I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36    he thought he was able to be so much more    37    than the average person.

He    38    that it all came from a(n)   39    with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40    the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41    shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42    you have made! I have    43    seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44   . Would you like to get down and    45    in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46    everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47    experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48    hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49    the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50   !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51   to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52    for learning something new, which is,    53   , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54   ," we usually learn something    55    from it.

When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主)in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator’s(解說者的) part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.

It was a lovely spring day .We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I am going to dig up all these weeds,” she said. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”

“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful―even dandelions!”

My mother looked at me seriously. “ Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is true of people, too,” she added.

When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.

 “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.

Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.

56.The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because                .

      A.she felt nervous on the stage

       B.she lost her interest in that role

       C.she preferred the role of the narrator

       D.she had difficulty memorizing her words

57.Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden?

       A.To remove the dandelions

       B.To enjoy the garden scene.

       C.To have a talk with her daughter.

       D.To help her daughter with the play.

58.What is the main idea of the story?

       A.Everybody can find his or her own way to success.

       B.Everybody has his or her own value in the world.

       C.Everybody should learn to play different roles.

       D.Everybody has some unforgettable memory.

Bobby was sitting out in his back yard in the snow. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.

    Ever since his father had passed away three years ago, his mother worked nights at the hospital, but the small wage could only be stretched so far.

    What the family lacked in money and material things, they more than made up for in love and family unity. They ran the household in their mother’s absence. All three of his sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother.

    It was Christmas Eve already, and he had nothing. Bobby started to walk down to the street. He walked from shop to shop. Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach. It was starting to get dark, then suddenly his eyes caught a shiny dime. Never has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby did at that moment.

    He went inside a flower shop. When the owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower. The shop owner looked at Bobby, then said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”

    The shop owner returned holding red roses all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man,” said the shop owner, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.

    Then the shopkeeper’s wife appeared. “Where are the roses you were fixing?”

    The shop owner replied, “A strange thing happened to me this morning. I thought I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. I wasn’t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew who that voice was.”

3.What could he buy with a dime then?

    A. A flower.            B. Nothing.     C. A piece of cake.       D. Many flowers.
