Noah Webster, born on October 16, 1758, is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language.

11、He has been called the “Father of American Scholarship and Education”. His “Blue-Backed Speller” books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children. But how much do you know about him beyond that?At the age of 16, Noah Webster began attending Yale College. Unfortu

12、nately, he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War, and, because of food shortages, many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Later, he served in the army.Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn

13、 his law degree. He had to teach school in order to pay for his education. He set up many small schools that didnt survive, but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn, like most teachers did, he rewarded them. He earned his law degree in 1781, but did not practice law

14、 until 1789. Once he started he found the law was not to his liking. Webster did not have much money.In 1793, Alexander Hamilton lent him$1500 to move to New York City to edit a newspaper.In December,he founded New Yorks first daily newspaper, American Minerva, and edited it for four years. For deca

15、des, he published textbooks,political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party, He wrote so much that a modernlist of his published works required 655 pages.Noah Webster died on May 28,1843 and was buried in the Grove Street Cemetery.21.Whats the main idea of Paragraph

Because he forced his students to learn.B Next Halloween, a small vegetable that looks like a pumpkin(南

18、瓜) may appear in a garden near you. The vegetable is a type of pepper that is called” Lil Pumpkin”. It is very special because it has orange, pumpkin-like fruit. You might think that all vegetables are grown to provide food to eat. But some vegetables are growing mainly for the lively color and holi

19、day spirit that they bring to gardens. These are called “ornamentals（观赏性植物）”. Just like ornaments decorate a Christmas tree, they decorate a garden. The peppers were produced by Agricultural Research Service(ARS) scientists John Stommel and Robert Griesbach. Another pepper the scientists developed i

20、s called “Pepper Jack”. Because Pepper Jack has orange and black cone-shaped fruit, it might remind you of the popular Halloween treat “candy corn.” Stommel says that vegetables crops such as peppers were first widely grown in Europe in the 15th century. At that time, people liked these crops more b

21、ecause they looked pretty than because they provided food. Back then, when a gardener grew plants for decoration and plants for food, the garden was called a “potager”. An example of this is the large gardens on the lawns of castles and very large homes where kings and queens lived. One of those lar

22、ge royal homes was the French kings palace at Versailles during the 1600s. The palace is still there today, and people from all over the world still go there to visit and see the gardens.Today, Stommel says using vegetables as decorations in gardens has become popular again.So you might be wondering

23、, if these peppers are for decorations, can people eat them?

These pretty peppers can be grown in containers and also in garden beds. They gr

Food for the Halloween festivalCHow do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that

27、 successful people share. First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control some things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in

28、the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separate successful people from others is that they live their life “on purpose” they ar

29、e doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. Because of their com

30、mitment (投身; 献身), people are willing to do business with them, and it is always found in them.
