if so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. here is a story to tell you why.one day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. as he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch.“what are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “i want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly.the older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. then they left.the little boy kept on digging and digging. suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. he collected them and put them into a glass jar (罐) patiently.humming (哼唱) a song, he went on digging. the jar was full soon. then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, “maybe i cant finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what i have found in the process (过程) of digging!”the boys goal (目标) was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working!not every goal will be achieved. not every job will end up with a success.not every dream will come true.but when you cant achieve your goal, maybe you can say, “yes, but look what ive found along the way! there are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because i tried to do something!” it is in the digging that life is lived. it is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.(d) which part of the world has the most nearsighted students? just look around you its east asia. nine in ten school leavers in major east asian cities are nearsighted, according to the bbc. experts say books and video games are not to blame (责备). east asian students, they say, arent getting enough sunlight.people become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. the body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape. and guess what scientists have just discovered? sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported afp.according to the study, primary school students in singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in australia, by contrast (相反), kids spend about three hours a day outside. as a result, fewer children in australia are nearsighted only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in singapore.“children in east asia just go to school, go home and stay inside. they study and they watch television,” ian morgan of the australian national university told afp. but being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added morgan. “as long as they get outside, it doesnt seem to matter how much study they do,” he explained. “there are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. the ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and dont get outside. as a result of massive (巨大的) educational pressures and the construction (构成) of a childs day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.” experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. this can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school. 第卷（主观题共40分）四、词汇运用 （本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）(a) 根据句意,用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1. how amazing! an 80-year-old man _ (成功地) swam across the river yesterday.2. the child _ (说谎) to the teacher about why he was late this morning.3. now many students (几乎不) have enough sleep because of too much homework.4. the teacher often (鼓励) us to learn english well.
