题目内容

　　Look at this sculpture. Do you know the man with a beard among the four famous American presidents? You are right. He is Abraham Lincoln. He had two nicknames--“Honest Abe”and“Homely Abe”in his life.“Homely Abe”means he was not good-looking. Before his presidential election in the year 1860, something happened. One day, he got an interesting letter from a girl, Grace Bedell. In the letter she wrote about Lincoln's homely face in a very polite way and made some suggestions:

　　I am a little girl only 11 years old, but I want you to be the President of the United States very much so I hope you won't think me very bold to write to such a great men as you are...

　　I have got four brothers and most of them will vote for you anyway, and if you will let your whiskers grow, I will try to get the rest of them to vote for you. You would look a great deal better for your face is so thin. All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husband to vote for you, and then you would be President…

　　Did Miss Grace use modem English grammar? No, she didn't. Because she wrote the letter many years ago. After reading the little girl's letter, Lincoln took her advice and he didn't shave over the next weeks before the election. By the election day, he already had enough beard. He did get elected. Maybe his success had something to do with the girl's advice. From then on he did wear the beard for the rest of his life.
