Have you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for often. achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.

A boy decided to dig a hole behind his house. As he was ,a couple of old boys stopped by to give a/an . “What are you doing？” asked one of the .“ I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy excitedly. The older boys began to ,telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was . After a while,the boy picked up a jar(罐子). He it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and ,“Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, look at what I’ve found during this period! ”

The boy’s goal was far too ,but it did cause his to go on. And that is what a goal is --to cause us to move in the we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!

Not goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at I’ve found along the way! So many wonderful things have my life because I tried to do something!” is in the digging that life is lived. It is a joy on the that really makes sense.

Tourism has the power to bring jobs and economic development to popular destination（目的地）, but how should travelers decide where to spend their money? Are some countries more deserving of visitors’ dollars than others?

That’s the idea behind the 10-destination list put together by San Francisco-based non-profit Ethical（有道德的）Traveler, which since 2006,has published an annual guide to the World’s Best Ethical Destinations in the developing world.

“Instead of publishing countries for doing bad things,” said Jeff Greenwald, executive director of Ethical Traveler, “we’re trying to offer a favor, rewarding countries in the developing world that are really trying to do the right thing.”

So which countries are the most ethical? For 2013,the winners are Barbados, Cape Verde, Costa Rica, Ghana, Latvia ,Lithuania, Mauritius, Palau, Samoa and Uruguay.

Those 10 countries scored highest in three main areas: social welfare, environmental protection and human rights.

Greenwald explained that countries must have a good tourism infrastructure（基礎(chǔ)建設(shè)）to make the list, but the non-profit Ethical Traveler also uses the list to promote（提倡）some under-visited places that can be a role model for other countries in their region. For example, Latvia earned high marks for improving its environmental efforts and strong human rights record, and the country’s parks and nature reserves make for a great off-the-beaten-path ecotourism trip.

In addition to just visiting these countries, travelers should aim to spend their money in locally-owned business, Greenwald said, to ensure their financial support stays in the country they’re visiting. However, that requires a well-maneged tourism infrastructure. While one could argue those poor places need the money even more, tourism can put pressure on countries that face such challenges.

Erica Avrami, research and education director at the World Monuments Fund(WMF) said that a list of ethical destinations is “a wonderful idea”, the idea of being ethical goes both ways. “There’s also a certain responsibility on the part of the traveler to make sure their own footprint is as minimal as possible,” she said.

1.The passage mainly aims to _______.

A. promote ethical destinations

B. encourage ecotourism trips

C. speed up the development of tourism

D. discuss which countries are ethical destinations

2.According to the fifth paragraph Latvia can make the list partially for its _______.

A. good tourism infrastructure B. regular ecotourism trip

C. strong human rights record D. good social welfares

3.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Tourism fails to help develop local economy and provide jobs.

B. All the destinations should equally share the money spent by visitors.

C. Ethical Traveler punishes the developing countries for doing wrong things.

D. Ethical Traveler rewards the developing countries for doing the right thing.

4.In the eyes of Erica Avrami _______.

A. being ethical is not actually a wonderful idea

B. being ethical depends on both travelers and destinations

C. travelers are advised to travel as far as possible

D. travelers should leave as much footprint as possible

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(過(guò)錯(cuò)). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責(zé)備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.

1.The main reason for one is poor memory is that _______.

A. his father or mother may have a poor memory

B. He does not use his name or legs for some time

C. his memory is not often used

D. he can’t read or write

2.If you do not use your arms or legs for some time _______.

A. you can’t use them any more

B. they will become stronger

C. they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again.

D. they will become neither stronger nor weaker

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.

B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice.

C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.

D. A good memory comes from more practice.

4.Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _______.

A. they have save much trouble

B. they have saved much time to remember things

C. they have to use their memories all the time

D. they can’t write everything in a little notebook

5.Which is the best title for this passage?

A. Don’t Stop Using Your Arms Or Legs

B. How To Have a Good Memory

C. Strong Arms And Good Memories

D. Learn From the People
