21、   Do you know yu（竽）, a kind of instrument (乐器) ? It appeared many years ago.During the Warring States Period (战国时期), the king of the State of Qi (齐国)enjoyed listening to yu ensemble (合奏).

Nobody realized he was making no sound at all.When the king died, his son became the new king who also liked the sound of yu.

22、One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed.

While I was touched(感动的) by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being a child – just being himself – being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life.

He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.

【1】From Paragraph 1, we know that the boy’s mother ______.

A. was strict with him B. had a special way to educate her son

C. didn’t love her son as much as others D. was too weak to help her son get up

A. might stop running when he fell down

B. Falling down is the mother of success.

C. When others are watching, people fall down easily.

D. One will succeed if he / she is confident and never gives up.
