When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said,“What a wonderfulmess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order. ” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Lets go out in thebackyard 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 with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Unit 2Short Conversations: D B C A DLong conversation: D C B CPassage 1:A B A CPassage 2:1) comic 2) traffic 3) constantly 4) available 5) took part in 6) attracted
