A number of years ago, a man went to visit a circus(马 戏 团 )in New York. He was able to walk around looking at the lions, monkeys, bears and other circus animals. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away. "Well,” the trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller, we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they can not break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
“How could it be?" said the man. These animals could at any time break free from ropes. But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.
Just like the poor elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we can not do something, just because we failed at it once before?
Failing is part of learning.
1.Where were the animals kept?
A.In the circus. B.In the zoo C.In the fore D.In the park.
2.What does the underlined phrase "break away" mean?
A.击败 B.打破 C.挣脱 D.折断
3.How were the elephants held?
A.By a strong rope. B.In cages C.With chains. D.By a small rope.
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The elephants were held in this way when they were young.
B.There were many kinds of animals in the circus.
C.The animals were trained to perform.
D.The elephants often escaped.
5.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Well begun is half done. B.The early bird catches the worm.
C.We should never give up. D.One tree can't make a forest.

A couple of years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane after the meeting ended. The drive was going to take four days and most of it was across the desert, 81
The first day was a lot of fun as we were excited and laughing at each other's stupid jokes. By the third day of driving in the seemingly endless desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when in the distance Chris found some kangaroos. We were both excited and decided to get a closer look. 82We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometers per hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG!
Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a larger kangaroo lying completely still on the ground. 83He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then, he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. 84While I was focusing the camera, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up, looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.
I started laughing but Chris looked very serious. 85I started laughing even harder. I stopped laughing, however, when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket!
| A. Chris speeded up to catch up with the kangaroos. B. He said his wallet and passport were in the jacket. C. In order to get there in three days, we drove very fast. D. so we had to take food, water, and extra gas with us. E. Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its head. F. I was still surprised, but I took out my camera. |
