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(锁链)， 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 didnt 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 rage, its enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldnt.Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?_.

He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lions huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. “How dare you wake me up! ” he shouted angrily. Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw. “On the second thought, Im in the mood for the snack, and youll make a delicious meal.”, he said.Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare（饶恕） me! If you let me live, Ill always remember your kindness. And, some day, I might be able to help you.”“ How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunters net. The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldnt escape.When Mouse heard Lions frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed（咬）through the ropes to make a hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse. “Thank you for saving my life,” said Lion, smiling his widest smile. “I was mistaken. You are not a powerless little mouse.

Somehow they began to quarrel (争吵 ) about small matters. Suddenly, Mike hit Jim in the face. Jim was hurt, buthe said nothing. He just wrote in the sand: Today my best friend hit me in the face. They kept on walking, and at last, they found a river. So they decided to take a bath. Suddenly, Jim got stuck in the mire (陷在泥里 ). At that moment, Mike saved him. After Jim felt better, he wrote on a stone: Today my best friend saved my life. Mike saw this, and asked, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand. After I saved you, you wrote on a stone. Why” Jim answered, “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand. Thus winds of forgiveness (宽恕 ) can blow it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave (铭刻) it in stone, then no wind can ever blow it away.” 36. When did the story happen? 37. What did Mike and Jim quarrel about?38.

As it does, the prices of this kind of cars are going down.To charge the car, the US Department of Energy is paying for at least 10,000 charging stations around the country. And it will cost about three dollars for each charge.Now carmakers are looking for other ways to make the car cheaper. Then more people will use electric cars, and well have a clean and nice world in the future.41. Why will the cars be in great need in the future?42. How long does it take to charge an electric car for only 100 miles of driving?43. Are electric cars cheaper than cars using oil at present?44. How much should people pay for each charge?45.
