B It was a cold winter morning on February 22, 1732. In a Virginia village, a baby boy was born. The baby's name was George Washington. As little George grew up, he loved the farm and all of the animals. He loved his horse best of all. George went to a small country school. He worked very hard. He was one of the smartest(聪明的) students. George was also the most honest(诚实的) boy in school. George liked to read and to write. He liked numbers. But he liked to make maps and measure(测量) land best of all. This is called surveying(勘测,测绘). George practiced by measuring the vegetable gardens on his farm. Many farmers wanted George to survey their land. It would help them to know how much seed(种子) to buy when to plant their crops. George was only a boy of sixteen. But the farmers trusted him. They knew George was very smart and honest. "He will do a good job," one farmer said to another. George's big brother, Lawrence, took him on a surveying trip in the Virginia wilderness(野外).

C What was school like in the late 1800s? Would you like to know? To start with, imagine everyone in school sharing only one teacher and one classroom. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most American students went to a one-room school. One teacher taught all the students in the school, from the first to eighth grades. A large class may have more than forty students, while a small class may have only five or six students. The youngest children sat in the front, while the oldest students sat in the back. The teacher usually taught reading, writing, math, history, and geography. Students tried to remember all the things they learned. The classroom of a one-room school looked much like your own. The teacher's desk was at the front of the room, however, and there would have been a wood-burning stove(炉子). During the winter months the teacher would get to the school early to start a fire, so the room would be warm for the students. In Honeoye Falls, New York, there is a one-room schoolhouse and children today can experience the life as a student in the late 19th century. For a week during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn in the way children learned more than a hundred years ago. 29. How many teachers were there in a one-room school?
