Ten-year-old Barack Obama (奥巴马)was one of the only three black students at his school in Hawaii, the US. He is different from most of the other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him if his father ate people.
‘I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince(肯尼亚王子). But I kept asking myself who I was.’ said Obama.
However, 37 years later, the boy became well-known. On November 4th, 2008, Obama became the first black president in US history with 297 electoral (选举的) votes.
Obama was born in 1961, to an African father and a white American woman from a small town in the US. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. This unusual background made him wonder who he was. He once turned to alcohol（酒精）to help forget this question.
With the help of his friends, Obama finally turned his life around in the university. His hard work made him star at Harvard University. Later, he became the third black senator (参议员) in US history.
During his race to the highest post in the US, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than a white America or a black America. ‘Obama’s success has made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is : A man should not be judged by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his character.’ he said at the speech in Chicago soon after he was elected.

查看习题详情和答案>>money , parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England , the United
States or Australia . They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either
learn a musical instrument or ballet ,or other classes that will give them a head start in life . The Chinese
believe that the more expensive an education is , the better it is . So parents will spend an unreasonable
amount of money on education .Even poor families will buy a computer for their son or daughter .
However , what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children
is usually very cheap .
Parents can see that their children's skills vary (变化),skilled in some areas while poor in others.
What most parents fail to realize is that today's children lack (缺少) self-respect and self-confidence .
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests
and how to study well , but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be
confident ,happy and clever .
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking , sewing and doing other housewk .
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life . Cooking needs
patience and time . It is an enjoyable but difficult experience . A good cook always tries to improve his
cooking ,so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully .His result , a well-cooked
dinner , will give him much satisfaction (满意) and a lot of self-confidence .
Some old machines ,such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make
him curious (好奇的) and arouse (唤起) his interest . He will spend hours looking at them , trying to fix
them ; your child might become an engineer when he grows up . These activities are not only teaching a
child to read a book , but rather to think , to use his mind . And that is more important .
