Joy in the Journey

If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. For often, 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    41   . “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the    42   !” One of the brothers volunteered    43   

    The older boys began to    44   , telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was    45   . After a long silence, one of the    46    picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and many other kinds of insects. He    47    the lid and showed the wonderful    48    to the scoffing（嘲笑的）visitors. Then he said quietly and    49   , “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have found    50    the way!”

    Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is    51    a goal is for — to cause us to move in the    52    we have chosen, in other words, to keep us      53   ! But not every goal will be fully    54   . Not every job will end    55   . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be    56   . But when you fall    57    of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things    58    my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging    59    life is lived. And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly    60   .

As the saying goes, chance favored the prepared mind. I learned this from one of my experience.

I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another tryout arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team.

From this, I am firmly convincing that we are able to seize a chance as long as I get well prepared.

   Americans are obsessed (着迷的) with telling their life stories. This phenomenon isn’t simply the product of the technological world.    36  . People are eager to tell stories and are fascinated by those of others. Even at preschool, “sharing time” is a common Monday-morning activity where the teenagers will sit in a circle and take turns telling a story about something they did over the weekend.

      37  . In many Asian countries, talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate. People are often unwilling to share their life stories and do not encourage others to do so. But there are also times when Asians do share their stories.  38   . Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships, leaving little reason to broadcast detailed and revealing personal stories to establish a unique self.

    Ironically, the more unique Americans strive to be, the greater their need to feel connected with others. In their culture of individuality, relationships are highly mobile and can be easily formed or dissolved(破裂).

    Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts, feelings and desires.   39   . But this motivation is not nearly as strong among Asians, for whom social relations are generally unconditional, obligatory(义不容辞的) and stable, and therefore require little maintenance(维护).

       40   . American parents encourage children to share their stories and create opportunities to re-experience the past with children. Asian parents, by contrast, engage their children in telling personal stories less frequently. When they do talk about a child’s experiences, they are not particularly concerned with parent-child bonding but tend to focus on disciplining the child.

A. It helps them shape their “selves” and makes them who they are.

B. They tend to focus more on outer facts than personal details.

C. Talking about personal stories is to cheer people on with positive feelings.

D. It connects them like many different points, holding their society together.

E. Sharing personal stories is also an essential part in everyday conversations.

F. Parents in America and Asia differ in how they share memories with children.

G. Interestingly, this obsession is not necessarily shared in other cultures.

What defines a healthy city Is it a place with a lot of open spaces 61 people can exercise and enjoy the fresh air A place with little or no pollution A place in which people can 62 (free) socialize and express their ideas Perhaps, it’s all that plus more. Other considerations are the availability of health and fitness facilities, an excellent healthcare program and sincere efforts by 63 local government to actively promote health and wellness among its citizens. Of all the cities in the world, one of the top six 64  (healthy) cities is Copenhagen, Denmark.

Copenhageners love to walk. Foot traffic accounts 65 80% of all traffic in the Copenhagen city center. Those who prefer can also bike.

It has the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art and the Royal Library housed in a rather grand building 70 (call) the Black Diamond.
