One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was that they could, at any time, break free, strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the for this. He said, “When they were very young we used the size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can hold them, so they never try.” Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you once before?

Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago. 小题1: A．excited B．confused C．discouraged D．worried 小题2: A．impossible B．doubtful C．uncertain D．obvious 小题3: A．but B．or C．and D．so 小题4: A．case B．result C．reason D．choice 小题5: A．same B．bigger C．smaller D．different 小题6: A．narrowly B．almost C．still D．hardly 小题7: A．did B．failed C．tried D．succeeded 小题8: A．yourself B．others C．your teacher D．your partner 小题9: A．causes B．stories C．results D．examples 小题10: A．conscious B．honest C．responsible D．depended 小题11: A．stopped B．referred C．changed D．originated 小题12: A．interested B．disappointed C．bored D．inspired 小题13: A．belief B．experience C．embarrassment D．remark 小题14: A．represent B．compare C．mix D．replace 小题15: A．action B．thought C．aim D．plan 小题16: A．come true B．run out C．on guard D．keep cool 小题17: A．at B．by C．for D．in 小题18: A．improved B．judged C．realized D．recognized 小题19: A．finish B．continue C．keep D．begin 小题20: A．involved B．stuck C．unfinished D．changed
