语法填空There was a famous scientist who made several important discoveries. One day he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (ask) how he was able to be so creative. He{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(reply) that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 2 years old. He was trying to make a bottle of milk out of the fridge. But {#blank#}3{#/blank#} bottle was too slippery (滑的) and he dropped it. The kitchen floor was covered with milk.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (shout) at him or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in the milk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a few minutes before we clean it up?"
{#blank#}6{#/blank#} he did. A few minutes later, they cleaned it up together. Then his mother said, "This was a failed experiment on how to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the backyard and practise with the bottle full of water to make sure the floor wouldn't {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (cover) with milk next time. "
The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(边沿) with both hands, he could carry it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success). What a wonderful lesson!
The scientist then added that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mistake). He learned that they are just opportunities (机 会) to learn something in a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) and faster way, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn't work, we can still learn something valuable from it.
