4、I wanted to say just the way I would to a friend “Have you been working out?“ “Have you changed your hairstyle?“ She looked slimmer and even younger than the woman I interviewed a little less than four years ago, on the day before the world changed. Back then, on September 10, 2001, Washington, stil

5、l reeling from an election that rested on a mere 537 votes in Florida, was recovering from culture shock. The Bushes ran a very different White House than the Clintons. They were on time for appointments, they spent quiet evenings with intimate friends, and they went to bed early. Not exactly a hip

6、Hollywood lifestyle. But the First Lady a title she still thinks of as too lofty and inauthentic to describe her was winning hearts and minds. She is, after all, a teacher and educator. She taught elementary school in Houston and Austin for several years, and produced an outstanding book fair in Was

7、hington with some of Americas greatest authors populating(聚集于 ) vast lawns filled with tents, talking to throngs about their works. Laura Bushs love of reading is partly what defines her. I always wondered if books were substitutes for the brothers and sisters she didnt have growing up in Midland, T

8、exas if they kept her from feeling lonely. Why Shes So Popular On the day of our visit last January, as my colleague Bill Beaman and I sat in a room waiting for the First Lady, we noticed a wall full of childrens books, and thought they might be some of her favorites. The room was plain, rather cozy

9、, and under-decorated. We were told the interview would take place in Mrs. Bushs office, and assumed this was a waiting room. Wrong. This was Laura Bushs office: child centric art and literature, a simple desk, a small sitting area, and thats it. How true to her style, I remember thinking. The tange

10、rine suit was a compromise to the role of political wife. The office wasnt you could imagine her in jeans and a work shirt. The reason Laura Bush is perhaps the most popular First Lady since her mother-in-law, Barbara Bush, is because of the jeans and work-shirt attitude she projects to the country.

11、 Not Exactly a “Desperate Housewife“ To her critics, Laura Bushs solid and consistent behavior translates as dull, boring, shes been called a Stepford wife, obedient and risk opposing. But after 9.11, some began to see her true value. Laura Bush had become the “nurturer-in-chief“, offering the kind

12、of compassion and rhetoric to the 9.11 families and the country that you cant fake. She emerged from that tragedy as a true believer in the fight against terrorism. But her war would be waged in the classroom. She jump-started an educational reform program in Afghanistan that would allow women to at

13、tend school for the first time. “Women were not empowered(授权力 ), and the result was that one-half of the population could contribute to society,“ she says. “We are building an American school in Kabul, where women teachers can be trained and have a safe place to live.a teachers institute, so they ca

14、n go back to their provinces and teach.“ Laura Bushs commitment to education and literacy has gone well beyond chairing the occasional benefit fund-raiser, or offering photos as she tours schools. “My whole life Ive been interested in education and children. Ive done a lot of work with teaching recr

15、uitment organizations, like Troops to Teachers and Teach for America. Id like to encourage people to choose teaching as a career because its so important.“ She taught underprivileged kids in Austin, where she was a librarian. Lauras daughter Jenna, a recent graduate of the University of Texas, has f

16、ollowed in her mothers footsteps and is teaching at a Washington, D.C., public school. Growing up an only child in Midland and having no interest in sports, Laura Bush turned to books for joy and entertainment. She had plenty of friends, and still sees some who date back to her days in the Brownies.

17、 But books offered a special joy. Her close friend Penny Royall, who moved to Midland in the mid-70s, says that Laura Bushs love of literature accounts for her thoughtful and intelligent personality. “Being so well-read has enriched her life as well as the country.“ Who She Is Today Since the electi

18、on, some say Laura Bush has emerged as more fashionable and more willing to open the White House for social events. However, she had limited the number of state dinners after 9.11. Now, with a new chef and many new staff members. shes gearing up for a strong social season. She has also outlined a ne

19、w national project, “Helping Americas Youth, which targets at risk middle-and high school boys. “We know that a lot of the students who have the most problems are the ones who cant read,“ she says. “Theyre the ones who drop out or theyre the ones who are frustrated and act out in school. Often, they

20、re boys. Weve focused on girls for the last 30 years, and I think weve neglected boys. As a society, we believe that boys call take care of themselves, that boys dont cry, and that boys dont express emotion or shouldnt that its not manly to do that. There are a larger number of boys who are in troub

21、le, who go to jail. The choices they make really impact the rest of their lives.“ Tile First Lady intends to highlight some of the already existing programs to communities throughout the country. One of them, in Dallas, pairs a troubled boy with an unadoptable dog who would otherwise be killed. “The

22、 boys are taught to train the dogs in a gentle way, and they end up with unconditional love that they get from this animal. But also they end up saving the life of the animal.“ In many ways, Laura Bush has been liberated. There are no more campaigns to face, no more debates, no more stump speeches a

23、fter this term. She would never want to toss her own hat in the political arena. “Im not really interested in running for anything. Thats just not my personality. I have the wonderful opportunity of being able to do what elected officials do without actually having to run myself.“ Penny Royall says,

24、 “Its fair to say that Laura is a natural introvert(内向的 ). Shes not shy. She prefers quiet company. Just a week or so ago, I was over on Saturday, we worked out, showered and dressed. We were sitting in the living room. She was working, I was reading a book. We were quietly sitting, just being toget

25、her. The President came in and said, Arent you all going to talk to each other? You havent said one word to each other. We were just quietly enjoying being there together.“ Thats the difference between George and Laura Bush. Hes the extrovert(外向的 ); shes private and reserved. Hes a plain-speaking Te
