新素养 健全人格 When Robert was about two years old, he was trying to take a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. However, when he got the bottle, he carelessly dropped it on the ground. Suddenly the kitchen floor became sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him directly or punishing（惩罚）him, she said, “Robert, I have hardly seen such a huge puddle（水坑）of milk. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?” He did as his mother suggested.
After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess（一团糟）like this, you have to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge（海绵）, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the milk.
His mother then said, “You know, you failed when you tried to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the backyard, fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy finally learnt that if he carries the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a big success! What a wonderful lesson! Robert learnt that mistakes were just chances for learning something new. Even if the experiment “doesn't work”, we usually learn something valuable from it.
1. What happened when Robert tried to take the milk?
A. He fell down to the ground with the milk.
B. He dropped the bottle of milk on the ground.
C. He could hold the milk bottle easily.
D. He used the milk to wash the floor.
2. What did Robert's mother do when she saw the mess?
A. She shouted at him in a loud voice.
B. She punished him for making the mess.
C. She asked him to clean the milk at once.
D. She advised him to play in the milk.
3. What would Robert probably do with the milk bottle next time?
A. He may still drop it on the ground.
B. He may carry the bottle at the top near the lip.
C. He may carry a big milk bottle with one hand.
D. He may ask her mother for help directly.
4. Which proverb（谚语）can best describe the lesson for Robert?
