One spring afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I parked the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother _____ from a short distance（距离）. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free out of ______. The boy would then fall to the grass, ______ up quickly, even without looking back at his mother, run as ______ as he could again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when they fall down ,make a big deal out of it and don’t even ______ a second try for fear of failure(失败).
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as failure, instead, they treat it as a ________experience. They try again and again until they ____. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a_____, they are not discouraged in any way, Also they _______ think to themselves that it’s quite OK to fall down and that it’s not wrong to so . In other words, they _______ themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence and the manner in which he did.
