When I was invited to visit the recently completed Summit One Vanderbilt, New York􀆳s fourth⁃highest tower, I wasn􀆳t expecting much. I felt like I􀆳d seen it all and I thought that this observation deck (观测台) would be another space for a view of the city, but nothing else. Let me tell you something: I have never seen one like this before. It sits on top of a building on 42nd street and Vanderbilt, right next to Grand Central Station. Once you have ascended to the top floor, you step into air, which makes you feel like being at 1,000 feet above ground level with its mirrored floors. Once you make your way throughout the space, you feel like New York is part of a body, and your sense of space is challenged by the reflections of the light. The reflections create endless possibilities for photos and videos, and the light changes throughout the day. I took out my camera and began to take photos, feeling a connection with the city that no other observatory has been able to give me. Summit is something unique, an art work with architecture. It will be an observatory that will change with the city. I personally can􀆳t wait to take photos at sunset, or when winter arrives. 　　【语篇解读】　本文介绍了纽约的第四高摩天大楼——范德比尔特摩天大楼。 1.How did the author feel when invited to visit Summit One Vanderbilt? A. Curious. B.
