Entrants(參加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣誕老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

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 began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鯨魚)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(無知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(權(quán)威).
