**学生时代狂放不羁曾被老师狠揍 英国首相**,曾被誉为英伦政坛的“神童”,他领导英国工党以压倒性优势赢得大选,结束了保守党执政十多年的历史,并成为20世纪工党**最年轻的首相,目前已经实现三连任。尽管**目前陷入了进退维谷的境地,但他的雄辩、富有活力、对公众的感染力,确实令多数英国人不得不佩服。而这些特质,与他少时的生活经历不无关系。 父亲中风成了他的人生转折 1953年5月6日,**出生在苏格兰首府爱丁堡一个中产阶级家庭。他的童年很快乐,最爱读的书,包括魔幻小说《纳尼亚传奇》、《指环王》以及经典冒险小说《**》。回忆起童年,他说:“我们有一个相当不错的中产阶级标准的生活。” **早年上私立学校,小学时因成绩优异而跳级。但在**11岁时,家中发生了一场大变故。父亲里奥·**竞选国会议员,可能是因为劳累过度,突然中风,年仅40岁。后虽然抢救过来,却失去了工作能力,有3年不能讲话。母亲从此不得不全力照顾父亲,哥哥在外读书,**和妹妹不得不自己照顾自己,并与母亲一起面对生活困境。 在**心目中,父亲“绝对是一个明星”。父亲的病令他伤心不已。他曾回忆道:“父亲一病,我突然意识到,没有什么东西是永恒的。” 这场变故让**深深感受到了生活的艰辛,并使他渐渐学会了分担家庭的困难和忧愁。这对他以后的成长颇有影响。用**的话说:“这件事使我懂得了家庭的价值,因为我母亲经过3年的努力帮助父亲恢复了说话和行走的能力。” 父亲对仕途夭折心有不甘,便鼓励孩子们参政。**也许就是这时下决心从政的。他在接受《**》记者的采访时曾说:“父亲把他的雄心壮志传给了我。对我来说,这无疑增加了某种约束,我深深地感到,绝不能让父亲失望。” 狂放不羁挨老师打 1966年,**考上了苏格兰最好的公立中学——爱丁堡费蒂斯学院。该学院历史悠久,古板严肃,素有“苏格兰的伊顿”之称。在这里,**成了全校的知名人物,不仅因为他成绩优秀、热衷表演和辩论,更因为他的特立独行。 **对严格的校规颇有怨言,甚至故意留长发向校方发泄不满。他经常与老师辩论,说某条校规应该改变,等等。在最后一个学年,**更是狂放不羁,使班主任罗伯特忍不住揍了他一顿。这是费蒂斯学院仅有的老师打学生的例子。时间一长,**被戴上了“六个最极端的家伙”之一的帽子,校刊还把他描绘成“一个有超凡魅力的反叛者和反文化浪潮的领导人物”。费蒂斯学院的老师回忆说,**是他遇到的最难对付的学生。 **的中学同学尼克·里登回忆说:“他很擅长辩论……那时,学校有许多荒谬的规定,比如你必须清洗别人的饭碗、肮脏的橄榄球衣,等等。由于**带领学生提要求,学校的陈规改变了许多,董事会也开明、自由了许多。” 1971年,**考入牛津大学圣约翰学院攻读法律。像很多英国学生一样,他四处打工,做过建筑工人、保险公司职员。由于受当时嬉皮士的影响,**的思想一度激进,主张反对权势集团,平时不修边幅,长发飘飘,并参加了学生摇滚乐队。 1975年,22岁的**大学毕业。但不久,他的母亲就病逝了。沉重的打击使他一连几个月都泡在酒吧里。最终,在回忆童年时光的时候,父亲的雄心壮志让他“苏醒”过来。他回到伦敦,投身工党,揭开了他**生涯的序幕。 **生(1847~1931)ed**on,thomas alva 美国发明家。以创办工厂实验室、开辟使技术开发与科学研究紧密结合的途径而名垂史册 。1847 年2月11日生于俄亥俄州的迈兰的一个荷兰**家庭。1931年10月18日于新泽西州西奥兰治逝世 。幼时只受过3个月正规教育 。12岁起做过报童、小贩、报务员等以自谋生计。因受m.法拉第的影响,一生从事电学实验研究和发明。1868年他发明了一台选票记录仪想推销给国会,但没有被采用。**生的第一项发明没有找到市场使他更注意发明的实用性。1869年,**生由波士顿移居纽约。他改进了金指示器电报公司的电报机,得到公司经理的赏识 ,受聘月薪300美元( 这在当时是很高的月薪 )。1870 年 ,移居新泽西州 ,开始他的高效发明时期 。1874年改进了打字机 。1876年 ,给a.g.贝尔发明的电话加装了炭粒话筒,提高了受话的声响。 1876年,创办了他著名的实验室。在这个实验室里,他 打破了以往科学家个人独自从事研究的传统,组织一批专门人才(包括n.特斯拉等人),由他出题目并分派任务,共同致力于一项发明 , 从而开创了 现代科学研究 的正确途径 。1877年,发明了留声机,这使他名扬四海。1878年,开始白炽灯的研究,在十几个月中经过多次失败后,于1879年10月21日成功地点亮了白炽炭丝灯,稳定地点亮了两整天。1882年,在纽约珍珠街创办世界第二座公用火电厂,建立起纽约市区电灯照明系统,成为现代电力系统的雏形。电照明的实现,不仅大大改善了人们生产劳动的条件,也预示着日常生活电气化时代即将到来。1883年,**生在试验真空灯泡时,意外地发现冷、热电极间有电流通过。这种现象后来称为**生效应,成为电子管和电子工业的基础。1887年,移居西奥兰治,并于同年在该市创建规模更大、装备也更新的实验室,即著名的**生实验室(后人称之为发明工厂)。在这里,根据g.伊斯曼的发明,制作了自己的照相机。1914年 ,用留声机和照相机制成了最早的有声电影系统。晚年,他的发明和革新包括蓄电池、水泥搅拌机、录音电话、双工式和多工式电报系统、铁路用制动器等。第一次世界大战期间,他任海军技术顾问委员会**,指导**和反潜设备研究,发明了几十种武器。为此,美国**于1920年授予他卓越服 务奖章 , 法国**授 予他军团荣誉勋位 。1928年,美国国会授予他荣誉奖章。终其一生,**生和他的实验室共获1093项发明专利权。**生一生发明众多,但他毕竟缺乏系统的科学知识 ,因而对现代技术的发展不能作出正确判断。19世纪末,交流输电系统已经出现,但他仍坚持直流输电,并在与g.威斯汀豪斯发生的激烈竞争中丧失了承建尼亚加拉水电站的合同 ;他的实验室盲目试制磁力选矿设备,耗尽了发明电灯所得的资金,最后不得不放弃。但是,**生在电力开发、电器制造推广电能应用等方面所作的贡献,使他成为人类历史上最伟大的发明家之一。 ed**on (1847~1931) ed**on,thomas alva american inventor. to the creation of factory laboratories, technology
