Question

One spring afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I parked the car by the roadside and waited for her.

As I looked outside  the car window,  I saw a little boy, around two years old, running  freely on the grass as his mother _____ from a short distance（距离）. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free out of ______. The boy would then fall to the grass,   ______ up quickly, even without looking back at his mother, run as ______ 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 ______ a second try for fear of failure(失败).

However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as failure, instead, they treat it as a ________experience. They try again and again until they ____. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a_____, they are not discouraged in any way, Also they _______ think to themselves that it’s quite OK to fall down and that it’s not wrong to so . In other words,  they _______ themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence and the manner in which he did.

【解析】

试题分析：我们在不断成长，同时我们也在不断失去。知识在增长，阅历在增加，我们越来越有城府，越来越顾虑重重，越来越迷失自我。因为经验，我们戴上了生活的虚假面具；因为恐惧，我们把真实的自我挡在了幕后；因为失败，我们丧失了追求成功的勇气。成长，让我们背上了精神的枷锁。如何解放出那个潜藏在内心的被绑缚了的我？阅读本文，对孩子，对家长，对教育工作者……都有很重要的意义。
