While the leading acto

41、r on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the f

42、ull expression of societys understandingthe knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. Th

43、e great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.All men are created equal. Weve heard it many t

44、imes, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this countrys founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all childrenthe rig

45、ht of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of their capacity, whether that capacity is small or great.

46、education. In response, schools are modifying their programmes, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programmes.96.

52、 these clichs are scientific questions, as researchers scrutinize (仔细检查) the power of positive thinking. Research is proving that optimism can help you to be happier, healthier and more successful. Pessimism leads, by contrast, to hopelessness, sickness and failure, and is linked to depression, lone

53、liness and painful shyness. If we could teach people to think more positively, it would be like inoculating (注射预防针) them against these mental ills.Your habits count, but the belief that you can succeed affects whether or not you will. In part, thats because optimists and pessimists deal with the sam

54、e challenges and disappointments in very different ways. When things go wrong the pessimist tends to blame himself. Im not good at this. I always fail. He would say. But the optimist looks for loopholes. Negative or positive, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If people feel hopeless they dont bother to acquire the skills they need to succeed.A sense of control is the litmus test (试金石) for success. The optimis
