篇一
i teach because i like the pace of the academic calendar. june, july, and august offer an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.
i teach because teaching is a profession built on change. when the material is the same, i change--and, more important, my students change.
i teach because i like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. as a teacher, i'm my own boss. if i want my freshmen to learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say i can' t? such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures.
i teach because i like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer. the world is full'of right answers to bad questions. while teaching, i sometimes find good questions.
so teaching gives me pace and variety, and challenge,and the opportunity to keep on learning.
however, the most important reasons why i teach are that my students grow up and change in front of me. some have become doctoral students with excellent success and found good jobs; some have become interested in the urban poor and served as civil rights lawyers; some have decided to finish high school and go to college.
but teaching offers something besides money and power.it offers love. not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher's life and begins to breathe.perhaps love is the wrong word., magic might be better.
i teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, i occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.
我教书,是因为我喜爱校历的步调。六月、七月和八月这三个月的暑假提供了一个思考、研究和创作的机会。
我教书,是因为教学是建立在变化基础上的职业。虽然教材还是原来的不变,但我自身却变了,更重要的是,我的学生变了。
我教书,是因为我喜欢有让自己犯错的自由,喜欢自己吸取教训的自由,喜欢激励自己和激励学生的自由。作为教师,我可以自行做主。如果我想要求一年级学生通过自己编写课本的方法来学习写作,谁会说我不能那样做呢?这样的课程也许会彻底失败,但我们都可以从失败中获得教益。
我教书,是因为我喜欢提出学生必须绞尽脑汁方能回答的问题。我们这个世界充满了对付拙劣问题的正确答案。我在教学过程中,有时也发现了一些好的问题。
所以说,教书让生活变得有节奏、丰富多彩;教书向我提出了挑战,也给了我不断学习的机会。
然而,我教书最重要的理由是,我的学生在我面前成长、发展、变化。有些学生成了成就斐然的博士,找到了好工作;有些对城市贫民发生了兴趣,当了维护公民权力的律师;有些决定读完高中后继续上大学。
教书还带来了超越金钱和权力以外的东西:那便是爱。不仅是爱学习、爱书本、爱思想,还有老师对出类拔萃的学生的爱。这样的学生走进了老师的生活,开始成长起来。爱这个字也许用得不恰当,说是魔力也许更为贴切。
篇二
by the mid-nineteenth century, the term "icebox" had entered the american language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the united states. the ice trade grew with the growth of cities. ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. after the civil war( 1861-1865),as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use.
even before 1880,half of the ice sold in new york, philadelphia, and baltimore, and one-third of that sold in boston and chicago, went to families for their own use. this had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modern refrigerator, had been invented.
making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. in the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary. the commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping up the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.
but as early as 1803, and ingenious maryland farmer, thomas moore, had been on the right track. he owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of washington, for which the village of georgetown was the market center. when he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. one advantage of his icebox, moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool.
篇三
to avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind is prone, no superhuman genius is required. if the matter is one that can be settled by observation,make the observation yourself.
many matters,however,are less easily brought to the test of experience.if,like most of mankind, you have passionate convictions on many such matters,there are ways in which you can make yourself aware of your own bias. if an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. if someone maintains that two and two are five, or that iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. the most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good
evidence either way. persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic, because in theology there is only opinion. so wheneveryou find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.
a good way of ridding yourself of certain kinds of dogmatism is to become aware of opinions held in social circles different from your own. if the people and the newspaper seem mad, perverse, and wicked, remind yourself that you seem so to them. in this opinion both parties may be right, but they cannot both be wrong. this reflection should generate a certain caution.
for those who have enough psychological imagination, it is a good plan to imagine an argument with a person having a different bias. this has one advantage, and only one, as compared with actual conversation with opponents; this one advantage is that the method is not subject to the same limitations of time and space.
