适合SAT写作的例子我们在准备SAT写作素材的时候,例子的选取很重要。

对所选人物的深度挖掘和理解,比只注重数量却对每一个例子都浅尝辄止的做法要好。

下面小编给大家列举了一些适合SAT写作的例子,供大家参考。

1.Charles Schulz/查尔斯舒尔茨简介:查尔斯·舒尔茨,2000年2月12日因肠结癌辞世,享年77岁。

写作例子:Charles Monroe Schulz is an Americancartoonist, whose comic strip Peanuts is considered to be one of the most popularand influential in the history of the medium. Although Charles was a shy, timidteenager, he was steadfast and persistent. It is his self-defeatingstubbornness and admirable perseverance in trying his best against all oddsthat made him a popular figure. He can never win a ballgame but continues toplay baseball; he can never fly a kite successfully but continues to do so.Although his drawings were first rejected by his high school yearbook and thenrefused by Disney, he persevered and created the world renowned Charlie Brownand Snoopy, known as Peanut comic, which reflects his own life. Peanuts ran for50 years, and, at its peak, appeared in more than 2,600 newspapers in 75countries.2.Jack Welch/杰克韦尔奇简介:杰克·韦尔奇(Jack Welch)是通用电气(GE)董事长兼CEO。

SAT写作之名人的经典例子(二)

SAT写作之名人的经典例子(二)

SAT写作之名人的经典例子(二)在SAT写作中,恰当地举一些名人例子能让观点更有说服力,为文章增色不少。

下面小编为大家分领域整理了一些可以用在SAT写作中的名人例子,供大家参考。

SAT写作常用例子的领域分为8大领域:文学/电影/艺术/科学/体育/商业/历史/个人从广义上说,文学和电影都可以归为艺术门下,但由于这两个子类包含的例子比较丰富,所以单独列出来。

艺术领域其实还可以细分,比如绘画、音乐、舞蹈、雕塑、建筑、设计等;科学又可分为天文、生物、数学、物理、化学、经济学、计算机等子领域。

文学和电影又包含两个层面,文学家、电影明星、导演等可以做例子;文学作品、电影中的情节也可以拿来做例子。

下面我们就从这几个领域入手去看看分别有什么例子可以借用。

1 文学文学领域,有一本经典名著推荐大家读一下——《动物庄园》(Animal Farm),书不厚,语言也不难,建议大家直接买原版来读。

作者乔治奥威尔,他的另外一本书“1984”同样也是经典。

《动物庄园》这本书被誉为二十世纪最伟大的政治寓言。

讲的是一个动物农场中动物们不满人类主人的虐待,联合起来把主人赶跑了,成了一个动物“自治”的庄园。

结果慢慢的,猪成了新的统治阶级,用谎言和欺骗压榨剥削其他的动物。

在小说中,动物们对新的权威——猪深信不疑,乃至让猪日渐嚣张跋扈作威作福,而他们自己最终沦落到悲惨的境地。

比如猪在革命时曾说:所有动物生而平等(ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL)。

等猪成了统治者之后,偷偷在这句话后面加上了:有些动物比其他动物更平等(BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS)。

此外,猪为了维护统治还刻意涂改历史、通过保持神秘感、垄断教育、树立劳模等方式来愚弄动物们,和某些国家的做法如出一辙,真的很有意思。

2 电影涉及挑战权威主题的电影也有很多,在这里推荐一部电影——《三个傻瓜》(Three Idiots),相信有不少同学已经看过。

SAT写作例子在作文中该怎么运用

SAT写作例子在作文中该怎么运用

SAT写作例子在作文中该怎么运用sat写作例子是支持sat写作文章的论据部分,所以为了能够充分论证论点,一定要选择尤为恰当的例子,至于怎么选择,建议大家多参考sat范文,从中学习方法,下面小编为同学们介绍一下sat写作考试中如何用例子。

sat写作考试怎么使用例子?首先,我们来看一个题目:Can knowledge be a burden rather than a benefit?我们来分析一下这个题目:Knowledge→human civilization ← human intelligence reflecting (essence)To knowledge: the more the better→does well to human beings ←Benefits: treasureof our ancestors---the sources of creation---heritage of social elites of the past---the power of development---mental satisfying通过这个简单的关系图,我们可以清楚的看到题目中 knowledge 和 people 以及 humansociety 之间的关系,对于SAT ESSAY,给出的 Assignment 都是在社会中有过普遍讨论的,因此,题目具有争议性。

也就是说,从题目中指出的两个方面我们都可以进行组织和论述:Statement: YES or NOYESNuclear weapon→the threaten of war →destabilize the whole human societyE.X.: nuclear power utilizing (negative)Plastic bags pollution→created by knowledge→brings convenience to our life→ beyond our ability of solving problem which caused by the using of them→Isaac Newton: the cats’ holes storyThere was a time one of Newton’s friends went to visit him, he saw two holes onthe wall of Newton’s house, and then he asked for the reason Isaac opened twodifferent holes, one was big, and the other was small. The explanation was: the bigger one was designed for my big cat, and the small one was for the little catty. Then his friend asked, why could not the small cat go through the big hole? Isaac Newton was one of the elites who owned loads of knowledge. However, knowledge became a burden to himat that time.When the famous thesis was printed by Einstein on “the Theory of Relativity”, the applying of nuclear power seemed to be already. In this paper, Albert pointed out an equation---the Mass-Energy Equation---which could apparently tell people how to utilize the potential energy involved in single atom. The World War II broke out at the same time, Japan, one of the alliances of German, assaulted the Pearl Harbor which led to the Pacific Battle. In order to force Japan back out, Einstein suggested President Roosevelt to use nuclear weapon. Consequently, Japan became the only country in the world which suffered the pain of nuclear weapon. Einstein kept feeling guilty afterthat because his knowledge killed thousands of people.NOConvenient life enjoying→the benefits of knowledge→creation of human beings →the change to our lifeEnergy resources→general energy resource→high efficient energy →environmental-friendly energyIsaac Newton would not believe that the knowledge he mastered would change the world of human so dramatically. The creations of human beings after Newton helped people to build a new kind of life. Space exploration, construction of cities, and even those motorcars which could be the sign of “modern civilization” were based on the contribution of Isaac Newton---“Calculus” and “Newton’s rules of motion” and “Newton’s Science World”.其中涉及到了部分例子的选择和使用,大家可以看到,对于这样的题目,我们在选择一些熟悉例子(比如爱因斯坦、牛顿等)可以考虑使用这样例子中不经常被人们提到,但是非常适合我们文章讨论的地方,比如文中使用了牛顿的“猫洞”故事。

However, with the help of his friend Peter, by his own unique management skills and contrary thinking, he looked and called together some baseball members who were bad-tempered or not good on surface but proficient in certain area of baseball sport. Of course, this move caused a great sensation and argumentation among the coaches and other managers, who forbade Billy’s members entering the field. In order to change the system, Billy sold out other members who seemed to play well, so the other managers had no choice but to let his members play. Regardless of criticism and question, Billy led his team to the victory and even to the degree that can compete with the strong New York Yankees.It was Billy’s unique management styles and the courage to fight against the old system that led his team to victory.比利比恩比利比恩是美国职棒大联盟奥克兰运动家队的总经理,他以带领运动家队立足于美国职棒大联盟而著名。

SAT作文例子总结

SAT作文例子总结

SAT作文例子总结SAT作文例子总结Great SoulsØ Nelson MandelaMandela, the South African black political leader and former president, was awarded 1993 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to antiracism and antiapartheid. Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the centre of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality. (138)Ø GandhiMahatma Gandhi was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of the resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon total non-violence—which led India to independence and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He is officially honored in India as the Father of the Nation. After assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns to ease poverty, expand women's rights, build religious and ethnic amity, and increase economic self-reliance. Above all, he aimed to achieve the independence of India from foreign domination. Later he campaigned against the British to Quit India. Gandhi spent a number of years in jail in both South Africa and India. (128)Additionally, Gandhi influenced important leaders and political movements. Leaders of the civil rights movement in the United States, including Martin Luther King and James Lawson, drew from the writings of Gandhi in the development of their own theories about non-violence. Anti-apartheid activist and former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, was inspired by Gandhi. Prior to becoming President of the United States, then-Senator Barack Obama noted that: Throughout my life, I havealways looked to Mahatma Gandhi as an inspiration, because he embodies the kind of transformational change that can be made when ordinary people come together to do extraordinary things. That is why his portrait hangs in my Senate office: to remind me that real results will come not just from Washington – they will come from the people. (129)Ø Martin Luther KingMartin Luther King, Jr. was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil right movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States and he is frequently referenced as a human rights icon today. King led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the Vietnam War, both from a religious perspective. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986. (192)Ø Mother TeresaMother Teresa was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun with Indian citizenship who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India in 1950. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity‘s expansion. Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity continued to expand, and at the time of her death it was operating 610 missions in 123 countries, including hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis, children's and family counseling programs, and schools. By the 1970s she was internationally famed as a humanitarian and advocated for the poor and helpless. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna in 1980 for her humanitarian work. (122) Ø Susan B. AnthonyAlthough I am not a feminist, I admire Susan B. Anthony for her daring to hold on to her view even being mocked cruelly by her contemporaries.A tireless civil rights worker, Anthony devoted her life to the work which has guaranteed women’s basic right, in cluding suffrage and equal protections under law. She believed that men and women are created equal and persevered unremittingly in opening doors and expanding acceptable modes of behavior for women. In the patriarchy society of her time, people considered her unladylike and ridiculous. However, 19th Amendment to the Constitution gives women’s rights to vote, which established Susan B. Anthony as a bold revolutionary feminist in history. (111) Ø Margaret SangerMargaret Sanger sparked the birth control movement with the publication of The Woman Rebel, in which she encourages women to view conception as a choice rather than an obligation. In 1923, her tireless efforts resulted in the establishment of America's first legal birth control clinic, which served as a contraceptive dispensary and research facility under the auspices of the American Birth Control League (one of the groups that eventually morphed into Planned Parenthood). The birth control movement has had far-reaching, worldwide implications, from women's rights to population control to the sexual revolution. (92) Bright MindsØ NewtonNewton’s aim at Cambridge was a law degree. Instruction at Cambridge was dominated by the philosophy of Aristotle but some freedom of study was allowed in the third year of the course. Newton had a golden opportunity to study an abundance of great minds: the philosophy of Descartes, Gassendi, Hobbes, and in particular Boyle. The mechanics of the Copernican astronomy of Galileo attracted him and he also studied Kepler’s Optics. It is a fascinating account of how Newton’s ideas were formed. He collected all these thoughts and developed his own system by which he successfully explained a wide range of previously unrelated phenomena: the eccentric orbits of comets, the process ion of the Earth’s axis, and motion of the Moon as perturbed by the gravity of the Sun, as well as the three laws of motion that made him an international leader in scientific research and the greatest pilot in human’s civilization. (157)ØDarwin’s Origin of SpeciesThe theory of evolution is one of the great intellectual revolutions of human history. Hundreds of years ago, people were confused with the complexity of different species of the world, and believed that specieswere created by the mysterious God. However, Darwin did not believe so. After several years' study, he eventually demonstrated that species, however complex seemingly, all evolved by natural selection from simple and preliminary conditions. When Darwin published his famous research results on the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, the book encountered lots of controversies. Members of the religious community, as well as some scientific peers, were outraged and protested. However, Darwin's idea of evolution eventually defeated the traditional belief and was accepted and acknowledged by some insightful scientists and finally by the society. It is now reverenced as one of the greatest intellectual revolutions of human history. (144)Ø Nicolaus CopernicusNicolaus Copernicus was a Polish mathematician and astronomer who proposed that the sun was stationary in the center of the universe and the earth revolved around it. Disturbed by the failure of Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe to follow Aristotle's requirement for the uniform circular motion of all celestial bodies, Copernicus decided that he could achieve his goal only through a heliocentric model. He thereby created a concept of a universe in which the distances of the planets from the sun bore a direct relationship to the size of their orbits. At the time Copernicus's heliocentric idea was very controversial; nevertheless, it was the start of a change in the way the world was viewed, and Copernicus came to be seen as the initiator of the Scientific Revolution. (129)Ø Galileo GalileiGalileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo's observations about four satellites of Jupiter with his new telescope convinced him of the truth of Copernicus's sun-centered or heliocentric theory. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy," the "father of modern physics," and "the Father of Modern Science." Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science." (96) Ø Christopher ColumbusIn 1485, Columbus presented his plans to John II, King of Portugal. He requested he be made "Great Admiral of the Ocean", appointed governorof any and all lands he discovered, and given one-tenth of all revenue from those lands. The king submitted the proposal to his experts and rejected it. In 1488 Columbus appealed to the court of Portugal once again, and once again it also proved unsuccessful. Then, Columbus travelled from Portugal to both Genoa and Venice, but he received encouragement from neither. In1486, Columbus presented his plans to Queen Isabella. After the passing of much time, these savants of Spain, like their counterparts in Portugal, pronounced the idea impractical, and advised their Royal Highnesses to pass on the proposed venture. But after endless attempts at establishing a settlement of Hispanism, Catholic Monarchs finally gave him an annual allowance of 12,000 maravedis and furnished him with a letter ordering all cities and towns under their domain to provide him food and lodging with which Columbus successfully initiated widespread contact between Europeans and indigenous Americans and carved out thecross-continental trade market. (183)Ø John NashBefore 1950, Adam Smith was respected as “the father of Game Theory”, he wrote a famous book named The Wealth of Nations and demonstrated “perfect competition” which was commonly accepted by people. There is a sentence from the book “Individual ambition serious the common good” which means when each individual pursue his own interests, the benefits of the group will be improved most effectively. However, John Nash, a normal mathematician in Princeton University, created a theory “Nash Equilibrium” which laid the foundation of Game Theory in 1950. He doubted the statement from Adam Smith, and he succeeded. John Nash wrote a 28 pages dissertation to argue a new theory. Due to the fact that personal benefits conflict each other, the interest of a group will be harmed. To ensure the interests of whole group, individuals should find equilibrium between the personal and group interests. Consequently, John Nash received the Nobel Prize in economics and fundamentally reformed the arena of economics. (160)Ø Alfred Bernhard Nobel-1Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, armaments manufacturer and the inventor of dynamite. To be able to detonate the dynamite rods he also invented a detonator which could be ignited by lighting a fuse. The market for dynamite and detonating caps grew very rapidly and Alfred Nobel also proved himself to be a very skillful entrepreneur and businessman. He later produced ballistite, oneof the first smokeless powders. At the time of his death, his will provide his enormous fortune of the major portion of $9 million estate to institute the Nobel Prize, a yearly prize for merit in physics, chemistry, medicine and physiology, literature, and world peace. The synthetic element nobelium was named after him. (119)Ø Thomas EdisonIn 19th century, people could only get light from candles, but it suffered from several disadvantages, including exorbitantly high price and in adequate lightness. Thomas Edison, one of the most prominent inventors in the 20th century, overcame 1500 failure and suitable filament for electric light bulb which were affordable for all people to buy and use. He tried numerous materials such as iron, copper, aluminum, silver, hair, even his colleague’s brown beard, but he fails all times. Nevertheless he did not give up and dedicated himself in finding the best material. The belief held by him was that “we will make the e lectricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.” He had the first successful experiment in 1879, finding that carbon filament can last over 40 hours, but he and his team were not satisfied for that. Through hundreds of tough trying, they finally found carbonized bamboo filament which could last over 1200 hours. Furthermore, the light bulbs invented by Edison with the most suitable filament have not only lighted up the world, but influenced people’s lives all over the world until now. (185)Ø The Wright BrothersThe Wright brothers, credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane. But equally important is that they have walked a long way and endured numerous failures hardships and frustrations before the final success.1900 GliderIn the first tests, the glider flew as a kite not far above the ground with men below holding tether ropes. Most of the kite tests were unpiloted with sandbags or chains (and even a local boy) as onboard ballast. Although the glider's lift was less than expected, the brothers were encouraged because the craft's front elevator worked well and they had no accidents. However, the small number of free glides meant they were not able to give wing-warping a true test.1901 GliderHoping to improve lift, they built the 1901 glider with a much larger wing area and made 50 to 100 flights. The glider, however, deliveredanother disappointment. It produced only about one-third the lift calculated and sometimes failed to respond properly to wing-warping. Back home, putting aside the three-wheel bicycle, they built a tunnel. The devices allowed the brothers to balance lift against drag and accurately calculate the performance of each wing.1902 Glider and final successThe Wrights designed their 1902 glider, using another crucial discovery from the wind tunnel while they made the airfoil flatter. The improved wing design enabled consistently longer glides. With their new method the Wrights achieved true control in turns for the first time in 1902, a major milestone. On March 23, 1903, the Wrights applied for their famous patent for a "Flying Machine", based on their successful 1902 glider. They asserted that perfection of the 1902 glider essentially represents invention of the airplane. (280)扫描二维码限时获取免费视频课程。

Throughout the passage he uses the findings of meny National Associations to show that these young adults won’t be able to land jobs due to their lack of reading and appreciation of the arts. Then he transitions into how society as a whole will become more free, innovative, and productive through reading alone. Gioia uses evidense found in surveys, polls, and other articles to support his arguement. He seamlessly moves to his next idea while still supporting al of his previous claims. The level of writing shows he is skilled at persuading, for he connects to the reader through a very concerning topic, education.This paper scored a 2/2/2.Reading—2: This response demonstrates limited compr ehension of Gioia’s text. The writer does demonstrate an understanding of Gioia’s central ideas: our society is actually losing interest in literature and society as a whole will become more free, innovative, and productive through reading. However, the writer provides little evidence of understanding the details Gioia provides to support these claims. The writer does briefly mention the 2002 survey Gioia cites and also vaguely refers to Gioia’s use of the findings of meny NationalAssociations and evidence from surveys, polls, and other articles, but neglects to effectively summarize or quote from these pieces of evidence. Although there are no errors of interpretation or fact in the essay, this incomplete understanding demonstrates only partially successful reading comprehension.Analysis—2: The writer demonstrates a partial understanding of the analytical task by offering limited analysis of the source text. The writer does identify in a general way the kinds of evidence Gioia draws on (for example, surveys, polls, and other articles) but fails to analyze how these pieces of evidence work to support Gioia’s argument. When the writer attempts to describe how Gioia builds his argument, the writer merely praises, rather than explains, the structure of Gioia’s text (He seamlessly moves to his next idea while still supporting al of his previous claims). The writer compliments Gioia’s argumentation (The level of writing shows he is skilled at persuading, for he connects to the reader through a very concerning topic, education), but does not, for example, explain how or why Gioia is able to connect to the reader. Overall, this response demonstrates only partially successful analysis.Writing—2: This response demonstrates limited cohesion and writing skill. The response lacks a clear central claim or controlling idea. Although the writer does end the essay with a summary sentence (The level of writing shows he is skilled at persuading, for he connects to the reader through a very concerningtopic, education), the response does not include a true introduction or conclusion to frame the discussion. The response does demonstrate some progression of ideas; however, given that the response is only one paragraph long, this progression is demonstrated on a very limited scale. Although the writer displays relatively good control of language and vocabulary, there simply is not enough text here to assess the ability to organize ideas or paragraphs. For these reasons, this paper demonstrates only partially successful writing.三立在线课程培训优势班级种类:(预约试听和科学选班请详询老师)一对一在线授课班,其优势:一对一是指听说读写都由不同的老师教授,而不是由一位老师负责学生的全部课程。

所有例子收集:约翰纳什的例子:通过质疑原来亚当·斯密的经济理论,约翰·纳什因为他的博弈论而获得了诺贝尔经济学奖。

在20世纪50年代以前,亚当·斯密(当时被尊称为现代经济学之父)的经济学理论已经在经济和金融领域广为认可。

在《国富论》一书中,他提出了人们的个人野心服务于整个社会的理论,也就是说如果一个人仅仅追求他们个人的利益就能让整个社会受益。

在当时质疑他的理论被看做是一种冒失的自以为是的行为。

但是,约翰·纳什发现了这个理论的缺陷,因此他毫不犹豫地质疑了斯密的理论。

他坚持认为,有些时候人们的野心与个人利益是互相冲突的,这可能给整个社会带来负面的影响。

通过坚持这个理念和个人的不懈努力,纳什最终提出了一个系统的理论——“纳什均衡论”,这一理论从根本上改变了经济学领域。

由于纳什的这一重大突破性发现,他在1994年因为个人的杰出贡献获得了诺贝尔经济学奖。

(主题句)Before 1950s, the economic theory of Adam Smith (who was respected as the father of modern economics) was prevalently accepted in the realm of economics and finance. In the book of The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith claimed that individual ambition serves the common good, which means that if the individual members of a group just strive to earn their own interests, the whole group will benefit. It would be presumptuous to challenge his theory at that time. Yet, John Nash found the flaws of this theory, hence he questioned Smith’s theory without any hesitation by insisting that sometimes the ambitions of individuals are conflicting, which would lead to negative results to the whole group. Through insisting this belief and personal persistent endeavor, Nash developed a systematical theory called “Nash equilibrium”, which fundamentally changed the realm of economics. Due to the breakthrough of this magnitude, Nash won the Nobel Prize of Economics in 1994 for his eminent contribution.杰克韦尔奇的例子:通过挑战权威,杰克·韦尔奇为通用电气公司注入了新鲜的健康的血液,并使它成为了顶尖级公司。

sat写作人物经典例子:托马斯杰弗逊In the thick of party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a private letter, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."This powerful advocate of liberty was born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia, inheriting from his father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 acres of land, and from his mother, a Randolph, high social standing. He studied at the College of William and Mary, then read law.In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skelton, a widow, and took her to live in his partly constructed mountaintop home, Monticello.Freckled and sandy-haired, rather tall and awkward, Jefferson was eloquent as a correspondent, but he was no public speaker. In the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress, he contributed his pen rather than his voice to the patriot cause. As the "silent member" of the Congress, Jefferson, at 33, drafted the Declaration of Independence. In years following he labored to make its words a reality in Virginia. Most notably, he wrote a bill establishing religious freedom, enacted in 1786.Jefferson succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785. His sympathy for the French Revolution led him into conflict with Alexander Hamilton when Jefferson was Secretaryof State in President Washington's Cabinet. He resigned in 1793.Sharp political conflict developed, and two separate parties, the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans, began to form. Jefferson gradually assumed leadership of the Republicans, who sympathized with the revolutionary cause in France. Attacking Federalist policies, he opposed a strong centralized Government and championed the rights of states.As a reluctant candidate for President in 1796, Jefferson came within three votes of election. Through a flaw in the Constitution, he became Vice President, although an opponent of President Adams. In 1800 the defect caused a more serious problem. Republican electors, attempting to name both a President and a Vice President from their own party, cast a tie vote between Jefferson and Aaron Burr. The House of Representatives settled the tie. Hamilton, disliking both Jefferson and Burr, nevertheless urged Jefferson's election.When Jefferson assumed the Presidency, the crisis in France had passed. He slashed Army and Navy expenditures, cut the budget, eliminated the tax on whiskey so unpopular in the West, yet reduced the national debt by a third. He also sent a naval squadron to fight the Barbary pirates, who were harassing American commerce in the Mediterranean. Further, although the Constitution made no provision for the acquisition of new land, Jefferson suppressed his qualms over constitutionality when he had the opportunity to acquire the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon in 1803.During Jefferson's second term, he was increasingly preoccupied with keeping the Nation from involvement in the Napoleonic wars, though both England and France interfered with the neutral rights of American merchantmen. Jefferson'sattempted solution, an embargo upon American shipping, worked badly and was unpopular.Jefferson retired to Monticello to ponder such projects as his grand designs for the University of Virginia. A French nobleman observed that he had placed his house and his mind "on an elevated situation, from which he might contemplate the universe."He died on July 4, 1826.sat写作人物经典材料:Wolfgang Amadeus MozartWolfgang Amadeus Mozart(27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty; at 17 he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of Mozart's death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons.Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed abrilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate. His influence on subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years."sat写作人物经典素材:笛卡尔Rene Descartes (1596-1650) is one of the most important Western philosophers of the past few centuries. During his lifetime, Descartes was just as famous as an original physicist, physiologist and mathematician. But it is as a highly original philosopher that he is most frequently read today. He attempted to restart philosophy in a fresh direction. For example, his philosophy refused to accept the Aristotelian and Scholastic traditions that had dominated philosophical thought throughout the Medieval period; it attempted to fully integrate philosophy with the "new" sciences; and Descartes changed the relationship between philosophy and theology. Such new directions for philosophy made Descartes into a revolutionary figure.The two most widely known of Descartes' philosophical ideas are those of a method of hyperbolic doubt, and the argument that, though he may doubt, he cannot doubt that he exists. The first of these comprises a key aspect of Descartes' philosophical method. As noted above, he refused to accept the authority of previous philosophers - but he also refused to accept the obviousness of his own senses. In the search for a foundation for philosophy, whatever could be doubted must be rejected. He resolves to trust only that which is clearly and distinctly seen to be beyond any doubt. In this manner, Descartes peels away the layers of beliefs and opinions that clouded his view of the truth.But, very little remains, only the simple fact of doubting itself, and the inescapable inference that something exists doubting, namely Descartes himself.His next task is to reconstruct our knowledge piece by piece, such that at no stage is the possibility of doubt allowed to creep back in. In this manner, Descartes proves that he himself must have the basic characterisitc of thinking, and that this thinking thing (mind) is quite distinct from his body; the existence of a God; the existence and nature of the external world; and so on. What is important in this for Descartes is, first, that he is showing that knowledge is genuinely possible (and thus that sceptics must be mistaken), and, second, that, more particularly, a mathematically-based scientific knowledge of the material world is possible.Descartes' work was influential, although his studies in physics and the other natural sciences much less so than his mathematical and philosophical work. Throughout the 17th and 18th Centuries, Descartes' philosophical ghost was always present; Locke, Hume, Leibniz and even Kant felt compelled to philosophical entanglement with this intellectual giant. For these reasons, Descartes is often called the "father" of modern philosophy.This article provides an overview of Descartes' philosophical thought following the order of his most famous and widely-studied book, the Meditations on First Philosophy.。

Chris Gardner tells 20/20 how he worked to move himself from a life of homelessness to a successful life as a businessman.Gardner is the head of his own brokerage firm and lives in a Chicago T ownhouse--one of his three homes with a collection of tailored suits, designer shoes, and Miles Davis albums.His path to this extraordinary success took a series of extraordinary turns. Just 20 years ago, Gardner was homeless and living, on occasion, in a bathroom at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in Oakland, Calif.Gardner was raised by his mother, a schoolteacher. He says he never knew his father while he was growing up. But his mother had a way of keeping him grounded when he dreamed of things like being a jazz trumpeter.Mothers have a way of saying things, Gardner said, She explained to me, Son, theres only one Miles Davis and he got that job. So you have to do something else. But what that something else was, I did not know.Gardner credits his uncles with providing the male influence he needed. Many of them were military veterans. So, straight out of high school, he enlisted in the Navy for four years. He says it gave him a sense of what was possible.A Red Ferrari and a Turning PointAfter the military, Gardner took a job as a medical supply salesman. Then, he says, he reached another turning point in his life. In a parking lot, he met a man driving a red Ferrari. He was looking for a parking space. And I said, You can have mine. But I gotta ask you two questions. The two questions were: What do you do? And how do you do that? Turns out this guy was a stockbroker and he was making $80,000 a month.。

父亲是电子工程师与教师,第一次世界大战的老兵。

纳什小时孤独内向,虽然父母对他照顾有加,但老师认为他不合群不善社交。

纳什的数学天分大约在14岁开始展现。

他在普林斯顿大学读博士时刚刚二十出头,但他的一篇关于非合作博弈的博士论文和其他相关文章,确立了他博弈论大师的地位。

在20世纪50年代末,他已是闻名世界的科学家了。

然而,正当他的事业如日中天的时候,30岁的纳什得了严重的精神分裂症。

他的妻子艾利西亚———麻省理工学院物理系毕业生,表现出钢铁一般的意志:她挺过了丈夫被禁闭治疗、孤立无援的日子,走过了惟一儿子同样罹患精神分裂症的震惊与哀伤……漫长的半个世纪之后,她的耐心和毅力终于创下了了不起的奇迹:和她的儿子一样,纳什教授渐渐康复,并在1994年获得诺贝尔奖经济学奖。

如今,纳什已经基本恢复正常,并重新开始科学研究。

他现在是普林斯顿大学数学教授,但已经不再任教。

学校经济学系经常会举办有关博弈论的论坛,纳什有时候会参加,但是他几乎从不发言,每次都是静静地来,静静地走。

John Nash(1928-)When the young Nash had applied to graduate school at Princeton in 1948, his old Carnegie Tech professor, R.J. Duffin, wrote only one line on his letter of recommendation: "This man is a genius". It was at Princeton that Nash encountered the theory of games, then recently launched by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern. However, they had only managed to solve non-cooperative games in the case of "pure rivalries" (i.e. zero-sum). The young Nash turned to rivalries with mutual gain. His trick was the use of best-response functions and a recent theorem that had just emerged - Kakutani's fixed point-theorem. His main result, the "Nash Equilibrium", was published in 1950 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He followed this up with a paper which introduced yet another solution concept - this time for two-person cooperative games - the "Nash Bargaining Solution" (NBS) in 1950. A 1951 paper attached his name to yet another side of economics - this time, the "Nash Programme", reflecting his methodological call for the reduction of all cooperative games into a non-cooperative framework.His contributions to mathematics were no less remarkable. As an undergraduate, he had inadvertently (and independently) proved Brouwer's fixed point theorem. Later on, he went on to break one of Riemann's most perplexing mathematical conundrums. From then on, Nash provided breakthrough after breakthrough in mathematics. In 1958, on the threshold of his career, Nash got struck by paranoid schizophrenia. He lost his job at M.I.T. in 1959 (he had been tenured there in 1958 - at the age of 29) and was virtually incapicated by the disease for the next two decades or so. He roamed about Europe and America, finally,returning to Princeton where he became a sad, ghostly character on the campus - "the Phantom of Fine Hall" as Rebecca Goldstein described him in her novel, Mind-Body Problem. The disease began to evaporate in the early 1970s and Nash began to gradually to return to his work in mathematics. However, Nash himself associated his madness with his living on an "ultralogical" plane, "breathing air too rare" for most mortals, and if being "cured" meant he could no longer do any original work at that level, then, Nash argued, a remission might not be worthwhile in the end. As John Dryden once put it:Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide.Key words: economist illness Nobel price winner3.法拉第,迈克尔法拉第(1791 -- 1867)是英国物理学家、化学家,也是著名的自学成才的科学家。

It is obvious that after reaching the personal peak in Germany, Hitler‟s increasing aggression eventually resulted in the disastrous holocaust of millions of innocent people as well as his own suicidal. Therefore, success can be devastating to the whole society if captured and misused by some over-greedy people to realize their evil goal.
Though Tyson‟s success brought disastrous effect to his life, luckily, the disaster hardly prevented other people from their own pursuit of happiness. However, if success accidently lay to those who tend to use it as a method of satisfying personal ambition at the risk of other people‟s well-being —— the public, unfortunately, has to foot the bill of their abuse of success.
To some extent, we had to admit that he really underwent some unsuccessful time, resulting mainly from penury. (承上启下) But rather than giving himself up to hard time, he gradually got matured from various difficulties, strengthened his will and sharpened his wits.

Chris Gardner
Chris Gardner has become famous for his miraculous life journey from a vagrant to a reputed Wall Street stockbroker within dozens of years. Born in a poor fatherless family in 1950s, he tried multiple ways to strive for a living by himself. He ever wandered along streets with his toddler son, and got put into jail, but he never quit his dream of being a stockbroker.
One of his words goes like this: “In the darkest moments of your life, the one who can help you is only yourself.” With an awareness of the significance of tenacity and diligence, Gardner finally got a chance to be trained in a brokerage in spite that he did not have any college diploma or experience. When he passed examinations and earned a license as a stockbroker, he was exhilarated. He just knew that a promising future was awaiting him.
After he embarked on the track of stockbroking, things went much more smoothly. In 1987 he launched his own brokerage firm in Chicago and soon developed into a millionaire. Recently besides managing his firm and playing the role of a good father, he is devoting to philanthropic undertakings in South Africa, hoping to help the poor to live better.
