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 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 can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process (过程) of digging!‖The boy’s 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 can’t achieve your goal, maybe you can say, ―Yes, but look what I’ve 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.

Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots（机器人）. Each cockroach has a very small packet that has in it a microprocessor (微处理器). Then researchers can send signals (信号) from the remote control to the packet. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? ―Insects can do many things that people can’t,‖ saysIsao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble (瓦砾) to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.First, the research keeps hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae (触须). They put small packets where the antennae were. The packets weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. ―Cockroaches are very strong,‖ says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. ―They can lift 20 times their own weight.‖With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packets. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cock roaches don’t always move in the right direction.( )37. The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because ______________________.A. they want cockroaches to do things people can’t in the futureB. they want to control the movements of the cockroachesC. they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakesD. they want to send signals to the packets on the cockroaches( )38.

What can cockroaches do to help people?A. They can lift 20 times their own weight.B. They can help people to carry very small cameras.C. They can keep hundreds of cockroaches.D. They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.( )40. What problem do the cockroaches meet with?A. The cockroaches sometimes don’t move.B. The cockroaches are too big to move through earthquake rubble.C. The cockroaches sometimes move in the wrong direction.D. The cockroaches can only lift 20 times their own weight.DThey are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who traveled to places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read travel books. It seems that there are three kinds of travel books, the first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的)idea of travels which the writer has got himself, these books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective (主观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called ― a guide‖ to some place or other, If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting, But their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication(出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21stcentury. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for your travel.( )41.
