Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child. And though he has 38 plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know 39 he has the time to play. When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.
Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was 40 a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons. I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning English. Both his parents dream that he will have 41 jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses.
The boy seems to take no interest 42 learning English. He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate. He is, 43 , only 5. When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as 44 as he is.
In the evening, when his parents 45 him to speak with me in English, he gets 46 . He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally stops 47 , and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese, 48 . He speaks in his own language.
He 49 not be a very good student, but I’m not a great teacher. I just want to be his big brother 50 can speak in gibberish(胡言乱语) with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s (宇航员) son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect(完美的)．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．
Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering（发现）a new star．I was daydreaming （做白日梦）at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”
When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．No，I wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged （拥抱）me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world-famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and l went to school on Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed（失望）at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat（喉咙）and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this is the proudest（自豪的）moment of my life．’’
It was the proudest moment of my life，too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

In one way, it may be thought that failure is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.
The “spider story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web（网）. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the goal you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question: If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself!” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t live with them all.”
