It seemed _ had happened!For kids, _at an early age, when they fall down, they dont regard their falling down as a _;instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They feel compelled to try and try again until th
4、ey succeed. The answer must be that they have not _ “falling down“ with the word “failure“ yet, thus they don t know how to feel the state which accomparues failure. Therefore, they are not _ in any way. In addition, they probably think to themselves that its perfectly okay to fall down, and that it
5、s not wrong to do so. _ , they give themselves permission to make mistakes. Thus they remain energetic.Touched as I was by the boys _ , I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so _ and natural. No_ of fear and nervousness.His only aim was to run freely and t

He wasnt concerned about being judged. He didnt seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him f
7、all ( as there were others in the park apart from him and his mother) and that it would be _if he did fall. No, all that _ to him was to accomplish the task or activity at hand to the best of his ability. To run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I _ a lot from that observation

21、he treasures of TCM.I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握) my fists with impatience.At one point along an
22、open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the o
23、nly human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested, because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why Id
24、stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because its part of an agreement we all have with each other. Its not only the law, but its an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights.Its amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thi
25、ng, isnt it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes dont come naturally to us.Its a very good thing too, because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust.
26、 This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didnt trust each other most of the time. We do what we say well do; we show up when we say well show up; we deliver when we say well deliver; and we pay when we say well pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we dont do what weve promis
27、ed, its far from the normal. It happens often that we dont act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and were angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.25Why did the author f
28、eel impatient while driving?A. Because he had already driven for a long time.B. Because it was too far away from his destination.C. Because something urgent happened in his family.D.

A11 the things would run normally.B. The social system would be thrown i
