Stephen Glenn is a famous American research scientist who has made several very important medical breakthroughs.Many people were dying to know the secrets to his fantastic achievements.To unveil the mystery,a newspaper reporter interviewed him asking why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person.What set him so far apart from others?
Having assumed to hear wordings like innate curiosity for science or hard work,the reporter was surprised to have him respond that,in his opinion,it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about four years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell,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 chastising him,she said,"Steve,what a great and wonderful mess you have made!I have rarely seen such a huge pond 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,he did.After a few minutes,his mother said,"You know,Steve,whenever you make a mess like this,eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.So,how would you like to do that?We could use a sponge,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 discover 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 carry it without dropping it.What a wonderful lesson!
This renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes.Instead,he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new,which is,after all,what scientific experiments are all about.Even if the experiment'doesn't work,'we usually learn something valuable from it.
Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Steve's mother responded to him?

  • 1.When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
       Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically(魔術(shù)般) appear.
       All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
       There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
       Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch(門廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

    B.He was a respectable person.

    D.He was fully trusted by the family.

    A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
    B.It has been driven out of the market.
    C.Its service is getting poor.
