Here is how he acplished this. First of all, he started out by treating his dogs with love and respect, and by showing them enough patience as they were learning. Then, the next thing he did was a true action of genius. He would cut a small piece of carpet for each dog he trained. He would place the carpet in the dogs sleeping area, for him to lay on each night. He would also take this carpet during the day and set it down in various locations, and sit the dog on the carpet, as he praised the dog for being good. Whenever he moved to a new place, he would have the dog stand up, and he would pick up the carpet and carry it to the new place, set it down, sit the dog down, and again, praise the dog for being a good boy. Next, Frank would teach the dog to pick up the piece of carpet himself, and carry it to wherever they were going. The dog would then set the piece of carpet down when they stopped, and sit on top of it, with Frank all of the time praising him for being a good dog. Now Frank said, The dog begins to feel that he truly belongs in every place that he travels to, and no matter where he goes, he receives my love and appreciation. And I ask you now, if this strategy works so clearly with dogs, would the same basic strategy not work just as well with human beings? Ask yourself, What is the small piece of carpet you carry around with you wherever you go? ”Would your life not be very different if you changed your piece of carpet to one of self love and appreciation? 21.

His parents were Milton Wright and Susan Catherine Koerner and besides the two famous brothers they had five children. One day after a trip his father brought them a gift, a small helicopter. The kids loved it and played daily with it, soon it broke. The brothers managed to create a new one. Wright even let go his plans of attending Yale. He spent his time helping his ill mother and reading in his fathers library.In 1884 the family decided to move to Dayton and they remained there until the 1870s. A printing press was built by the two and Wilbur was an editor. In 1892 they started being fascinated by the aeronautical(航空的)events of that time. Then they started to create an airplane and Wilbur was considered the head of the team. They were the inventors of “three axis-control”, which permitted the pilot to steer the aircrafts balance.In 1900 they had their first attempts to make a functional glider(滑翔机)-of course it didnt have a pilot. After three years they thought of introducing an engine to the glider. At first, their patent(专利)application was rejected in 1903, but after one year it was accepted.Orvilles first flight lasted 12 seconds and had 36.5 meters. He was responsible with the public shows near Washington in the United States. On September 9, 1908 his flight was 62 minutes and 15 seconds long and the success was huge.28.

The park is set high in the hills of Alton in Staffordshire and it is hidden amongst the trees.The buying up of the theme park has caused more and more money to be put into the park which is only good for thrill seekers! The amount of new rides is increasing but at the expense of the admittance fees. However, the higher fees by no means stops people from visiting with still around 2.5 million visitors each year.The theme park is open this year from the 17th March through until 11th November. This gives riders the nice hot British summer time to enjoy the rides with preferably less rainfall. The gates to the park open at 9:30 am and the rides and other attractions open at 10 am. To make the most of your money and your day I would suggest getting there on time or it will seem wasted. When I went, we got there at around 1 oclock and because of that we didnt get around everything we wanted to.The cost of getting into the park these days is very expensive so trips there I think for most families would be few and far between. There are many different prices as the cost changes depending upon how you pay and when you want to go. There are three sets of prices, normal day ticket, event day ticket and buying online. The prices are as follows:AdultChild Under 12DisabledNormal Day Pass: 32 Normal Day Pass: 22Normal Day Pass: 16 Event Day Pass: 34 Event Day Pass: 23 Event Day Pass: 17 Buying Online: 24 Buying Online: 16 Buying Online: 12 32.
