When a man was walking by some elephants, he suddenly stopped. He wondered why these huge animals were being held only by a small rope tied to their front, legs. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could break the rope at any time, but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why the animals just stood there and didn't try to get away. \"Well,\" the trainer said, \"when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same rope to keep them from running away. At that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break the rope. They believe it can still hold them, so they never try to break free. \"

The man was surprised. These animals could break free whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

How many of us go through life like the elephants-- holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is a part of learning. If we failed once, it doesn't mean we can never succeed. If we try again and again, maybe we will succeed one day. So don't be afraid of failure and keep on trying.

（1）The elephants never tried to break the rope after they grew up because they .

A . liked being tied

B . were too weak to break it

D . left

（3）What does the writer want to tell us?

A . Elephants should be set free.

B . Failure can help us succeed.

C . People should look after the elephants well.

D . Never let failure stop you from trying again.

On the first day of the New Year 2019，I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as

a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the world. I didn't know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!

My journey began with attending TESOL certification(认证) course in my home state of Florida last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours' study online, I received my TESOL certificate.

I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement，I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn't wait to explore the country!

After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand's cities! After that, I attended the weeklong seminar(研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I was transported to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.

I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It's a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else's life, right in front of you!

Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I've ever met—I've never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received，where everyone you pass is so friendly to say \"Hello\" and \"Good morning\". I've been taken out to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay them in the future.
