at ourselves.And that*s only natural:Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad,and we should try to avoid mistakes.Weve been punished when we make mistakes at home,school and work.Maybe not always,but probably enough times to make feeling bad aboutmistakes an unconscious reaction（无意识的反应）.Yet without mistakes,we could not learn or grow.If you think about it that way,mistakesshould be treasured and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world:Theymake learning possible;they make growth and improvement possible.By test and error-trying things,making mistakes,and learning from those mistakes wehave found out how to make electric lights,to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel,and to fly.Mistakes make walking possible fbr the smallest toddler,make speech possible,and makeworks of genius（天才）possible.Think about how we learn:We dont just get information about something and know it at onceor know how to do it.You dont just read about painting,or writing,or computer programming,orbaking,or playing the piano,and know how to do them right away.Instead,you get informationabout something,from reading or from another person or from watching usually.then you set amodel in your mind.then you test it out by trying it in the real world.then you makemistakes.then you correct the model based on the results of your real world experiment.andrepeat,making mistakes,learning from those mistakes,until youve pretty much learned how to dosomething.That*s how we learn as babies and toddlers,and how we learn as adults.Mistakes are how welearn to do something new-because if you succeed in something,its probably something youalready knew how to do.You havent really grown much from that success at most its the laststep on your journey,not the whole journey.Most of the journey is made up of mistakes,if its agood journey.So if you value learning,if you value growing and improving,then you should value mistakes.They are amazing things that make a world full of wonders possible.1.According to the passage,how should we treat mistakes?A.We should try to avoid making mistakes.B.We should owe great inventions mainly to
