【正文】 政廣場開廉價店，為了自己的夢想每天工作18個小時的人，一點沒變，”市長理查德當狩獵季節(jié)來臨時，他跟別人一樣在當地的沃爾瑪商店排隊購買獵槍子彈。只有在美國，一個億萬富翁才能像普通百姓一樣，安穩(wěn)地過著普普通通的日子。家具略顯陳舊，一輛舊的輕便貨車停在車庫里，褐色的捕禽獵犬在院子里竄來竄去。沃爾頓就在該鎮(zhèn)從一個專賣廉價商品的小店起家，逐漸發(fā)展成為價值60億美金資產的廉價連鎖店沃爾瑪公司。哈里斯他穿上餐服準備到美國首富的生日聚會上去擔任侍者。如果仔細審視任何一項創(chuàng)新，其對以往成就的依賴則都顯而易見(“站在巨人肩膀之上”的現(xiàn)象)。美國教育工作者則擔心，除非從一開始就發(fā)展創(chuàng)造力，不然創(chuàng)造力就有可能永不再現(xiàn)；而另一方面，技藝可于日后獲得。創(chuàng)造力第一? 從對創(chuàng)造力的態(tài)度來說，優(yōu)先次序似乎是顛倒了：西方的年輕人先是大膽創(chuàng)新，然后逐漸深諳傳統(tǒng)；而中國的年輕人則幾乎離不開傳統(tǒng)，但是，隨著時間的推移，他們同樣可能發(fā)展到具有創(chuàng)新的境界。學習應通過不間斷的精心塑造與引導而得以實現(xiàn)，這一觀念同樣適用于藝術。這件事表明了我們兩國在教育和藝術實踐上的重要差異。這種自力更生的精神是美國中產階級最重要的一條育兒觀。為什么不教他怎么做呢?他會高興，他還能早些學會做這件事，進而去學做更復雜的事，如開門，或索要鑰匙——這兩件事到時候同樣可以(也應該)示范給他看。我很快意識到，這件小事與我們在中國要做的工作直接相關：考察兒童早期教育(尤其是藝術教育)的方式，揭示中國人對創(chuàng)造性活動的態(tài)度。但我很快就觀察到一個有趣的現(xiàn)象。本杰明一點也不在意。由于口子狹小，你得留神將鑰匙放準位置才塞得進去。加德納1987年春，我和妻子埃倫帶著我們18個月的兒子本杰明在繁忙的中國東部城市南京住了一個月，同時考察中國幼兒園和小學的藝術教育情況。第一篇：大學英語綜合教程2翻譯To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and , learning by heart as many wellwritten essays as possible is also very an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course acplish the task of mastering more and more donations ing in, our university will be much better off financially next will thus be able to focus on the most important task that we, educators, must take on: to encourage students to attain their scholarly/academic goals, to train them to be dependable and responsible individuals, to prepare them for the life ahead, and to guide them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as material , the son of , liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, which made it hard for other residents in the munity to fall the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct called to tell him in a frank manner what they were assured them that he would certainly settle the soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has e over you?
