晨读吧 基础盘点ABC 要点精析ABC Digging in Life 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. Module 6 Animals in Danger 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 volunteered 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 full of spiders, worms and a wide assortment1 of insects.He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing2 visitors. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we dont dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way！” Their goal was far too ambitious3, but it did cause them to dig.And that is what a goal is for－to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen; in other words, to set us to dig! But not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end successfully.Not every relationship will endure4.Not every hope will come to pass.Not every love will last.Not every endeavor5 will be completed.Not every dream will be realized. 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！” It is in the digging that life is lived.And I believe it is joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters. 【助读词汇】 1．assortment n．各式各样 2．scoff n．嘲笑 3．ambitious adj.雄心勃勃的 4．endure v．持久 5．endeavor n．努力 【完成句子】 1．set out开始 He ______________the whole house but finished only the front part. 他开始着手粉刷整幢房子，可是只完成了前面的部分。 2．fall short of达不到，不符合 Your work __________________________． 你的工作未达到我的期望。 set out to paint falls short of my expectatio
