Test:ACT English
As a child the only thingI wanted to be was a race car driver.My mothers family all livedin central Indiana, and I went to the Indianapolis 500 every year growing up.Between the colors on the cars the speed of the race and the enthusiasm of the crowd, nothing in the world seemed more exciting to a child.晚上我躺在床上睡不着thinking about getting behind the wheel of my own race car. My bedroom walls were adornedwith posters of the all great racersfrom all over the world.
When I was a teenager, I had the opportunity to race go karts on small tracks against other kids my age. Very quickly I realizedI am the terrible driver. Any bumping with another driver was too much for me to handle, and I could nottake the turns quick enoughto keep pace with the best drivers. None of this diminished my love of racing, however, because just being at the track was such a thrill.The noise, the speed, and rushingwere all more exciting from the pits than from the grandstand. If I could never be in the driver’s seat,then I would place myself behind the scenes.
With this new focus, I began studying mechanical engineering and automotive design. I might not have been ableto drive a race car; but nowI could design a car, build a car, and engineer it to win a race. The driversstill get all the credit for the championships, but everyone knows they would never winwithout the people like myself.
