　　Sam is not yet 2．He watches almost no TV and is taken on daily walks through the zoo, so it was not surprising when he pointed to an elephant and said,“Ella．”What was unexpected was when he pointed to his diaper(尿布)and said, “Elmo．”

　　In Sam's world, Elmo doesn't live on Sesame Street．He is the cheerful face of Pampers, printed on the waistband, requested at every change．The little image has made Pampers Sam's diaper of choice and Pampers supplier Procter ＆ Gamble very happy．If Sam's interest holds, his parents will buy more than 2,000 worth of Pampers before their son is potty(便壶)trained．And, the chances are, others who love Sam will encourage that change with the Sesame Street Potty Elmo and over time so large an amount of Elmo equipment that Sam's family may feel they live on the street．

　　Sam is but one of the army of tiny consumers．In the United States, children recognize product patterns by 18 months, according to Boston College professor Juliet Schor, and, by 2, many ask for products by brand name．Some parents report that baby's first word was not “mama”or“dada”but“Coke”－which makes sense considering that 26 percent of kids 2 and under have a TV in their room and the average American child sees some 40,000 advertisements a year．That in turn helps explain why the United States, with 4．5 percent of the world's population, buys 45 percent of the global toy production．American kids get an average of 70 new toys a year, calculates Schor, who surveyed 300 children for her new book, Born to Buy．

“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very　 1　 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have　 2　 it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the　 3　 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of　 4 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid　 5　 trouble.
I admit that we should keep　 6　 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your　 7　 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do　8　 to make things better.
I used to be a(n) 9　 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 10 when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know 　 11　 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher　 12　 me to go to the blackboard and　 13　 what I knew. If I had　 14　 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s 15　, I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I　 16　 you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as　 17　 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know　 18　 I do can make things better. Everyone is the　 19　 of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active　20　 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.
