    If you have ever felt sad because of failure, please read on. Very often doing1you want to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.

    Two brothers，Tom and Jim decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, their friends Peter and Bob2to watch. "What are you doing?" asked Peter. Then Tom answered3, "We plan to dig a hole all the way through the4!" After a short silence, Peter and Bob began to5, saying that digging a hole all the way through the earth was6. Then Jim picked up a bottle7spiders and all kinds of insects. He opened and showed the8 things to Peter and Bob. Then he said quietly, "Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth, look at what we've found9!"
   10their goal was too difficult to reach, it did cause them to dig! And that's the true meaning of the goal11 us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, to set us digging! But not every goal12fully. Not every job will end successfully. Not every love will last. Not every13 will be realised. But you can say, "Yes, but look at the wonderful things that I've found on the way!14 come into my life because I've 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 truly15."

    You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes' break. But when the bell for the next class rings, you can't believe how quickly time has passed. If you have this experience, you'll know how time flies when you are having fun anddrags when you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this happens.

    They have found that the brain changes its way to work according to how we direct our attention to a task. When we are bored, we pay more attention to how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.

    Recently some researchers who want to understand the conditions carried out an experiment. In the experiment, twelve volunteers watched a picture while researchers monitored their brain activity.

    The volunteers were told to first notice how long a picture appeared, then the color of the picture, and thirdly, study the both. The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.

    It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspects of a task, it has to spread it resources, and pays less attention to the clock. Therefore, time seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it spends its full energy on the passing of time. As a result, time seems to move slowly.

    Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should concentrate on what the teacher is saying.

    Heart disease is one of the major killers in the world today. Many who suffer from it must have heart transplants. However, it's difficult to get a suitable heart donation, and even if a patient survives the wait, his or her body often rejects the heart.

    But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart disease. According to a study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israel's Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15.

    "This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart," Professor Tal Dvir told CNN.

    Unlike the previous  3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels, chambers and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scientists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb. And, although it can contract like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype is like a tiny airplane that has all of the right parts, but can't fly.

    However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine.

    In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue  into human heart tissue with stem cell technology. The tissue was then turned into "bio-ink" for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection.

    "Patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medications to prevent their rejection," researchers told USA Today. "Instead, the needed heart will be printed, fully personalized for every patient."

    But the scientists think that 3D printing can be used to create other human organs. They foresee a time when the 3D printing of organs will be an everyday medical practice.

    "Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world and these procedures will be conducted routinely" Dvir said.

    If our eyes only saw souls instead of bodies, how differently would we understand the meaning of beauty?

    Our house was across the street from a big hospital, so we rented our empty upstairs rooms to outpatients. One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.

    His face looked terrible - it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he'd been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one because of his face. For a moment I hesitated, but he said he would be happy to just sleep on our porch . I agreed.

    The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children, and her crippled husband. He didn't complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that he didn't feel any pain from his disease, which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.

    The next morning, he said, "Can I come back and stay the next time I need treatment?" I told him he was welcome to come again. On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters. In the years that he stayed with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us gifts like these.

    My neighbor warned me that I could lose potential renters by putting up the old man after he left the first morning.

    Maybe we did lose renters once or twice. But if only they could have known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him. From him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.

    As the saying goes," A hero is known in the time of misfortune". Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this. He is a doctor in Guangdong, who has saved many people's(生命) all his life.

    In 2003, SARS broke out in Guangdong. Later, it(传播，蔓延) across China and other parts of the world. Patientscougheda lot and got fevers. Hundreds of patients(甚至) died from the disease. What's worse, many doctors and nurses got SARS when they treated patients. So everyone was afraid of it. But Zhong was(勇敢的) enough to fight the disease. Zhong spent days and nights to find the cause of the disease. And with his way of treating, many patients began to get better. Zhong(最终，最后) won people's trust.

    In early 2020, a disease called COVID-19 hit Wuhan.(千) of Chinese people were infected. Zhong, 84,(带领) his team to Wuhan to fight the illness. Zhong's team took many measures to cure the patients(和，带有) COVID-19. He advised people to wear masks, wash hands frequently, stay at home and not to go to(拥挤的) places.

    Now at the age of 84, Zhong still treats patients in the(医院) and teaches young doctors. "I am just a doctor." Zhong says. But we think he is a hero and a fighter.
