15、. Exceptional children differ from average children in mental characteristics, sensory abilities, physical characteristics, emotional behaviour, or communication abilities to the extent that they require special educational services to develop their 1. The Department of Education 2that 10 to 20 perc
16、ent of the children in the Unite States suffer from handicaps. Another 2 to 3 percent are considered gifted. Special education provides these children with learning experiences suitable to their unique abilities. Caring for people who have disabilities is a relatively 3idea. In ancient times disable
17、d people were left to die. During the Middle Ages they were treated more 4, but it was not thought that they could learn. In the 19th century, residential treatment centres were 5, first in Europe and then in the US by individual states, to care for people who were blind, deaf, severely retarded, or
18、 suffered from severe emotional disorders. By the 20th century, 6classes and public day schools were begun, but these served very few children. After World War II the attitude of Americans concerning the education of persons who were disabled changed significantly. 7for special education was assumed
19、 by state legislatures and the federal government. Parent groups formed to 8for the rights of children with disabilities, joined with professional educational programs. In 1925 the US congress passed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act which 9a free and appropriate education to all childr

But few have heard the tale of how the two-f
22、isted brothers started their business in Canada. John and Horace Dodge spent nearly eight years working in Windsor as machinists, founding their first company here, and learning how to massively produce manufactured goods.B)The Evans & Dodge Bicycle Company is nearly forgotten now. But it taught the
23、 brothers how to run a leading-edge technology businesswhich it was in those days, says Windsor automotive historian Mickey Moulder. After selling out to CCM in 1900, the brothers took $7,500 in capital out of the little Windsor Company back to Detroit and founded Dodge Brothers. So laid the foundat
24、ion of the gigantic fortune they managed to produce before both dying in 1920.C)What a pair the quarrelling Dodge brothers were, with their red hair, their barrel chests and tendency for heavy boozing and bar fighting. Horace was the quieter mechanical brain, doggedly working out problems on his wor
25、k bench with a micrometer until midnight. John was the play boy, the salesman, the spokesman for the both of them. Although born four years apart, John in 1864 Horace in 1868, they were inseparable. Which is what brought them to Windsor. They had moved to Detroit from rural Niles, Mich., in 1886 at
26、ages 22 and 18, taking jobs in the same factory, Murphys Boiler Works. If they needed any toughening up, which is doubtful, they learned it there and the nearby waterfront taverns.D)But a fit of tuberculosis eventually made the heavy work impossible for John, so in 1892 he came to Windsor looking fo
27、r lighter duties at the Dominion Typograph Company on Sandwich Street(now Riverside Drive).E)According to family legend, the owners of the company, located in the Medbury Block just west of Ouellette Avenue, wanted to hire only one machinist. But John announced both he and Horace would be hired as a
28、 team or neither of them would work in Canada. The two leading technologies of the day were typesetting machines and bicycles. And Dominion happened to make both. That especially suited Horace.F)Moulder, a car collector and former Ford of Canada executive, has been a lifelong student of automotive h
29、istory. He s also co-chairman of the Canadian Transportation Museum in Essex, and he tells the Dodge story with enthusiasm. “Bicycles were the high-tech mechanical device of the 1880s and 1890s. Everybody and the two brothers(literally)were fascinated by them,“ Moulder says, “The Dodge brothers, the
30、 Leland brothers(Cadillac, Lincoln)and the Wright brothers all built bicycles before their gasoline machines“.G)John became foreman at Dominion Typograph, Horace a “skilled machinist,“ according to the Windsor City Directory of 1894. Within five years its owner, Fred Evans, had taken in the brothers
31、 as full partners and they devoted themselves to building bicycles exclusively.H)Their products were known for being extremely smooth, reliable and robust, just as their cars would be a few years later. By November, 1897, Evans & Dodge employed 100 people in Windsor.I)But the overpopulated bicycle i
32、ndustry began consolidating, and Evans and Dodge decided to sell. Although John had married a Canadian from Walkerton, Ont, and Horace was married on his lunch-break at a church in Walkerville, the Dodges had never lived in Windsor. So they took their little nest egg back to Detroit and rented a new
33、 shop. They started taking orders for difficult-to-machine parts. Business took off due to high quality work and respect for deadlines.J)Their first big customer: Ransom Olds, father of the first mass produced American automobile. They built engines and transmissions for him, quickly making big mone
34、y. “The Dodge brothers got a reputation for being really, really good suppliers,“ Moulder says.K)Henry Ford came knocking next, and they were soon supplying him with nearly complete cars. Ford was broke, was a poor machinist and couldnt make much himself. “The Dodge brothers essentially provided the
35、 heart and soul of the first Ford cars built in 1903 and 1904,“ Moulder says. “The running chassis(底盘)was made by Dodge Brothers. Ford just put on the fenders, the windshield, the headlights, the seats, dressed it up. Ford didnt make its own first car. Dodge Brothers did. And thats why Ford became s
36、o well known, because the car was so well built“.L)“They were geniuses. They were tough bastards, too,“ says Moulder. “They were big guys, and you didnt cross either of them or badmouth them because theyd hear about it. And if they happened to see you in a bar at the wrong timeeven if you were a law
37、yerafter they had a few drinks in them . The Dodges would either drag the offending party out into the street for their punishment or break up the whole bar. Then next morning theyd come back and pay for all the damages. They were tough birds, which is why they took on Henry Ford. Everybody else was
38、 afraid of him, but they took him on and won.“M)Fords defeat in a dispute over stocks the Dodges owned in his company came in the form of a lawsuit which netted the Dodges $25 millionmore than enough to launch their own car brand in 1914. They started by incorporating all the ideas Henry Ford had re
39、jected. Technologically, they were well ahead of the pack.N)“We ve got a beautiful Dodge Brothers car, a 1920 four door sedan,“ Moulder says. Its on permanent display at the Transportation Museum on the Arner Town Line. “Its full of advances that you would never find on any other car at the time.“ F
40、or instance: the first metal weather stripping to keep rain out of the passenger compartment, the first one-piece roof stampings, the first silent starters, and the first 12-volt electrical systems. A Dodge always started in the cold due to those 12-volt systems, which is why the rest of the world e
41、ventually followed suit, Moulder says.O)The brothers got to enjoy quite a bit of their vast wealth, building castle-like mansions outside Detroit and commissioning giant yachts. But their premature deaths at ages 55 and 52 shocked the world at the time. John sat for days on end at Horace s bedside w
42、hen his younger brother was stricken by the Spanish flu, leaving only when he himself collapsed from it, dying a few days later. Horace rallied and lived a few more months before following his beloved older brother into a crypt in the familys huge tomb in Detroits Woodlawn Cemetery. Johns Canadian w
43、ife ran Dodge Brothers the company until 1925, selling out for $147 million to a Wall Street investment firm, which flipped it three years later to Walter P. Chrysler for $175 million.（分数：20.00）(1).The Dodge brothers were tough guys and thats one of the reason that they worked with Henry Ford who wa
