Eric was standing in front of a large, gray house in the countryside. He had just been dropped off by his mum, who left after telling him that he was going to ?? the next twelve days there with no TV, no mobile phone and worst of all—no ???? .

Just then, a man appeared* at the gate of the house. When he saw Eric, he went up to him immediately*. "I'm ????? you are Eric. Welcome to Camp Reboot," said the man proudly. "I'm Tony, the camp leader*, but you will ????? me 'Sir'. Now you tell me ????? you're here."

Eric quickly replied, "My mum made me ?????? here!" When Tony looked angrily ????? him and did not say ???? , Eric realized his mistake and added, "Sir!"

?? "And do you know why your mother sent ??? here? Asked Tony.

?? "She thinks I spend too much time online—that I can't live without the Internet... Sir," answered Eric. "It's not just her opinion. It's the ????? ! Look at you—tired, unhealthy and certainly not getting ????? sleep. You're here because you think your world on the Internet is much ????? than the real world. But you're wrong! The real world has much more to offer. At Camp Reboot, you're going to go hiking, boating, rock-climbing and stay outdoors most of the? ????? ," said Tony.

?? Eric's heart broke.

?? "But it's not going be all fun and games." Tony continued. " We have rules here. ????? you break them, you'll never be sent home ????? ! Instead, you'll have to sweep the floor, wash the dishes or do an extra hour of exercise!"

? "Oh, my God!" cried Eric. "What have you got me into, Mum?"

He ______ would do great thins should not attempt them all alone.

One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work.I got there a little early, so I _______ (41) my car by a small park, and _______ (42) for her.

As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running _______ (43) on the grass as his mother _______ (44) from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been ______ (45) free from some sort of prison .The boy would then fall to the grass , (46) up , without looking back at his mother , run as_______ (47) as he could ,again , still with a smile on his face ,as if nothing had happened .

At that moment, I thought to myself , “why aren’t most adults this way ?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even _______ (48) a second attempt. They would be so _______ (49) that they would not try again if someone saw them fall .Or , because they fall , they would find a good _______ (50) for themselves that they’re not fit for it . They would end up too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.

However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a _______ (51) experience. They try again and again until they _______ (52) .The answer must be that they have not connected“falling down” with the word “failure”. As a _______ (53), they are not discouraged in any way .Besides, they _______ (54) think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words ,they allow themselves to make _______ (55), so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.
