Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary 　31 of the learning process. But too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We convey(傳達(dá)) 32 　by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but 　33　 performance pleases us.

34 I see a child under this kind of pressure ,I think of Jack. He is a shy, nervous perfectionist. He 　35 answered questions—he might be 　36 .

I try my best to 　37 his self-confidence. And I repeatedly 　38 　God for direction. But 　39 changed until midterm, when Mary, a student teacher, came to our classroom.

One day we were working with math problems. Jack had copied the problems with care. 40 with his progress, I left the children with Mary .When I returned, Jack was in tears. He’d missed the third problem.

At that time, Mary got a box 　41 with pencils from the desk we shared. “Look, Jack ! I’ve got something to show you.” she said.“ See these pencils, they belong to Mrs. Green and me. See how the erasers are 　42　 ? That’s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try 　43 . That’s what you must learn to do, too.” Jack looked up with 　44 in his eyes---the first time I’d see on his face that year.

Jack gradually believe him that it’s all 　45 to make mistakes – as long as you erase them and try again.

Stuart and Steve were twin brothers. Stuart loved to play basketball. But Steve loved to read books.

One day Stuart fell and broke his leg          he was playing basketball. When they took him to the hospital, the doctor said he wouldn’t be able to play for six months. Steve went          him and brought him books on basketball. At first Stuart wasn’t going to read them. Then he began to read them and        that there were ways he could play basketball better. He began to think that books weren’t so        .

When Stuart’s leg started getting better, Steve would help him by going for walks with him.          Stuart’s doctor said he could start playing basketball again. Then Stuart showed Steve how to toss (投) for baskets. Steve found that he enjoyed it.

Soon Stuart was ready to          basketball games. Steve went to games and enjoyed himself. From then on they         practiced basketball and read books together.

So please          showing others something that you like to do and they may show you something that they like to do.        you can find new things to do.
