1527年，翡翠冷（佛羅倫薩）爆發革命。米開朗琪羅在給家人的信裡傳達了這樣想法：情況一旦不妙，趕緊跑，要在第一波逃跑的人裡跑掉，什麼都別想，跑就是了。
隨後兩年，共和主義揭竿而起，翡翠冷搖搖欲墜，米開朗琪羅作為守城前鋒，在1529年4月份，被任命為衛戍總督。然而在9月份，他逃了。米開朗琪羅在三件衣服裡縫了約兩千金幣，然後逃出了翡翠冷。
可見怕死是人的天性。
但後來，無論因為什麼原因，米開朗琪羅在逃跑兩個月後又回到了翡翠冷。這次他再沒逃跑，盡職盡責，陪這個城市堅守到底。他加固山崗，發明武器，直到九個月後翡翠冷淪陷。
這還不算什麼。新的君主到來，殺了一大批人，這其中包括他的摯友。但米開朗琪羅呢，他顯然不是性情中人。他無視掉這一切的痛苦和不甘，轉而對新的君主獻上諂媚，以求讓他繼續雕塑和建築。
接下來的幾十年，無論外面如何風起雲湧，也無論換了幾任教皇，他的腦子裡就只有一件事：工作，每件作品都親力親為。
之前我們聊過，這位偉大的藝術家一生勞苦，終生受心疾和頭痛病折磨。但他活了多大年紀呢？
八十八歲。
米開朗琪羅所在的年代，對應咱們的明朝，橫跨明朝四個皇帝。不是一般的長壽。
在他死前四個月，行政委員會覺得他年紀太大，不能勝任，想用別人替代他的工作，他立刻去見教皇，證明自己老當益壯。生命力之頑強可見一斑。
很多教育提到：要孩子全面發展。要多全才算全呢？
能專注一件事，難道不入流麼？
所以我們不必一味求全，順其自然，如果真的發現不可阻擋的天賦和興趣，儘可能支援吧~
繼續第112天的英語啟蒙，今天繼續繪本課程（六）。
本連續課程挑選《My first reading library》裡面的繪本進行親子簡讀:原文讀一遍，描述圖片讀一遍，再親子互動一遍，強調重點詞。
今天的繪本是：《Dog Diary》，如下圖所示。
內容大意：一隻可愛的狗狗跟著主人出門玩，然後又回家了的故事。
第一遍：通讀全文，按照原文朗讀，不需要做變化。
第二遍：適當拓展，描述圖片，讓孩子感受重點詞彙。
可以進行如下對話：
《Dog Diary》
封面：This is a dog.It is running on the grass.Someone is chasing the dog.Let's find out who they are.
正文：This is Jock.Jock is a man.He is sleeping.This is Pip.Pip is a dog.Pip wakes Jock up.Then Pip hides in a box with a sock in his mouth.
Time to eat breakfast.Jock eats his food on the table.Pip eats his food on the floor.After breakfast,they go out in a van.
They hop down the van，then they meet a cat.The cat is scrared of Pip the dog.The cat is so scared that it stretches and arches its back,ready to hiss.
But Pip doesn't attack the cat.Instead,Pip walks away with Jock.They want to go to the park.Pip is happy in the park.He runs and runs.
Then Pip spies a gate.It is open.He runs through the gate and up a hill.Jock has to chase Pip lest the dog gets lost.
Pip stops.He finds something on the ground.Pip licks the thing.It feels bad.It is not delicious.Pip wishes that he had not licked it.On the road,there is a bus.Look!The door is open.
Pip gets on the bus.He looks out the window.He sees Jock.Oh,Jock is waving hands.Jock doesn't want to get on the bus.Why?
Because they have a van.There is no need to go by bus.Suddenly it dawns on Pip.Pip recalls their van.Pip wants to get off the bus.But the van starts to move.It moves along the road.Could Pip get off?
Yes,he could.Pip jumps off the bus just in time.But he falls in the puddle and gets wet.Poor Pip.
They go back home in the van.Look at the house.It is cute and beautiful.They go into the house.It is time to go to sleep.
Nightnight.
親子互動：小豬佩奇橫空出世，有褒有貶，有的人說這動畫片教會孩子們學豬叫，有的人說這動畫片教會孩子們跳水坑。其實仔細觀察就能發現，沒人教的寶寶也愛跳水坑的。這是童真，能滿足就滿足，畢竟長大以後會發現，跳水坑再不能讓他露出那種調皮的開懷的笑。家裡如果有條件，就在家裡跳。沒條件就在小區或者院子裡跳，離家近，玩夠了可以迅速回家換衣服。
可以進行如下對話：
Mommy pours some water on the ground.
Now there is a water puddle on the ground.
Does baby want to jump in the puddle?
Go head.
You can play with this water puddle.
Let's have some fun.
Mommy walks through the puddle from one side to the other.
Mommy jumps up and down in the puddle.
Oh,water splashes everywhere.
Does baby want to jump?
Have a try.
Keep your feet off the ground.
Oh,Baby couldn't jump properly.
That's all right.
You will be able to jump in future.
Now please wade into the water.
You can wade through the puddle,from one side to the other.
Well done.
Is it fun?
Yes.
Enjoy yourself.
Ok.Now let's go back home.
Since we get wet,we need to change our clothes.
