The tallest tree house in the world 美国建筑师贺瑞斯·伯吉斯用时整整11 年精心打造的世界最 高树屋有10 层楼高。一起去领略一下这座树屋的风采吧！ There is a famous saying (谚语) in English — Rome was not built in a day. Perhaps American builder Horace Burgess understands it better than others. It took him 11 years to build the world’s tallest house in the trees. Horace’s wooden (木制的) house is in Tennessee, south -east of the USA. He started building it in 1993. Now the 10-storey tree house is nearly 30 metres tall. There are six trees supporting (支撑) the large house together. The house has an area of about 929 ㎡ in all. There are lots of rooms in the house. There is even a basketball court (篮球场) and a small church (教堂) in it. The tree house is wonderful, but it only cost Horace $12,000 to build. The smart builder collected plenty of waste wood from other places and used 258,000 nails (钉子) to put them together. “This house is every child’s dream. When you stand next to the tallest tree house in the world, you just want to go inside and have a look,” one visitor said. A What do you know about …? 2 What do trees do for us? a.
