The famous research scientist Stephen Glenn, who had made very important medical achievements. was being interviewed by a new  reporter asked Stephen Glenn so much more creative than other.

   He said that it all came  from an experience with his mother that happened when he was two years old. He tried to carry a bottle of milk form the refrigerator. But tried to carry a bottle of milk sprinkled all over the kitchen floor.
   When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of complaining about it ,she said , “Robert, what a of complaining about it ,she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! Well, the terrible thing has already been done . Would you like to get down and play in the milk form a few minutes before we clean it up?”
   Indeed, he did. After a few minutes , his mother said ,”You know , Robert , whenever you make a mess like this , you have to clean it up . We could use a sponge or a towel. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the milk.
   His mother. then said, “You know , what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands .Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it “  The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the op near the lip(容器的嘴)with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it What a wonderful lesson! At that moment he knew that he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes and mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new.

"Today, Niki will clean the floor,"our mother said. It was time to do our weekly housework. Our mother already had everything planned.

I started to sweep the floor. My brother Ben took the detergent(洗衣粉) to clean the windows and my sister Sarah took out the iron(熨斗). All of us had something to do. However, as I was not good at cleaning, I did not do a good job. In the end, my mother had to clean the floor again. Ben was clumsy(笨拙的 ). He splattered(泼溅 ) the detergent all over the floor and the sofa. My mother was exasperated. She decided to take over. Sarah was the only one who was doing a good job. She ironed one piece of clothing after another. However,she was ironing my mother's dress when her favorite advertisement came on television. Putting down everything, she watched the advertisement for a new toy carefully. She did not notice the smoke coming from the iron until she heard our mother shouting.

Our mother was so angry that she took over the ironing, too.

Finally, we watched TV and ate potato chips. Mom said we were not good at housework. However, we knew that she would ask us to do housework again the next time.

Jay and Joan like to spend {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the winter holiday with their mum and dad. This morning they were all going sledding (滑雪橇).There was a heavy{#blank#}2{#/blank#} snow last night. The hill at the park was great for sledding. Jay and Joan asked their parents to take them out .Their parents agreed(同意).

They all put on{#blank#}3{#/blank#} warm clothes and boots (靴子).They brought hot drinks{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, put the sleds in the car and drove to{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the park.

Jay and his dad went down the hill on one sled. Joan and her mum went down on the other sled. They went fast{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. The snow flew on their faces{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. They laughed and laughed. Sledding was fun.

After playing for two hours，they took a short break. They wanted to have a hot drink to get out of{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the cold，so they went into a warm house. They talked about{#blank#}9{#/blank#} their fun day there.

Soon it was time to go back{#blank#}10{#/blank#} home. Jay and Joan were very happy today.
