A young boy was playing happily in front of his house when an old wise man turned up. The old man took him to a large rock and asked the boy to push against it with all his strength.（力量）

Then the boy did this after the school day. But every night when the boy returned home, he was feeling down—because he couldn’t move it a little though he was already sore and worn out.

A neighbor saw this and said to him, “You have been pushing against the rock for a long time,but it hasn’t moved. So, the task is impossible and you are a failure.” These words cut like a knife into the boy’s heart.

Then the neighbor added, “why do you keep doing this? Just have a try and that is enough.”

The boy didn’t say anything, but went to find the old man.

“Sir,” the boy said, “I have tried hard, putting all my strength to do what you have asked. However, after all this time, I haven’t even moved the rock a bit. What’s wrong with me? Why am I failing?” “ my boy, I told you to push against the rock with all your strength. Never did I ask you to move it. Remember: your task was to push. Look at yourself—your arms are strong; your back is shiny and brown; your hands are callused（使生茧）from constant pressure. Your abilities now surpass what you used to have. It is true that you haven’t moved the rock. But your task was to push and to exercise your faith. You have done a good job.”

1.What did the old man ask the boy to do?

A.To do more exercise to build strength.

B.To move the rock away.

C.To find out how strong he was.

D.To try his best to push the rock.

2.According to the neighbor’s words, we can know that______.
