Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣誕老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（獎勵） the lucky child free 40 of a local store.
Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then 41 the phone to me. I didn’t 42 the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a 43 connection to Santa, that was important.
I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had 44 the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had 45 a wall with crayons（蠟筆）. Even I knew that this was not the kind of 46 that Santa would approve.
Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone（語氣）of 47 , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I 48 that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.
I 49 down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime（罪行）had not 50 unpunished. Santa would 51 know that I’d been bad!
It turned out that I did get a 52 present from the radio station and its sponsor（贊助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a piece of coal（煤）.
I wonder what Santa has in 55 for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

When his mother came in, 41 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful 42 you have made! I have 43 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 44 . Would you like to get down and 45 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to 46 everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.
His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a 47 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 48 hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he 49 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50 !
This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be 51 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 52 for learning something new, which is, 53 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't 54 ," we usually learn something 55 from it.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (噴灑) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (傷疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手術(shù)).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
