There were two little dots about an inch apart on my desk lid. Absent-mindedly I twisted my pencil point into one dot and then into the other. The two dots became two little eyes. I drew a circle around each eye， then I joined the two circles with a half-circle that made a pair of spectacles. The next day I made a nose and a mouth to go with the eye and spectacles. The next day I finished the face and added ears and some hair. The next day I added a hat. The next day I added a body， with arms， legs， and feet. The next day I went over the drawing again， bearing heavily on my pencil. Over and over again I followed the lines till they became deep grooves in my desk lid. The next day my teacher caught me and I caught it！ The next day my father got a bill for a new desk and I got- Well， never mind what I got. “Perhaps he's going to be an artist，” said my mother. “Heaven forbid！” said my father. “That would cost me much more than a new desk.” And heaven did forbid. I know of a school that has a large wooden tablet in the hall for its pupils to draw upon. At the top of the tablet is printed： IF YOU JUST MUST DRAW， DON'T DRAW ON YOUR DESK， DRAW ON THIS TABLET. If you put a pencil in any one's hand， he just must draw something. Whether he is listening to a lesson or telephoning， he draws circles and faces or triangles and squares over the pad-if there is a pad. Otherwise he draws on the desk top or the wall， for he just must draw something. Have you ever seen any telephone pad that was not scribbled upon？ We say that's human nature. It shows you are a human being. Now， animals can learn to do a good many things that human beings can do， but one thing an animal can't learn is to draw. Dogs can learn to walk on two legs and fetch the newspaper. Bears can learn to dance. Horses can learn to count. Monkeys can learn to drink out of a cup. Parrots can learn to speak. But human beings are the only animals that can learn to draw. 如需文本，欢迎微：feng13923227867

《美国学生历史》

作为第一代移民，了解美国历史是很必要的，作为来美国读书的中学生，这就更必要，因为美国历史是一门必修课。看过几本华人写的介绍美国历史的书籍，很多都是文化随笔类，内容很杂也很感性，基本上只能当成旅途中的读物，作个参考。还看过一些书，讲的都...

不愿身为万户侯只求笑声满人间

又空又念

呈现于读者面前的这部《美国学生人类史》，亦名《人类的故事》，是荷兰裔美籍记者、教授兼作家房龙的经典著作，书中插图亦出自作者之手。《美国学生人类史》英文原版问世于1921年，1922年获得首届纽伯瑞儿童文学奖。1923年，著名教育出版公司麦克米伦公司出版《美国学生人类史》学生版，推荐给学校作为教材使用。1957年，据其改编的电影上市。1925年，沈性仁女士将《美国学生人类史》翻译介绍到中国，由商务印书馆出版，在国内掀起一阵房龙热。《美国学生人类史》最初是房龙写给两位孙子的历史故事集。书中内容均按短篇章节而写，叙述西方文明是如何从原始人类发源，并进一步讲述书写文字、艺术、建筑以及主要的信仰，直至近代民族国家的兴起等。遗憾的是，房龙的这部经典儿童文学作品，在中国一直与他后来写作的《宽容》、《圣经的故事》等被当作成人阅读的人文经典。这种出版导向，使得《美国学生人类史》错失了很多青少年读者。在出版美国另一位作者维吉尔•希利尔的一套文史经典（《美国学生世界历史》、《美国学生世界地理》、《美国学生艺术史》）之后，我们决定将房龙的这部书并入希利尔校长的文史系列。并将此英汉双语版定名为《美国学生人类史》，以期引吸更多学生读者阅读此书，了解人类历史知识、同步提升英文阅读水平。The Story of Mankind was written and illustrated by American journalist, professor, and author Hendrik Willem van Loon and published in 1921. In 1922, it was the first book to be awarded the Newbery Medal for an outstanding contribution to children's literature.Written for his grandchildren, The Story of Mankind tells in brief chapters the history of Western civilization beginning with primitive man, covering the development of writing, art, and architecture, the rise of major religions, and the formation of the modern (for 1921) nation-state. Van Loon explains in the book how he selected what and what not to include by subjecting all materials to the question: Did the person or event in question perform an act without which the entire history of civilization would have been different? This genuinely enjoyable charmer, for history buffs and the historically challenged alike, covers human history from prehistoric times, when our earliest ancestors were learning to communicate with grunts, right through to the issues of the latter 20th century. Van Loon's inviting classic is filled with stories that bring history alive. His pen-and-ink illustrations, maps, and animated chronology contribute to the cozy, round the fireplace aspect of the book.如需文本，欢迎微：feng1392322787

给学生无限可能——细说美国教育

美国教育的成功，最根本原因在哪里？中国教育如果复制美国教育的理论和实践，就一定会像美国那样成功吗？中国教育引进了美国教育正确的理论和实践了吗？中国的小留学生到了美国，就能从学渣变成学霸？其实，美国教育并不是你想象的那样！

自己平时练习的段子，用于学习交流，请大家多支持！

山东快板是一种平词说唱艺术。发源于山东。是中国曲艺曲种。因用两块大竹板儿(大板儿)和五块小竹板儿(节子板儿)而得名。大小竹板儿合称为"七块板儿"。传统快板表演形式有单口、对口、群口快板，还有快板书。表现的艺术特点是短、明、快。通常表演剧目是根据历史演义或者神话传说改编而成。随着新中国建立和改革开放，快板书也与时俱进，创作出一些现代段子，通常都是教育人们知书达理、明辨是非的段子。
