Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did fools' (傻瓜的) experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic (基础的) that other people just thought they were foolish?
Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or a problem.Sometimes, they really do know an answer, but without thinking it is important.
Charles Darwin didn't just think he knew something.And, he believed all things could be important no matter how simple they seemed to be.
Suppose you drop pieces of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape.If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way.Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other pieces.What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn't be worth anything.
But this simple experiment is important.It explains part of our present day understandings of physics (物理学) ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton.And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek (古希腊的) physics.
The scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them.Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations (基础) of science.

The key to success
Once, when I was a young boy, I boasted (吹嘘)that I determined (下决心) to win first place at the coming____competition, yet I knew this goal was nearly impossible. Every year, the best players from all over the state took part in this competition. It was a huge deal, especially for a beginner like me.
But my mom was my number one ____. Every day after school, she would sit down right next to me while Miss Green was giving me piano lessons or I was ___my piano piece. When I couldn’t and wouldn’t play any longer, she would always say, “If you determine to win, then act like it. Don’t give up.’’ After every practice,my whole body was in pain for numb (麻木的) fingers and stiff (僵硬的)back. However, I didn’t want to ____ my mom, so I kept on practicing until I finally fell asleep on the piano keys.
Finally, the big day arrived. Right before my turn to perform, my mom said, “ I know you want to win, so listen to me: Be there for the ___not for the success, okay?” I managed to nod.

The experience made me realize that determination is not just saying that you will win; when you have solved difficulties and kept ____,you can truly say you’re determined.
