小时。拉里停留在空中迫使许多飞机改变航线。最终他不得不击破了几个气球慢慢地下降,停在电线上。最后,拉里安全地爬了下来,随即被等候的警方逮捕了。当记者问他为什么会那样做,拉里答道:“一个人只是不能坐等。”拉里实现了梦想,而且创造了一项以充气气球飞行的记录。但他因违反空中安全条例不得不上交1500美金的罚款。重点单词:1.ball
