                                     If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.

    Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.

    “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.

    “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.

    The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar（罐） full of spiders(蜘蛛), worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”

    Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is for—to make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us to digging!

    But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, rather than in the end, that truly matters.

    61. The writer told us the story to ________ .

    A. advise us to treat our failures fairly

    B. persuade us to make an aim for our lives

    C. encourage us to learn from the two brothers

    D. prove that failure helps us make achievements

    62. What’s the best title of the passage?

    A. Failure is the mother of success  

    B. When there is a will, there is a way

    C. No pains, no gains

    D. Joy in the journey

    63. Which do we know from the passage?

    A. Digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible.

    B. The two brothers will surely reach their goal one day.

    C. If one has a goal, he will want to dig holes.

    D. Everyone can succeed if he sets a practical goal.

    Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know --- the language of the body.
    All over the world, people “talk with their hand, with their heads and with their eyes.” When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British do? Americans are more imformal(不拘小节的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
    When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, “Hello.” Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
    【小题1】In the passsage, the writer thinks that body language is ______________.

    A．uselssB．difficultC．quite easyD．important
