One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work．I got there a little early so I 1 the car by the roadside, across the street from where she worked, and 2 for her．
As I 3 outside the car window, to my fight there was a small park where I saw a little boy around two years old．He was running freely on the 4 as his mother watched him from a short distance．The boy had a big 5 on his face as if he had just been set 6 from some sort of prison．The boy would then fail to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as 7 as he could again, still with a smile on his face, as if 8 had happened．
When kids, especially at an early age, fall down, they don’t see their falling down as a 9 , but instead, they treat it as a 10 experience．They have the desire to try and try again 11 they succeed～The answer must be that they have not 12 "falling down” with the word "failure" yet．Thus they don't know 13 to feel the state which accompanies failure．What’s more, they probably think that it’s perfectly Okay to fall down, and that it's not 14 to do So．In other words, they give themselves 15 to make mistakes subconsciously(潜意识地)．Thus they 16 encouraged．
While I was touched by the boy’s persistence, I was 17 touched by the manner in which he ran．With each 18 , he looked so confident, so natural．No 19 of fear, of nervousness, or of being discouraged－as if he didn’t have a 20 about the world around him．I learned a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life．

完形填空
Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong? Or, wanted to show 1 at a party but the song you'd practised so many times suddenly 2 more difficult?
I've had both these 3 ．As a Senior 3 student, I have to 4 many exams．Each time, I enter one, thinking “I 5 fail this time．”
But don't be surprised-it's not 6 we don't try, or don't do enough preparation, 7 don't take it seriously．On the contrary, it is because we put ourselves under too much 8 ．It is thinking：“I must…” that makes us taste the terrible flavor of 9 ．
We often 10 to our friends：“Don't be too hard 11 yourself!” But when we 12 our own goals, we may not listen to our own advice．
In doing so, we are making our path to success increasingly difficult．
So why not 13 this crazy pursuit(追求)to get the best? Just face the problem 14 before you with a calm mind, enjoy the hard work and you will succeed．
In my opinion, 15 a calm state of mind is a skill for life．For people who want to succeed, 16 this is a very important lesson．
So 17 time when you're trying to draw a straight line or 18 a performance, tell yourself：“If I can just do it better than last time, it's a 19 ．”
Keep a calm state of mind, and you will be happy 20 you succeed or fail．
