One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early, so I ___1___ my car by a small park, and ___2___ for her.
As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running ___3___ on the grass as his mother ___4___ from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been ___5___ free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, ___6___ up, without looking back at his mother, run as ___7___ as he could , again , still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened .
At that moment, I thought to myself, “why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even ___8___ a second try. They would be so ___9___ that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good ___10___ for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up too afraid to try again for fear of failure.
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a ___11___ experience. They try again and again until they ___12___. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a ___13___, they are not discouraged in any way. Besides, they ___14___ think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make ___15___, so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.
