　　I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements, he was thought to be more creative than the average person. When he was asked w   86   he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an e    87   with his mother when he was about two years old. "I was trying to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling the milk all over the floor-----a sea of milk! I was f   88   and I didn't know what to do!" he said.

　　His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. "I was considering how to e   89  all this to her," he said. Instead of punishing(惩罚) him, she said, "Robert, what a great mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge sea of milk before! Well, since the milk has a    90  been spilled, would you like to play in the milk for a while? We can clean it up after that."

　　Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up." He used a sponge (海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

　　His mother then said,"You know, we failed in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let's go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can f    91  a way to carry it." Then the little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it w    92   dropping it.

　　What a wonderful lesson!
