What were the Wright brothers trying to do in the first place?
W: John, you know a lot about the history of flying. And the Wright broth- ers are known as the first men to fly an airplane. Can you tell us what their purposes were in the beginning?
M: I think in the beginning they were looking for a chance to be famous. I don’t think they were sure about what they were able to achieve.
W: Could either of them have done it alone?
M: Neither brother could have flown alone. It was the work of two minds. Two minds that came together at some point and became one. That’s what happened.
W: What did the people in the neighborhood think of the Wright brothers?
M: Most people were interested in the Wright brothers. But I think some of them were worried. You see, here are two men flying kites in the mid- dle of the day when they should be working. The men, I think, were curious about what was going on there. The children were excited to see these two men flying kites just like they were children. But I think the women were afraid.
选项
