    Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a   36  part of

the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this  37  right to our

children.

    When I see a child  38  to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.

    Donnie was my youngest third grader. His   39  of failure kept him from classroom games

that other children enjoyed. He   40  answered questions—he might be wrong.

I tried my best to build his    41    .But nothing changed until midterm , when Mary Anne , a student teacher , was assigned(安排) to our classroom .

She was young and pretty , and she loved children . My pupils , Donnie included , all   42     her.

One morning , we were working on math problems at the chalkboard . Donnie had    43    the problems with pains-taking tidiness . Pleased with his progress , I     44   the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials . When I returned , Donnie was in    45    . He’d missed the third problem .

My student teacher looked at me in despair . Suddenly her face   46     . From the desk we shared , she got a container filled with pencils .

“Look , Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently   47     the tear-stained face from his arms . “I’ve got something to    48    you.” She removed the pencils , one at a time , and placed them on his desk .

“See these   49     , Donnie,” she continued . “They belong to Mrs . Lindstrom and me . See how the erasers are    50    ? That’s because we make mistakes too . But we erase the mistakes and try again . That’s what you    51    learn to do , too.”

She kissed him and stood up . “Here”, she said , I’ll leave one of these pencils on  52      desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes,   53    teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile .

The pencil became Donnie’s   54  possession . That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually    55    him that it’s all right to make mistakes—as long as you erase them and try again .

Do you ever run out of great books to read? So what should I read next? Is fast-paced crime fiction your thing?
Try the new Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta(Putnam). She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic(法庭的) intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you're entering—this isn't for the faint of heart, let's say.
If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher's wonderful new book, Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World (Riverhead). Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you've never experienced life as a bestselling writer (as she has done, in her book years back, Reviving Ophelia), you'll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.
What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer's new novel, Oh, Johnny(Random House), about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there's an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader's Digest (March, on stands now), by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.
Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere, Wishful Drinking(Simon & Schuster). Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.
