8. Read the passage below and then answer the questions which follow, using your own words wherever possible.

To be called upon to do the impossible is a very high compliment, for is it not a tribute to great feats already done, apparent impossibilities faced and overcome in the past? That compensating thought, however, is not always available as reward and stimulus to those who feel that they are confronted with something beyond the limits of the possible. We all know what it is to have that feeling. Even before we begin to feel it for ourselves our parents have felt it for us. The foundest father, looking upon his new - born babe; must, at first blush, feel that it is beyond the bounds of possibility that this unseasonably vocal and not very beautiful stranger will in a few years be a bright and beloved child whose companionship and interest will mean all the world to him. And so it goes on. The small schoolboy sees a great gulf fixed between his unheeded self and the demigods of the first eleven. Later he gazes blankly at a mountain - wall of examinations and feels that he can never climb it. When he gets out into the world it seems impossible that one so ill - equipped and inexperienced can ever be one of those who direct the affairs of men. But the dawn of "golden vista'd children" brightens into brilliant day, and the small boy becomes the many coloured hero, savior of many matches, to fresh generations of small boys. The despair of teachers and examiners blossoms out into the leader of a business, at the Bar, of an army, of a nation. Looking back to his blind beginnings and forward to untold ages, what limits shall man himself lay down to what he may become?

Some element of the impossible, or at least some convincing appearance of it, is an essential of all advance. For progress, something is needed that still does not yet, that may possibly never be, but that still does not cease to call for an attempt at its fulfillment. A man or a world that had no wants, or could get all that was wanted for the asking would be a man and a world doomed to satiety, stagnation and decay. What is impossible her and now is the goal, the lodestar, the beckoning ideal of the future. It makes irresistible appeal to the bold, the sanguine and the forward - ranging spirit, however much it may daunt faint hearts and feeble knees. Without it, seas would never have been crossed, poles discovered, heaven - high peaks ascended; instead of having the upper air on the wings of the wind, man would still be creeping among the brutes that perish. All very well, you may say, for youth with its tireless zest and its unbounded ambitions and aspirations. It is different for the older man, who has learned by hard experience what his limitations are. He, if not "too old at forty", knows quite well at fifty, and even better at sixty, that he has reached the circumference of his possibilities and that his field of activity must henceforth be a steadily shrinking circle. That is true enough of material, physical, and even mental possibilities. But it is not true of the spirit. In that realm age has no power to stale and wither. There is still room for the high adventure of attempting the impossible. The ideal can still call still find a response in upward effort. For the greyest of spirits, to the very end.
