1. Franklin Reading Story
Franklin loved reading since he was a child. His family was too poor to afford schooling, so he had to make a living on his own since he was a boy. I often go hungry and save money to buy books and read. One day, Franklin saw a white-haired old driver on the road who was too hungry to walk.
Lian Xin gave her his only piece of bread. The old woman saw that Franklin was also a poor man and could not bear to accept his bread. "You can eat, I have plenty in my bag." Franklin said, patting the backpack full of books.
The old woman was eating bread, and Franklin took out a book from his backpack and read it with relish. "Child, why don't you eat bread?" the old woman asked. Franklin smiled and replied: "The taste of reading is much better than bread!"
With financial constraints and limited ability to buy books, Franklin had to borrow books often to read. Franklin often knocked on the door to borrow books from friends during the day. He would even light a lamp and concentrate on reading. When he was tired, he would pour cold water on his head to refresh himself, sit down and continue reading.
2. Archimedes Reading Story
Archimedes was born in a noble family in Syracuse, and his father was an astronomer. Under the influence of his father, Archimedes loved learning, was good at thinking, and liked debating since childhood. At the age of 11, Archimedes left his parents.
I came to Alexandria, one of the largest cities in ancient Greece, to study. At that time, Alexandria was a world-famous center for trade and cultural exchange. The unusually rich collection of books in the library deeply attracted the hungry Archimedes.
Books at that time were bound to sheets of sheepskin, or sedge stems were cut into thin slices and flattened to make paper. After being bound, they were glued into a large sheet and rolled on a log stick. . There was no printing technology at that time, and books were copied word by word, which was very precious.
Without pen and paper, Archimedes memorized the theorems and formulas he learned in books bit by bit in his mind. Archimedes studied mathematics, which required him to draw graphics, derive formulas, and perform calculations. There was no paper, so he used twigs as pens and the earth as paper.
Because the ground is too hard, the writing on it is always difficult to see clearly. Archimedes thought hard for a few days and invented another kind of "paper". He scooped out the ashes, spread them evenly on the ground, and then calculated on them. But sometimes God is not kind to us.
When the wind blows, this "paper" flies away. One day, Archimedes went for a walk on the seaside, thinking about mathematical problems while walking. The boundless beach, with fine and soft sand spread flatly under your feet and stretching into the distance.
He squatted down out of habit, picked up a shell, and started doing calculations on the beach. Returning to his residence, Archimedes excitedly told his friends: "The beach, I found that the beach is the best place to study. It is so vast and so quiet.
Your thoughts He can fly far away, just like a seagull flying on the sea. "The magical beach and the vast ocean gave him wisdom and strength. From then on, Archimedes liked to wander on the beach, thinking and learning.
In 212 BC, the Roman army captured the ancient city of Syracuse, the hometown of Archimedes. At that time, the 75-year-old Archimedes was concentrating on mathematics on the beach and was not aware of the enemy's invasion at all.
When the Roman soldier drew his sword to kill him, Archimedes said quietly: "Leave some time for me to finish this unanswered question. So as not to leave an unproven problem to the world in the future."
Because of Archimedes' tireless work and hard work, he finally became a great mathematician, physicist, astronomer and inventor in ancient Greece. He was honored as the "God of Mathematics" by later generations of mathematicians.
Archimedes once said: "Give me a small piece of fulcrum to hold the lever, and I can move the earth." Children, that's right, confidence coupled with scientific actions will lead you to success. ensure!
3. Marx’s reading story
Marx read a lot of books throughout his life, and his knowledge was profound and profound.
Although he has an amazing memory and can remember the books he has read extremely deeply and accurately, he always takes notes when he reads. To write Capital, Marx studied more than 1,500 books.
I wrote more than 100 notebooks alone. Many of Marx's notes were made by himself. The usual method is to fold a stack of white paper in half and sew a line in the middle. Write on the original cover the time and place the note was taken.
Enter the serial number of the notes, and some also add titles. Remember to keep your notes densely packed, and use pencils or pens to make thick and thin solid lines, dotted lines, "X", " " and other marks in the blank space next to them.
For the convenience of reference, Marx also compiled a table of contents and summary of contents for many notes, and then placed them in specific places so that they could be easily pulled out when needed without searching. At the same time, Marx also took notes directly in the book.
4. Gorky's reading story
Gorky, a great writer of the former Soviet Union, Lenin called him "the most outstanding representative of proletarian art." He was born in a carpenter's family during the Tsarist Russia. He lost his father when he was 4 years old and was fostered in his maternal grandmother's home. Because his family was extremely poor, he only attended primary school for two years.
When he was 10 years old, he entered the cold "human world". He worked as an apprentice, porter, and baker. He also wandered to southern Russia twice and suffered a miserable life. But he likes reading very much, and he will take advantage of every opportunity under any circumstances.
Ploping on the book and reading eagerly. As he said himself: "I threw myself on books like a hungry man on bread." He suffered all the humiliation in order to study. When I was 10 years old, I worked as an apprentice in a shoe store. I had no money to buy books, so I borrowed books from everywhere to read.
The preschoolers at that time were actually slaves: they went to the streets to buy things, lit the stove, wiped the floor, washed vegetables and took care of the children... they worked from morning to midnight every day. After a tiring day, use a homemade lamp to keep reading.
The boss’s wife forbade Gorky to study. She also searched for books in the attic and tore them into pieces when she found them. Because of his studies, he was severely beaten by the landlady. In order to read, Gorky could endure anything, even willing to endure torture.
He said: "If someone proposes to me: 'Go to the square and beat you with a stick!' I think I can accept this condition."
5. Galileo’s reading story
Galileo was a great Italian physicist and astronomer. His contribution to mechanics was the establishment of the law of falling bodies, the discovery of the law of inertia of objects, pendulum vibration, etc. Timeliness and the law of parabolic motion determine Galileo's principle.
When he was studying at the University of Pisa, he was very curious and often asked questions, such as "Why don't planets move in a straight line?" Some teachers thought he had too many questions. But he never cared, and asked when it was time to ask.
Once, Galileo learned that the mathematician Leach was visiting Pisa, so he prepared many questions to ask Leach for advice. This time it was great. The teacher was tireless in teaching, and the students asked endless questions.
Galileo quickly learned knowledge about plane geometry, solid geometry, etc., and deeply mastered Archimedes' theories on levers, body specific gravity, etc.
