[ti:新概念英語(yǔ)第二冊(cè)] [by:http://m.42bites.com] [00:02.83]Lesson 72 [00:04.00] A car called Bluebird [00:07.41]First listen and then answer the question: [00:12.07]What mistake was made? [00:15.91]The great racing driver,Sir Malcolm Campbell, [00:20.07]was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. [00:26.49]He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats,Utah. [00:36.76]Bluebird,the car he was driving,had been specially built for him. [00:43.34]It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine. [00:50.67]Although Campbell reached a speed ofover 304 miles per hour, [00:57.03]he had great difficulty in controlling the car [01:00.16]because a tyre burst during the first run [01:04.80]After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn [01:10.25]that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. [01:15.79]However,a few days later,he was told that a mistake had been made. [01:22.33]His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. [01:28.68]Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour. [01:35.77]Following in his father's footsteps many years later Sir Malcolm's son,Donald, [01:43.07]also set up a world record. [01:46.20]Like his father,he was driving a car called Bluebird.
