4、show their love was in their willingness to make sacrifices for their children. As parents, they were devoted to ensuring that their sons obtained the best possible education. At an early age they concentrated their efforts on Richard, as he showed most signs of being a talented and perhaps even a g

5、ifted child. The making of the early mind of Richard Nixon owed most to his mother. If her marriage had not cut short her college education she would have become a teacher. She was a well-educated young woman, proficient in Greek, Latin, German and French, with a deep interest in European culture. H

6、annah taught Richard to read before he went to infant school and awakened his interest in her own specialized areas of classics, languages, and history. By the age of five he had become an eager reader of childrens encyclopedias, history stories and adult periodicals. Hannah opened Richards mind to

7、European culture; she started him off in French and German, introduced him to Shakespeare and trained him to recite poetry. Hannah was, above all, a classicist. She believed that Latin was the fountainhead of language, and that the ancient historians and orators were the masters of clear expression.

8、 Under his mothers instruction classics had a strong influence on Richards childhood imagination. Besides expanding Richards mental curiosity and capabilities far beyond the interests of the average five year old, Hannah drilled into him the importance of working hard in order to grow up to be someb

9、ody. A small clue to her strong desire for her second son was her attempt to stop the use of the nickname Dick as too foolish, perhaps, for a future man of importance. By the way Miss George, please call my son Richard and never Dick. I named him Richard, Hannah told his school-teacher on the day he

10、 entered the elementary school. Miss Mary George never forgot this request one of the many reasons why this little boy was rather different from the others in her class. Her recollections of Richard Nixons early progress are revealing. “He was a very quiet, studious boy and kept mostly to himself.he

11、 was one of those rare individuals born with knowledge. He only had to be exposed or shown and he never forgot.he absorbed knowledge of any kind.in that year he read no less than thirty or forty books, maybe more, besides doing all of his other work.he never had to work for knowledge at all. He was

12、told something and he never forgot. He has a photographic mind, I think.“ Although this early judgment of Richards ability by his first schoolmistress may be too flattering, nevertheless Miss Georges reference to the photographic quality of his mind showed much insight. The phrase photographic memor

13、y falls too easily from the tongue and is rarely accurate, but what can be said with certainty of Richard Nixon is that he was blessed with a very good memory. For various reasons it has often suited him during his career to downplay this remarkable gift. During his life he preferred to brush aside

14、discussion of this talent with the comment, My memory is very good only for a simple reason I worked at it. However he acquired it, there is little doubt that this capacity for remembering information of every description, from names, facts and figures to speeches and documents, was fundamental to h

15、is later political success. He was a very quiet child and rarely ever smiled or laughed, recalled his schoolteacher Miss George. I have no recollection of him playing with others in the playground, which undoubtedly he did. like other youngsters in mild weather Richard always came barefoot. Every da

16、y he wore a freshly cleaned white shirt with a big black bow tie and knee pants. He always looked like his mother had scrubbed him from head to toe. The funny thing is, I can never remember him ever getting dirty. The one person who could bring Richard out of his shell was his elder brother Harold,

17、the oldest son in the family. Harold was a daredevil, a charmer, an outgoing risk-taker who loved danger, excitement, rough and tumble. Richard hero-worshipped his elder brother. Never quick-moving himself, he found it difficult to match the pace set by Harold as they raced off together into adventu

18、res. Their physical inequality was painfully apparent. Richard would tumble down, cut his knees, run out of breath, yet never quit in his struggles to keep up with his stronger brother. The first signs that Richard was going to be a great competitor were displayed in his childhood relationship with

19、Harold. One other close relative who had a major impact on Richard was his grandmother, Almira Milhous. She had strong passions for history, for poetry, for racial equality and especially for educating the young. This last interest made her a good communicator with her thirty-two grandchildren. Havi

20、ng been a school-teacher before her marriage, Almira had a good eye for the brightest child in the class and she quickly spotted that of all her descendants, Richard Nixon had the most talent for absorbing knowledge. She was the first person ever to say, That boy will one day be a leader. Although s

21、he tried to be careful not to single him out for special treatment at family gatherings, it was nevertheless noticed that Almira was especially attached to Richard. At her knee he read her history books, absorbed her firm belief in Republicanism, and came to share her admiration for Gandhi, Lincoln

22、and other peacemakers whose biographies she gave to him. Above all, Richard absorbed from his grandmother certain key values that stayed with him throughout his life. A passion for peace and a passion for privacy was his summary of his Milhous heritage. He could well have added a passion for hard wo

23、rk Richard Nixon grew up to be an industrious as well as a clever boy. The old saying that genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration was applicable to him. When he was ten, Grandmother Almira gave Richard a poem. Work! Thank God for the might of it The ardor, the urge,

43、busy you are, you should make time for this (41)_. Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a (42)_ in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a (43)_.

46、 Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. 48 Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ inst

47、ructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say“ or “whole-word“ method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most notorious example of this failure to instruct effectively. The “whole-word“ approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the mea

48、ning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed, “learning how to learn“ activities recommended by advocates of “open“ classrooms and with the conce

49、pt that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Ran Spot Run“ readers. However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate“ in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Cant Read, Flesch indicted(控拆 )the nations public schools for miseducating students by using the “look-say“ meth
