One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, runningfreely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on hisface as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass,get up, without looking back at his mother. run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile onhis face, as if nothing had happened. At that moment, I thought lo myself, "Why aren’t most adults this way ?" Most adults. whenthey fall down. make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt. They would beso embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or. because they fall, theywould find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up being tooafraid to attempt again for fear of failure.
However. with kids. when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure.Instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. Theanswer must be that they have not connected "falling down" wirh the word "failure". What’smore, they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrongto do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes. so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence(堅持不懈) and the marmer in which hedid.
46. What did the little boy do when he fell down’?
47. In the writer’ s opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as’?
48. In the writer’ s opinion, why can’t many adults succeed’?
49. What does the underlined word "attempt" in paragraph 2 mean’?
50. What does the writer want to tell us?

(共 5小题,每小题 2分)
One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, runningfreely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on hisface as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass,get up, without looking back at his mother. run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile onhis face, as if nothing had happened. At that moment, I thought lo myself, "Why aren’t most adults this way ?" Most adults. whenthey fall down. make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt. They would beso embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or. because they fall, theywould find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up being tooafraid to attempt again for fear of failure.
However. with kids. when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure.Instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. Theanswer must be that they have not connected "falling down" wirh the word "failure". What’smore, they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrongto do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes. so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence(堅持不懈) and the marmer in which hedid.
