3.each of us fails from time to time. if we are wise, we accept these failures as a 51 part of the learning process. but all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 52 right to our children. when i see a child 53 to this kind of pressure, i think of donnie. donnie was my youngest third grader. his 54 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. he 55 answered questions he might be wrong.i tried my best to build his 56. but nothing changed until midterm, when mary anne, a student teacher, was assigned （安排）to our classroom. she was young and pretty, and she loved children. my pupils, donnie included, 57 her. one morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. donnie had 58 the problems with painstaking neatness. pleased with his

too. but we erase the mistakes and try again. thats what you 66 learn to do, too. she kissed him and stood up. here, she said, ill leave one of these pencils on 67desk so youll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 68 teachers. donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile. the pencil became donnies 69 possession. that, together with mary annes frequent encouragement, gradually 70 him that
