I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements(成就), he was thought to be more creative(有创造性的)than the average (一般的) person. When He (1) ____________ (ask) why he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with his mother when he was about two years old. “I (2) ____________ (try) to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling(溢出)the milk all over the floor — a sea of milk! I was frightened and I didn’t know what to do!”he said.

His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. “I (3) ______________ (consider)how to explain all this to you, mom.” He said. Instead of (4) ____________ (punish) him, she said, “Robert, what a great mess(杂乱) you have made! I (5) ____________ (not see) such a huge sea of milk before! Well, since the milk has already been spilled, would you like      (6) ____________ (play) in the milk for a while? We (7) ____________ (clean) it up after that.” Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you (8) ____________ (make) a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up.” He used a sponge(海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, “You know, we (9) ____________(fail)in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you (10) ____________ (discover) a way to carry it.” Then the little boy learned that if he grasped (抓紧) the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.

What a wonderful lesson!


London’s Chinese community (社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However, London’s Chinese community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.

After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled (定居) in a different area—a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.

At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.

As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.
