Children find meanings in their old family tales.  
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker,    21   all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times   22   his strong-minded grandfather was nearly   23    , he loaded his family into the car and   24    them to see family members in Canada with a   25   ,“there are more important things in life than money. ”
The  26   took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to a   27    house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was  28    that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t.    29     , their reaction echoed (共鸣) their great-grandfather’s. What they   30    was how warm the people were in the house and how  31     of their heart was accessible.  
Many parents are finding family stories have surprising power to help children   32    hard times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon reflects a growing   33     in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in a storytelling events and festivals.
A university   34    of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to   35  parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.  The   36    is telling the stories in a way children can   37    . We’re not talking here about the kind of story that   38    , “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow. ” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s   39    , and make eye contact (接触) to create “a personal experience”,. We don’t have to tell children   40  they should take from the story and what the moral is. ”

The first outstanding deaf teacher in America was a Frenchman Laurent Clerc. He and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet founded America’s first school for the deaf.
When Laurent Clerc was one year old, he fell into a fire. As a result, he lost both his hearing and his sense of smell. At the age of 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.
Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister when he met a young deaf girl, Alice Cogswell. He was upset to learn that there were no schools for the deaf in America. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. However, he was unable to get help. He met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to Paris to learn at the Royal Institution for the Deaf.
Gallaudet went to the Royal Institution for the Deaf, where Clerc became his Sign Language teacher. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return to America, he asked Clerc to come with him.
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. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they founded a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut.
