We drove west until the hous stopped. Then we stopped. We walked through a large field. Hundreds of yellow flowers 5 over the soft earth. I looked for a place to hide.
“What’s the matter with you, Athena?” Grandmother asked. “Nothing,” I said. “But why do we eat dandelions? No one el does.” “The best 6 in the world,” Grandmother answered.
It emed to take hours to fill the bags. By the time we were ready to leave, we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mama and Grandmother talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbors.
The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mama rved octopus with onions,
peppers stuffed with lamb and rice, and horta made of dandelions. Our guests ate everything. Brigid tasted the octopus and the lamb. Then she put her fork on the horta. “Wait!” I said. Too late. “You ate the dandelions!” I told her 7 . “Not bad,” she said and ate another bite. We both laughed.
After dinner, Brigid and I went to the backyard. The stars reminded me of dandelions in the soft field. I clod my eyes and made a 8 : to be as open-minded as my family and my new friends.

A Bottle of Milk
I recently heard a story about a very famous rearch scientist who was interviewed by a newspaper reporter. He was asked why he was able to be so much more 1 than the other persons. He said that it all came from an 2 with his mother when he was young.
He tried to remove a bottle of milk from the fridge when he lost his hold on the bottle, spilling the milk all over the kitchen floor! Instead of 3 at him, his mother said, “Rober
t, what a great and beautiful mess you have made! I have never en such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to 4 with the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, Robert played it. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up. So we would u a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He 5 the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a difficult experiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Now, let’s 6 a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it 7 . The scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make 8 and he’d like to try a lot of things in different ways.

If I could go back in timedota什么意思
couchpotatoOne of the most popular topics in the history of science fiction has been the idea of time travel.
When I was a child, I often dreamed about a time machine that would allow me to “save” certain moments of my life, so that in ca I failed to do something, I could always “load” my life from a checkpoint. As I grew 1 , my life experiences gradually became more diver(多样的). In many situations, I had no idea how to act properly, what decisions to make, what path to follow; 2 , I made mistakes. While many of my actions back then turned out for the good in the future, some mistakes provided many painful moments for me and people around me. Mistakes are certain to happen, but they allow us to learn, 3 ourlves, and drive us to change for the better—and still sometimes I would like to jump into a time machine, go back a couple of years ago, and make 4 .
