Though were born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. He was determined that all of his children shoul

24、d receive a good education. Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to refuse Papas requests. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of

25、the day; no matter how unimportant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comments, always to the point. Then came the momentthe time to share the days new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, read

26、y to listen. Felice, hed say, tell me what you learned today. I learned that the population of Nepal is .” Silence. Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . . “hed say. Get the map; lets see where Nepal is.

27、 “And the whole family went on a search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however

28、, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one anothers education.

Later during my training as a future teac

29、her, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were teaching what Papa had known all alongthe value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.

33、s achievement was even greater than only a few other great scientists have achieved. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(识别) of time and space and so on

34、but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before. By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for st

35、udy, but soon his peace and quietness were broken by World War . Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In th

36、e year following World War, honors were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whine Institute of Theoretical Physics.

40、s from our readers. Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders. People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. Th

41、ey may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to avoid them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to t

42、hem, much more important than the welfare of others. Michael Horan I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.

43、oing he shouted at me. The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used. The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!

44、y some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.

I was almost knocked down recently by a c

45、yclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him. Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists? Its about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least the

51、eel and the shared common goal motivates people to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone. Another advantage of group exercise is the informational support that people can receive from the instructor. Many peop
