I was teaching a chemistry lesson， and the students were 17 about working with alcohol lamps（酒精灯）. But a girl couldnt get her wick（灯芯） to burn. She was one of the kids who always seem to be the 18 one picked for the team， who appeared to have 19 that she could never be special.

Normally I do not help the students with science projects， because failures are necessary for learning. Yet this was a different matter： Her wick was not as 20 as others. I needed to 21 in.

The girl had tears in her eyes， and I felt ashamed of myself for ever having felt like giving up. For that one moment， the only thing that 22 to me was that this girl should have a successful experiment. She was going to go home that day with a 23 on her face.

A few minutes later， all was well and I watched the kids 29 the experiment. I felt like an idiot， and yet for the first time in weeks， I felt how much I 30 about teaching.

Failures （失败） are necessary parts in our life. But all too often， many kids feel ashamed （羞愧的） of them. Donnie was my youngest third-grader who wanted to make everything perfect. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games. He seldom answered questions—he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he always checked with me to be sure he hadnt made a mistake. I tried my best to build his self-confidence（自信）. But nothing changed until midterm， when Mary Anne， my student teacher， came to our class. She was young and pretty， and she loved children. My pupils all adored her. But the more Donnie loved Mary， the more he was afraid he might make a mistake. Then one morning， we were working on math problems. Donnie had copied the problems and filled in answers in the first row. Pleased with his progress， I left the children with Mary Anne. When I returned， Donnie was in tears. Hed missed the third problem. Mary went to the desk， and got a box filled with pencils.

“Look， Donnie，” she said， “Ive got something to show you.” She took out the pencils， one at a time， and placed them on his desk.

“See these pencils， Donnie？ They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn？ Thats because we make mistakes， too. But we erase（擦除） the mistakes and try again. Thats what you must learn to do， too.”

She kissed him and stood up. “Here，” she said， “Ill leave one of these pencils on your desk so you will remember that everybody makes mistakes， even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile—the first smile Id seen on his face that year. The pencil together with Mary Annes encouragement （鼓勵） gradually made him know that its all right to make mistakes—as long as you erase them and try again.
