Craig Blackburn,a father and car fan,built a Batmobile for his son's hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children.And now he hopes to use it for more than just his son's hope after seeing the children's reaction to the Batmobile.
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups,he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.
Mr.Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing.It started with importing an outer shell overseas,before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car.With the help of his friend,Mr.Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.
Mr.Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower(噴火器)onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight.Though Mr.Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction,in September 2019,the car made its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba,before being used by Blackburn's son for his hope.
"It was great.It was so good to see the kids' and adults' excitement at seeing the Batmobile," Mr.Blackburn said.As a result,the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible,so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.

1.When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically(魔術(shù)般) appear.
All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch(門(mén)廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
(1)Mr.Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer
A.to show his magical power
B.to pay for the delivery
C.to satisfy his curiosity
D.to please his mother
(2)What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?
A.He wanted to have tea there.
B.He was a respectable person.
C.He was treated as a family member.
D.He was fully trusted by the family.
(3)Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B.It has been driven out of the market.
C.Its service is getting poor.
D.It is forbidden by law.
(4)Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A.He missed the good old days.
B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C.He needed it for his milk bottles.
D.He planted flowers in it.發(fā)布:2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷:16引用:3難度:0.9 -
