27、One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison（监狱）.The boy would then fall to the grass, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, 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, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt（尝试）. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or because they fail.

However, with kids, when they fall down, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected “again down” with the word “failure”. What’s more, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.

28、

Darius and Johntel have a lot in common. They both like basketball and are both captains of their school teams. Last month, they played a basketball game. Just hours b【1】 the match, Johntel’s mother lost her battle with cancer(癌症)suddenly. Johntel’s coach wanted to call off the game. But Johntel suggested the game should be played, so with h【2】 hearts his teammates prepared to play.

What they weren’t prepared for was Johntel’s appearance in the gym. The moment they saw him, the players and f【3】 came to offer him love and support. Johntel wanted to play. Of course his teammates were happy to have him. But Johntel wasn’t on the pre-game list.

The other team told the referees(裁判) to let Johntel play and forget the rule. But the referees said that a rule is a rule. Then Darius volunteered to take the free throws.

All the people were moved by his behavior.“I did it for the guy who lost his mon” Darius said after the game. “It was the right thing to do.”

Johntel’s team got a 15-point v【7】 at last. But the players of the two teams won the same cheering. “This is an unforgettable experience for these kids.” Darius’s coach said.
