by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has selfconfidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement. A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort.” the first paragraph, the author implies that is essential in achieving success.

But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “l(fā)ooksay” or “wholeword” method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively. The wholeword approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning 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 selfdirected, “l(fā)earning how to learn” activities remended by advocates (倡導(dǎo)者)of “open” classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “RunSpotRun” readers. However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate” in beginning reading. In his bestseller Why Johnny Can’t Read, Flesch indicted(控訴)the nation’s public schools for miseducating students by using the looksay method. He said—and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics(語音學(xué)), is far superior.

Some people maintain that smoking should be pletely their opinions, smoking is harmful not only to the smokers but also to the people , smoking is a waste of one smokes a cigarette, one is actually burning money. Other people do not believe that smoking helps to sharpen one’s mind and prevents one from smoking does not seem to shorten one’s life since many people who smoke live a long the government gets a lot of money from cigarette taxes.
