mportant medical achievements. A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others？

He responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said,“Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”

Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that？ We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer？” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, “You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it.”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!

This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes.

a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. "Could you help me in the library？"she asked. I said, "Send him along."

Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. "Do you have a job for me？" he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, "Is it a kind of a detective(侦探) job？" I answered yes, and then began his work.

He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, "Time for rest!" he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.

n a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy did well, so he couldn’t understand why, after 3 months of trains, the master had taught him only one move.“Master,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves？” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll need to know,” the master replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, strong, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be outmatched. Concerned about the boy, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master came forward.

“No,” the master insisted, “Let him continue.”

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a fatal mistake. He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and his master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

“Master, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”

Manners (礼貌) are much more than just saying“Please” and “Thank you”. They are ways of showing kindness.

My husband，Bob，is a pilot，and one day we were invited to a potluck (百味餐) at his flying squadron(飞行中队). The noisy room was filled with mouthy kids and their chatting moms and dads. Our son，Daniel, was only two years old. We let him play with the other kids because it was a safe environment.

After a while，he came back with a package of peanut butter crackers and proudly held them out to us. A pilot who asked “Do you know whose this little boy is？”followed him.

“He is mine,” I answered, wondering what Daniel might have done.

“Well,” replied the pilot, “I've been passing out crackers to the kids for almost two hours，and your son is one of the youngest guys I gave them to. He's the only one who said 'Thank you'. What he did makes me pleased.”

Passage One

You've probably had the experience of having someone fall in love with you when you didn't feel the same way. In such a case it's hard to know what to do. You don't want to be so obvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him.

A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful (得体的) way I've ever seen. Instead of telling her admirer directly, she devoted herself to introducing him to every girl she knew. Whenever she had a date with him, she arranged to drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. At last he clicked (一见如故) with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be.

Of course this solution may not work for you. You may have your own way of dealing with the problem. But whatever you decide to do, keep one thing in mind—the boy in question has feelings every bit as sensitive as your own. So try to find a way of discouraging him without hurting him.
