American people have the habit of saying “Thank you” when something kind is done for them or something polite is said to them, no matter how easy the thing is. This habit is learned by people of many　 46　 countries.

　 You should say “Thank you” when someone　 47　 you the salt on the table, when someone steps aside to let you　 48　 in a corridor (走廊), when someone　 49　 ahead of you keeps the door open　 50　 you, when someone says your work is well　 51　 or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is　 52　 not only between strangers or new friends, but also between old friends, parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. Parents often tell　 53　 children that they should say “Thank you” in answering to a kind word or act when they are only four　 54　 five years old. Perhaps that’s 　 55　 almost everyone has got this habit.

One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work.I got there a little early, so I _______ (41) my car by a small park, and _______ (42) for her.

As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running _______ (43) on the grass as his mother _______ (44) from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been ______ (45) free from some sort of prison .The boy would then fall to the grass , (46) up , without looking back at his mother , run as_______ (47) as he could ,again , 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, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even _______ (48) a second attempt. They would be so _______ (49) that they would not try again if someone saw them fall .Or , because they fall , they would find a good _______ (50) for themselves that they’re not fit for it . They would end up too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.

However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a _______ (51) experience. They try again and again until they _______ (52) .The answer must be that they have not connected“falling down” with the word “failure”. As a _______ (53), they are not discouraged in any way .Besides, they _______ (54) think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words ,they allow themselves to make _______ (55), so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence (堅持不懈) and the manner in which he did.
