A Picture of Americans

It is a strange and curios picture of Americans. If ever a people had behind them a tradition of great purposes, termendous dreams, the people of America have that tradition. There is not one of us, there is not a child in this Pepublic, who does not know the story. No force of terror, nopressure of population, drove our ancestors across this continent. They came as the great explorers crossed the Atlantic, because of the imagination of their minds -because they imagined a better, a more beautiful, a freer, happier world; because they were men not only of courage, not only of strength and hardiness, but of warm and vivid desire; because they desired; because they had the power to desire.

弟弟,不要光打字而已,看到不懂的字要去找字典,寫在一本小簿子上,那就是屬於你自己的字典了。有空的時候拿出來翻翻看,英文會進步的哦。

根据Leonard Sax《养男育女调不同》,男生常夸大自己的学习成果,女生却相反的太过谦虚。
老大的问题就在此。
