Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a  21  part of the learning process. But all too often  22  parents and teachers we disallow this same right to our children.
When I see a child  23   from this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His  24   of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He  25  answered questions--- he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his  26   . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all  27  her very much.
One morning, we were working on maths problems at the chalk-board. Donnie had  28   the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I  29  the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in  30  . He’d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face  31   . From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.
“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently  32   the tear-stained(弄脏的) face from his arms. “ I’ve got something to  33  you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
“See these   34   , Donnie,” she continued. “ They belong to Mrs. Lindstorm and me. See how the erasers are   35   . That’s because we make mistakes too. But, we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you  36  learn to do, too.
She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on  37   desk so you’ll remember that everyone makes mistakes,  38  teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
The   39   became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually  40  him that it’s all right to make mistakes--- as long as you erase them and try again.

Bruno was a boy of eight. His father worked in a cinema and his mother worked in a shop. He lived not far from his school. He always walked there and walked home. On his way to school, he had to pass a playground. It was very wet after it rained. One day, when he got home, his clothes were all wet. His mother became angry(生气的)and said, “Don’t play in the water on your way home from school!”
On the next day Bruno came home with wet and dirty(脏的)clothes. His mother became even angrier. “I’ll tell your father if you come back wet again,” said his mother. “He’ll punish(惩罚)You, you know.”
The third day the little boy was dry when he came home.
“You’re a good boy today”, his mother said happily. “You didn’t play in the water.”
“No,” the boy said unhappily. “There were too many older boys in the water when I got there this afternoon. There wasn’t any room(空地方)for me at all!”
