I recently heard a story about a famous scientist.Because of his great achievements,he was thought to be more creative than the ordinary person.When he (42)___(ask) why he was able to do this,he gave the answer.It all came from an experience with his mother when he was about two years old."I tried to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and 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 (43)___ (consider)how to explain all this to you,mom."He said.Instead of (44)___ (punish) him,she said,"Robert,what a great mess(杂乱) you have made!I (45)___ (not see) such a huge sea of milk before!Well,since the milk has already been spilled,would you like to play in the milk for a while?We (46)___ (clean) it up after that."Indeed,he did so.After a few minutes,his mother said,"You know,Robert,whenever you make a mess like this,finally you have to clean it up."He used a sponge(海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said,"You know,you (47)___(fail)in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now.Let's go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can find a way to carry it."Then the little boy learned that if he grasped (抓紧) the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands,he could carry it without dropping it.What a wonderful lesson!
