Stephen Glenn said that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about four years old．He tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and it fell，spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor ﹣a real sea of milk!
Instead of shouting at him，giving him a lecture or punishing him，his mother said，"Steve，what a great and wonderful mess you have made! Well，the damage has already been done．Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？"
Indeed，he did．After a few minutes，his mother said，"You know，Steve，whenever you make a mess like this，eventually you have to clean it up and restore all the things to its proper order．So，we should clean it up．" He used the sponge（海绵）and together they cleaned up the spilled milk．His mother then said，"You have a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands．Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover 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 without dropping it．What a wonderful lesson!
This famous scientists said that it was at that moment that he knew_____．Instead，he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new，which is，after all，what scientific experiments are all about．Even if the experiment doesn't work．we usually learn something valuable from it．
（1）Stephen Glenn is more creative than an ordinary person，isn't he？（2）How old was Stephen when the experience with his mother happened？（3）What did his mother ask him to do when Stephen spilled the milk all over the floor？
（4）How can a little boy carry a big bottle without dropping it？
（5）What can be filled in the blank to complete the sentence in the last paragraph？
