Using eight eights and addition only, can you make 1000?

There was once a college that offered a class on probability applied to the real world. The class was relatively easy, but there was a catch. There were no homework assignments or tests, but there was a final exam that would have only one question on it. When everyone received the test paper it was a blank sheet of paper with a solitary question on it: 'What is the risk?'.Most students were able to pass, but only one student received 100% for the class! Even stranger was that he only wrote down one word!
What did he write?
In an office's desk, you find a unique method that shows the current day of the month. Two numbered cubes are used to depict the current date.

Can you help him divide the land in a manner that both of his sons will be happy?
