　　I heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important achievements．

　　What made him 　　1　　 from others?

　　He said it all came from 　　2　　 that happened when he was two years old．He tried to 　　3　　 a bottle of milk away from the fridge, but the slippery(光滑的)bottle fell, spilling its milk all over the 　　4　　 floor．

　　When his mother came in, 　　5　　 shouting at him, she said, “Robert, what a great mess(一團糟)you have made! I have never seen such a big puddle(水坑)of milk．Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes 　　6　　 we clean it up?”

　　Indeed, he did．After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, when you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last．So, 　　7　　 would you like to do that? We would use a towel or a mop．Which do you prefer?” He chose the towel and together they cleaned up the milk．

　　His mother then said, “We had a failed 　　8　　 in how to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands in the kitchen．Let’s go out and fill the bottle with water and see if you can 　　9　　 a way to carry it without dropping it．” The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(杯口)with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it．

　　Mrs Cooper fixed them with a firm(嚴格的)look．Then she said：“We're all here to 　　3　　．”

　　Another time, Mrs Cooper asked us to write a 　　4　　 about what we hoped to do with our lives．I wrote：“I want to be a 　　5　　 like Mrs Cooper．”

　　She wrote on my report, “You would make an outstanding(杰出的)teacher 　　6　　 you are determined(堅定的)and you try hard．” I was to carry those 　　7　　 in my heart for the next 27 years．

　　After I graduated from high school, I got married and had children．

　　We needed every penny just to get by．College-and teaching-was out of the question．

　　Then one day I thought of my 　　8　　 of how I wanted to help children．I talked it over with my family and 　　9　　 to attend college classes in the mornings before work．And when I got home from work, I would 　　10　　．Finally after seven years, my dream had been realized and I became a teacher．

　　Not long after I started 　　11　　, something happened that brought the 　　12　　 rushing back to me．I had written a sentence with grammatical(語法的)mistakes on the blackboard．Then I asked students to come and 　　13　　 the mistakes．
