One day, I saw a boy shop alone at the shop I worked. He chose some school things he wanted and went to the checkout (付款台).

The young shop assistant (店员) told him he needed to pay $37.60. The boy became very sad and said he only had $20. He took out one thing at a time, and at last he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could call his mom to pick him up. When he got through, it seemed that his mom was too busy to pick him up in a minute.

He tried to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the chair in front of the shop. This was too much for the young assistant. She kept looking outside to see if the boy was all right. Then she said, “I wish I could pay for the rest (剩余部分) of his things.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help, too.

These four young girls pooled their money and found they had more than enough to pay for the boy's things. Then they chose more school things, and gave them all to the boy. The boy laughed happily. His mom arrived much later, but he didn't just run to the car; he ran back into the shop and called out, “Thank you!”

I was so proud (骄傲的) of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the pleasure (快乐) of giving.

八年级英语完形填空困难题查看答案及解析

One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy about two years old. He was running freely on the grass as his mother watched near him. The boy had a big smile on his face. The boy then fell to the grass, got up without looking back at his mother and ran as fast as possible. It seemed that nothing had happened to him.

At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults (成年人) this way?” When most adults fall, they would be so embarrassed (尴尬的) that they would not make a second attempt if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good reason for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would give up trying again for fear of failure.

However, when kids fall, they don’t regard (认为) their falling down as a failure. Instead, they regard it as a learning experience. They try again and again until　 they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected (联系) “falling down” with the word “failure”. What’s more, they may think to themselves that it’s quite normal to fall down and that it’s right to do so. In other words, they are not frightened of making mistakes, so they stay active.

I was deeply moved by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈).

1.What did the little boy do when he fell down?

A.He cried and lay on the grass B.He asked his mother for help

C.He got up and went on running D.He got up and stood there crying

2.In the writer’s opinion (观点), what might the little boy treat his falling as?

A.A failure. B.A joke.

C.An interesting game. D.A learning experience.

3.According to the writer, why can’t many adults succeed?

A.Because they are afraid of being embarrassed

B.Because they can’t find a good reason for themselves

C.Because once they fail, they won’t try again

D.Because they are not afraid to make mistakes

4.The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 2 means________.

A.尝试 B.放弃 C.面对 D.怀疑

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

A.Practice makes perfect. B.Failure is the mother of success.

C.One tree can’t make a forest. D.Each coin has two sides.
