Being a mother is simply the greatest success of my life. It has taken me on a trip that can always surprise and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（education） me! I feel that my children has {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（bring） much joy, as well as worry and care.

    They are wonders to me every day. Each minute of every day is filled with different {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（activity）, feelings and a lot of comedy. From playing sports {#blank#}4{#/blank#}resting on the sofa, each of my children {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（fill） every second with laughter, music and discussion. They are kind-hearted and well-mannered. They have quick minds and they always ask or {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（answer） special questions. I feel happy that I can live with these lovely children.

    Living in such a big and happy family, it is important that our children understand humility（谦卑）. They should know {#blank#}7{#/blank#}hard their parents have worked to support the family. They should also have a responsibility to work hard, be kind to others, and never take {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（something） for granted.

    My mother and father always asked me and my brother and sister to have dreams, and I hope that I can do {#blank#}9{#/blank#}same for my children. I hope that I, together with their father, encourage them to dream big and try {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（they） best to do what they should do.

    I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements, he was thought to be more creative than a common person. When he was asked why he was able{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) this, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with his mother when he was about three years old. "I tried{#blank#}2{#/blank#}get a bottle of milk from the fridge but 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{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(consider) how to explain this to you, Mum, "he said. Instead of{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(punish) him, she said, "Robert, what a great mess you have made! I haven't seen{#blank#}5{#/blank#}a sea of milk before! Well, since the milk has already been spilled, would you like{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(play) in the milk for a while? We will clean it{#blank#}7{#/blank#}after that. "Then, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) a mess like this, finally you have to do it by yourself. "He used a sponge（海绵）and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

    His mother then said, " You know, we failed to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Let's go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can discover a way to carry it. "Then the little boy learned that if he grasped(抓紧）the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(drop) it.

    What a wonderful lesson!
