If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. For often, achieving what you 1 to do is not the important thing. Let me 2 .
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped to 3 .
“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 volunteered 4 .
The older boys began to 5 them, telling the younger ones that was 6 .
After a long silence, one of the diggers 7 a basin full of spiders, worms and many other kinds of insects. He 8 the lid and showed the wonderful 9 to the visitors.
Then he said quietly and confidently,“ 10 we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look what we found 11 the way!”
Their goal was far too 12 ,but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a 13 is for—to cause us to move in the 14 we have chosen ; in other words, to set us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully 15 . Not every job will end 16 . Not every relationship will continue to exist. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every attempt will be completed. Not every 17 will be realized.
But 18 you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the 19 things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!”
It is in the digging that life is lived. And I believed it is the 10 in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.

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.uselss | B.difficult | C.quite easy | D.important |
A.different countries hav the same body language. |
