2．Over time，the custom of kissing developed as a way for adults to express their love and affection for one anojye.air.The roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times，when mothers fondled their children，much as mothers do today.
Much later，in the sixth century，society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as expression of their affection.Not surprisingly，France first accepted kissing in courtship（求爱）.There，figure dancing was popular，and each dance was sealed with a kiss.
The custom of kissing swept from France through Europe to Russia，where Russian nobility loved to imitate the French.Eventually，the kiss was contained into marriage ceremonies，and today lip - locks couples into sweet marriage.
The custom of kissing today，as well as in ancient times，serves to pay homage to another.For example，early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to be dignified（valued and respected）.One Roman emperor even ranked a person's importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss.He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips，less important ones to kiss his hands，and the least important ones to kiss his feet.
In Russia，the highest sign of recognition from the Crown meant kiss from the Tsar himself.Today，natives of many African tribes pay homage to their Chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.

A．The way to express love and respect.

3．Have you ever been sad because of failure？Please remember，for quite often achieving what you set out do is not the most important thing.
A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house.As he was working，a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. "What are you doing？ " asked one of the visitors. "I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth! " the boy answered excitedly.The older boys began to laugh，telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.After a while，the boy picked up a jar.He showed it to the visjye.aiors.It was full of all kinds of stones and insects.Then he said calmly and confidently， "Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth，but look at what I've found during this period! "
The boy's goal was far too difficult，but it did cause him to go on.And that is what a goal is for - to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen，in other words，to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end up with a success.Not every dream will come true.
But when you fall short of your aim，maybe you can say， "Yes，but look at what I've found along the way!There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something! "It is in the digging that life is lived.It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.
