     As I looked out of the car window to my right, there was a small park where I saw a little boy  17  one and a half to two years old,   18  freely on the grass as his mother watched him from a short distance．The boy had a big smile on his face  19  he had just been set free from prison．The boy would then fall to the grass，get up，and without  20  ．run as fast as he could，

     22  ，with kids(especially at all early age)，when they fall down，they don't perceive(認(rèn)識(shí)到)their falling down as a(n)   23  ，but instead, they treat it as a learning   24   ，as just another outcome(后果)．They will try and try again until they   25  ．The answer must be that they have not   26  “falling down”with the word“failure”yet．Thus they don’t  know how to feel the state which accompanies failure．What's more，they probably think that it is perfectly okay to fall down，and that ifs not   27  to do so．In other words，they give themselves   28  to make mistakes subconsciously(潛意識(shí)地)．Thus they remain   29  ．

    While I was touched by the boy’s  persistence(堅(jiān)持不懈)，I was   30   touched by the manner in which he ran．With each  31  ，he looked so confident and so natural．No  32  of fear, of nervousness，or of being discouraged…as if he didn’t    33  the world around him．His only  34  was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could．I learned a lot from that observation and experience，and had successfully brought that   35   with me in my many pursuits(追求)in life．
