Soon after that, Woolworth opened his own store, selling five and ten cents．This is the 6 of the famous "five and ten store"．But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful．That is, if you want to make 7 by selling goods at a low price, you have to buy them in large number directly from the factory．For example, Woolworth once went to Germany and placed an order for knives．The order was so large that the factory had to 8 running 24 hours a day for a whole year．In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half．

One night, I wondered what it would be like if I only asked questions. I decided that no matter what anyone said to me the next day, I would reply only with 36 . I loved to read about scientists and their discoveries, and I knew that scientists always started their research with a question. I hoped that I could become a scientist. Maybe by asking questions, I could train my mind to be 37 .
I survived the morning easily. “Is there any egg?” I answered when my mother asked what I wanted for breakfast. “Is this seat taken?” I asked when my friend Mike asked where he was going to 38 on the bus.
In the classroom, Mr. Black spoke slowly and clearly while I listened carefully. The problem had been part of my homework the night before. I wrote the answer on the board, “Could the answer be 361?”
Mr. Black smiled and nodded. I thought,“How did I 39 to get through that?” I almost laughed because asking questions really was starting to become a 40 .
I thought I had made it safely through the whole day, 41 what I had come to consider my experiment blew up at the dinner table when my dad asked me about my day. “What do I always do?” I replied.
My parents looked at each other. My father 42 again. “Well, I hope you went to school,” he said.
“Uhhh … why would you think otherwise?” I asked. My parents exchanged another 43
and were becoming annoyed.
“Do you think questions are a good way to train your mind to be active?” I asked.
“It 44 the question,” said my father. “Some questions are asked for 45 information. Those are good mind-training questions. Sometimes, people use questions to get the other person to say something. Sometimes people ask questions to get someone to agree with them. Those questions don’t really achieve anything.”
“I guess my experiment didn’t work,” I said, and I told my father about my 46 .
“I think it worked 47 !” my father said. “You made a discovery, didn’t you? What matters is that you have put your idea into practice.”
