Do you know any 9-year-olds who have started their own museums? When Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福) was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.
Born in New York in 1858,Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. UI was a sickly, delicate boy,” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma (哮喘). “He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he Observed (观察)nature and then read and wrote about it.”
Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out This was indeed “a loss to science” Roosevelt said later.
Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12,his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors.
In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President. A year later, former President McKinley, was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th President of the USA. At 42,he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.
