He became a friend of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and together they founded Americas first school for the deaf.Laurent Clerc was born i

39、n a small village near Lyons, France, on December 26, 1785. When he was one year old, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his sense of smell. At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he did well in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to

40、stay on as an assistant teacher. Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he

41、was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Clerc was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the offer. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet t

42、o return, he asked Clerc to come with him. Clerc accepted on one condition: that he would stay in America only a short time.The two men set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Clerc and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Clerc studied English, and Gall

44、 taught signs to Principal Gallaudet; he taught the pupils; and he taught hearing men who came to the school to study deaf education.

50、cation.CMost people say “yes” much more readily than “no”. A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your hom

51、ework for “reference”. But, youve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice

52、, in fact, according to psychologists.“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying no risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettab

53、le. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.Most people believe that “If I say no,

54、 Ill lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from ones own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being
