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 didnt 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, its 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 couldnt, 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 doesnt mean we can never succeed. If we try again and again, maybe we will succeed one day. So dont 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 tiedB . were too weak to break itC . didnt want to break itD . thought they couldnt break it（2）The underlined word stuck in Paragraph 3 Means . A . killedB . caughtC . foundD . 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 .

So, a zero-waste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasant-looking zero-waste products to help people start on a zero-waste life journey.Zero waste or danshari was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson. Her idea is: live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different kinds of ways to save the environment such as stopping the use of one-off objects; giving unwanted things to others or giving them away to organizations like the Red Cross.Yu Yuan, 27, is deeply interested in this idea. She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to buy things without thinking about them carefully until she saw a video about zero waste, in which a family of four placed the rubbish they produced every year in a jar (罐). After watching the video, Yu wanted to experience this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule-Refuse Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. Over August-October when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish.Now, the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing, where they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags printed with environmentally friendly logos. Most products sold in the store can be reused. The store also has second-hand books and CDs/DVDs with, ideas to make the best of the used things.Those who once experienced the non-waste lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas, says Ya, The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics (苦行僧). It is just around us at our finger-tips. Yu expects some of her friends to join her on the road to zero waste.（1）Bea Johnson suggests that people should _. A . try to produce no rubbish in lifeB . share objects with othersC . help their friends live comfortablyD . work hard for the Red Cross（2）We can see from the passage that Yu Yuan _. A . offers plastic bags in her storeB . is influenced by the 6R ruleC . often buys things she doesnt needD . likes listening to CDs very much（3）What Yu Yuan says in the last paragraph probably means that _. A . lots of people doubt the zero-waste lifestyleB . she feels it hard to continue her lifestyleC . her friends have followed her lifestyleD . the zero-waste lifestyle is not difficult to live（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
