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 . “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the !” one of the brothers volunteered .
The older boys began to , telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was . After a long silence, one of the picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and many other kinds of insects. He the lid and showed the wonderful to the scoffing（嘲笑的）visitors. Then he said quietly and , “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have found the way!”
Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is a goal is for — to cause us to move in the we have chosen, in other words, to keep us ! But not every goal will be fully . Not every job will end . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be . But when you fall of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging life is lived. And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly .

閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從21~40各題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the in my records. His beaming (歡笑的) face turned to “You’re lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in ……”
He didn’t finish the but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade stand all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being in the future. And every time I tell this , some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (損害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest reflection of his and it would have been to other students. How could I possibly give a a gift of an unearned grade?
I know voluntarily reporting an error in one’s favor is , but, like extra change, it’s the thing to do. People with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as mush as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is reward enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps the student’s grade did discourage him from being honest in the future, but bribing (賄賂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have him even more. The duty to be honest is right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

Standing on the top of a church tower not far from our home in Rome, Father said to me, "Look down, Elsa." I gathered all my and looked down. I saw the crisscross（十字形）of twisting, turning streets to the square in the centre of the village.
“See, my dear,” Father said gently. "There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try ."
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the lunches that were served at school. But she because she could not believe the lunches were so bad.
When I turned to Father for help, he would not . Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a(n) .

Father’s wise words had guided me once again. There is more than one way to the square always.
