富兰克林和书

美国18世纪著名政治家、科学家富兰克林，参加过独立上星期争，参加起草独立宣言，代表美国同英国谈判，后签订巴黎和约，曾创办《宾夕法尼亚报》，建立美国第一个公共图书馆。他在研究大气电方面有重要贡献，发明避雷针。著有《自传》。

富兰克林自幼酷爱读书。家贫无钱上学，从少年时代起，就独自谋生。常常饿肚子省钱买书读。

某一天，富兰克林在路上看到一位白发老驱，已饿得走不动了。连心将自己仅有的一块面包送给她。老妪看富兰克林的样子，也是一个穷人，不忍收他的面包。

“你吃吧，我包里有的是。”富兰克林说着拍拍那只装满书籍的背包。

老妪吃着面包，只见富兰克林从背包里抽出一本书，津津有味地读起来。“孩子，你怎么不吃面包啊？”老妪问道。富兰克林笑着回答说：“读书的滋味要比面包好多了！”

经济拮据，购书能力有限，他只得经常借书读。他常在认间向朋友敲门借书，连认点起一盏灯，专心读书，疲乏了就以冷水浇头提提神，坐下继续阅读完，第二天一早，准时把书还给书主，从不失信。蔡元培六十年读书如一日

蔡元培，号孑民，浙江绍兴人。中国民主工革命家、教育家、科学家，知识界的卓越越先驱。编著有《蔡元培先集》。

蔡元培从少年时代起，就勤于读书，百般天蚊虫多，晚上读书时把一双脚放在水桶里，避免蚊子叮咬，专心致志地读书。在他一生繁心工作和革命斗争中，从未停止过读书。他晚年回顾说：“自十余岁起……读到现在，将满六十年了……几乎没有一日不读点书的。”

由于他一生读书不辍，因此，他知识渊博，被誉为“学界泰斗”。

爱迪生以书为枕

大名鼎鼎的美国科学家爱迪生，一生的发明多达近二千项，被誉为“发明大王”。这也与他勤非读书分不开的，他常常通宵达旦地读书，查资料，困极了，他就以书当枕，在实验室躺一会儿。因此，有人风趣地说：“怪不得爱迪生有那么多的知识，原来他在睡梦中也还要从书本里吸取营养哩。”

牛顿的天赋并没有明显的超人之处，然而他特别勤奋学习，学习和研究都专心致志，简直到了入迷的地步。他常常一连几个星期都留在实验室里，直到实验完成。有一次，他迷着搞实验，竟把手表当鸡蛋放到锅里去煮。又有一次，牛顿的朋友来看他，他把饭菜摆到桌上后，又一头钻进了实验室。这个朋友等得不耐烦了，就先吃起来，吃过后没有告辞就走了。牛顿做完实验后出来，一看桌上的盘碟，自言自语的笑着说：“我还以为没吃饭呢，原来已经吃过了！”说着又走进实验室去了。

安培

安培专心研究科学，相传还有一则趣事：

一天，安培在路上边走边思考问题，猛抬头，发现前面有一块黑板，不由喜上心头。马上掏出一支随身携带的粉笔，把脑中思索的问题写下，计算起来。这块黑板向前移动了，安培跟着往往前移。渐渐黑板移动得更快了，这位专心的计算者也不由自主地跟着跑了起来。路上的行人看到这种情形，不禁拍手大笑。当他实在跟不上而停下来时，发现这并不是什么黑板，而是马车的后背。他望着车背上的公式渐渐远去，遗憾地叹了一口气：“唉！可惜还没有算完。” 囊萤映雪

“囊萤映雪”这则成语的囊萤是晋代车胤家贫，没钱买灯油，而又想晚上读书，便在夏天晚上抓一把萤火虫来当灯读书；映雪是晋代孙康冬天夜里利用雪映出的光亮看书。后用“囊萤映雪”比喻家境贫苦，刻苦读书。

第二篇：富兰克林演讲稿

Second Inaugural Address(1937)We Will Carry On!持久进步之路

Franklin D.Roosevelt富兰克林-罗斯福（1882---1945）

32nd President of the United States(1933---1945)Political Party : Democratic When four years ago we met to inaugurate a President ,the Republic ,single-minded in anxiety ,stood in spirit here.we dedicated ourselves to the fulfillment of a vision-to speed the time when there would be the pursuit of happiness.We of the Republic pledged ourselves to drive from the temple of our ancient faith those who had profaned it;to end by action ,tireless and unafraid , the stagnation and despair of that day.We did those first things first.Our covenant with ourselves did not stop there.Instinctively we recognized a deeper need-the need to find through government the instrument of our united purpose to solve for the individual the ever-rising problems of a complex civilization.Repeated attempts at their soluation without the aid of government had left us baffled and bewildered.For , without that aid ,we had been unable to create those moral controls over the services of science which are necessary to make science a useful servant instead of a ruthless master of mankind.To do this we knew that we must find practical controls over blind economic forces and blindly selfish men.We of Republic sensed the truth that democratic government has innate capacity to protect its people against disasters once considered inevitable ,to solve problems once considered unsolvable.We would not admit that we could not find a way to master economic epidemics just as , after centuries of fatalistic suffering , we had found a way to master epidemics of disease.We refused to leave the problems of our common welfare to be solved by the winds of chance and the hurricanes of disaster.In this we Americans were discovering no wholly new truth;we were writing a new chapter in our book of self-government.This year marks the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Constitutional Convention which made us a nation.At that Convention our forefathers found the way out of the chaos which followed the Revolutionary War;they created a strong government with powers of united action sufficient then and now to solve problems utterly beyond individual or local solution.A century and a half ago they established the Federal Government in order to promote the general welfare and the blessings of liberty to the American people.Today we invoke those same powers of government to achieve the objectives.Four years of new experience have not belied our historic instinct.They hold out the clear hope that government within communities , government within the separate States , and government of the United States can do the things the times require , within yielding its democracy.Our tasks in the last four years did not force democracy to take a holiday.Nearly all of us recognize that as intricacies of human relationships increase , so power to govern them also must increase-power to stop evil;power to do good.The essential democracy of stop our Nation and safety of our people depend not upon the absence of power , but upon lodging it with those whom the people can change or continue at stated intervals through an honest and free system of elections.The Constitution of 1787 did not make our democracy impotent.In fact , in these last four years , we have made the exercise of all power more democratic;for we have begun to bring private autocratic powers into their proper subordination to the public’s government.The legend that they were invincible—above and beyond the processes

of a democracy—has been shattered.They have been challenged and beaten.Our progress out of the depression is obvious.But that is not all that you and I mean by the new order of things.Our pledge was not merely to do a patchwork job with secondhand materials.By using the new materials of social justice we have undertaken to erect on the old foundations a more enduring structure for the better use of future generations.In that purpose we have been helped by achievements of mind and spirit.Old truths have been relearned;untruths have been unlearned.We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals;we know now that it is bad economics.Out of the collapse of properity whose builders boasted their practicality has come the conviction that in the long run economic morality pays.We are beginning to wipe out the line that divides the practical from the ideal;and in so doing we are fashioning an instrument of unimagined power for the establishment of a morally better world.This new understanding undermines the old admiration of worldly success as such.We are beginning to abandon our tolerance of the abuse of power by those who betray for profit the elementary decencies of life.In this process evil things formerly accepted willnoy be so easily condoned.Hard-headedness will not so easily excuse hardheartedness.We are moving toward an era of good feeling.But we realize that there can be no era of good feeling save among men of good will.For these reasons I am justified that the greastest change we have witnessed has been the change in the moral climate of America.Among men of good will ,science and democracy together offer an ever-richer life and ever-larger satisfaction to the individual.With this change in our moral climate and our rediscovered ability to impeove our economic order , we have set our feet upon the road of enduring progress.Shall we pause now and turn our back upon the road that lies ahead ？Shall we call this the promised land ？Or ,shall we continue on our way ？For “Each age is a dream that is dying , or one that is coming to birth.”

Many voices are heard as we face a great decision.Comfort says , “Tarry a while.” Opportunism says , “This is a good spot.”Timidity asks , “How difficult is the road ahead ?”

True ,we have come far from the days of stagnation and despair.Vitality has been preserved.Courage and confidence have been restored.Mental and moral horizons have been extended.But our present gains were won under the pressure of more than ordinary circumstances.Advance became imperative under the good of fear and suffering.The times were on the side of progress.To hold to progress today , however , is more difficult.Dulled conscience , irresponsibility , and ruthless self-interest already reappear.Such symptoms of prosperity may become portents of disaster!Prosperity already tests the persistence of our progressive purpose.Let us ask again : Have we reach the goal of our vision of that fourth day of March 1933 ? Have we found our happy valley ? I see a great nation , upon a great continent , blessed with a great wealth of natural resources.Its hundred and thirty million people are at peace among themselves;they are making their county a good neighbour among the nations.I see a U nited States which can demonstrate that , under democratic methods of government , national wealth can be translated into a spreading volume of human comforts hitherto unknown , and the lowest standard of living

can be raised far above the level of mere subsistence.But here is the challenge to our democracy : In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens---a substantial part of its whole population---who at this very moment are denied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life.I see millions of families trying to live on incomes so meager that the pall of family disaster hangs over them day by day.I see millions whose daily lives in city and on farm continue under conditions labeled indecent by a so-called polite society half a century ago.I see millions denied education , recreation , and the opportunity to better their lot and the lot of their children.I see millions lacking the means to buy the products of farm and factory and by their poverty denying work and productiveness to many other millions.I see one-third of a nation ill-clad , ill-housed , ill-nourished.It is not in despair that I paint you that picture.I paint it for you in hope---because the Nation , seeing and understanding the injustice in it , proposes to paint it out.We are determined to make every American citizen the subject of his country’s interest and concern;and we will never regard any faithful law-abiding group within our borders we add more to the abundance of those who have much;it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.If I know aught of the spirit and purpose of our Nation , we will not listen to Comfort , Opportunism , and Timidity.We will carry on.Overwhelmingly , we of the Republic are men and women of good will;men and women who have more than warm hearts of dedication;men and women who have cool heads and willing hands of practical purpose as well.They will insist that every agency of popular government use effective instruments to carry out their will.Government is competent when all who compose it work as trustees for the whole people.It can make constant progress when it keeps abreast of all the facts.It can obtain justified support and legitimate criticism when the people receive true information of all that government does.If I know aught of the will of our people , they wil demand that these conditions of effective government shall be created and maintained.They will demand a nation uncorrupted by cancers of injustice and , therefore , strong among the nations in its example of the will to peace.Today we reconsecrate our country to long-cherished ideals in a suddenly changed civilization.In every land there are always at work forces that drive men apart and forces that draw men together.In our personal ambitions we are individualists.But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation , we all go up , or else we all go down , as one people.To maintain a democracy of effort requires a vast amount of patience in dealing with differing methods , a vast amount of humility.But out of the confusion of many voices rises an understanding of dominant public need.Then political leadership can voice common ideals , and aid in their realizatioin.In talking again the oath of office as President of the United States , I assume the solemn obligation of leading the American people forward along the road over which they have chosen to advance.While this dutty rests upon me I shall do my utmost to speak their purpose and to do theit will , seeking Divine guidance to help us each and every one to give light to them that sit in darkness and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

第五篇：《富兰克林》读后感

富兰克林是美国的一位传奇总统，昨天我读了一个关于他的故事。给了我很多的启示，让我们学到了很多的知识。

故事情节是这样的：有一天，猫头鹰老师教大家拼写单词。猫头鹰老师觉得大家做的都很好，就让大家好好准备，明天听写，全对的人能得到一支钢笔。这时，小地鼠说：“我这次考试一定是满分，老师，你现在就把钢笔给我吧，我还想用它来考试呢！”猫头鹰老师说：“这必须得看明天的考试结果。”富兰克林一晚上都在准备，但他只有pencil这个词不会，所以他就反复地练习。富兰克林为了保险，就把写pencil的单词纸贴在帽子里，这下他能放心的睡觉了。第二天，开始听写了，当老师念到最后一个单词pencil时富兰克林突然忘了，他就看了一下贴在帽子里的单词纸，然后他就写出来了。后来，成绩出来了，富兰克林都答对了，得到了钢笔，但他觉得自己作弊是不好的，就把钢笔还给老师了。看完这个故事，我明白了许多道理。首先是我们不能太自满，就像小地鼠，还没开始考试，就说自己一定能考一百分，这是不对的。

还有，富兰克林考试时作弊了，但他后来又把钢笔还给老师了。
