When a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, not understanding how these huge animals could be held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains (链子), no cages (笼子). 1 . 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 have to come to believe they cannot break away. 2 . So they never try to break free.”
The man couldn’t believe what he was seeing. These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. 3 . They believed they couldn’t.
Many of us go through life like the elephants. We sometimes believe that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before. 4 . We should never give up the struggle (奋斗) in life.

As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone booths have become fewer in German cities. But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology — books.
Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put benches outside for people to sit down and take a reading break. “It teaches people about reusing in details, about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning,” said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many cities across Germany. These libraries are supported by donations and taken care by local volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books. It takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.
Each of Berlin’s three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away. Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will.
One woman named Petra Rücker, a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. “I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,” Rücker said. “It looks interesting.” This time, she left without a book. “But I will certainly be back here,” she said.
1. Are telephone booths very popular in Germany? 2. How long does it take to replace the old books?
3. Why are there no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow? 4. Did Petra Rücker leave the booth with a book or without a book?

The idea of teamwork is very important to the success of any team. All coaches talk about working as one unit, as a team that plays as one. Teamwork and unselfishness (无私) create the strong center of a great team; without them a team cannot play well against other teams. You can have a group of superstars, but if they do not work well as one unit, they are not going to be successful. The team working as one unit is going to be successful.
Here are some things to consider when you are looking at your team: ◆ Does your team have agreed-upon goals they created as a team? ◆ Do the players openly encourage and support one another?
◆ Do they have open communication with one another, as well as the coaches? ◆ Does each player know what their role on the team is? ◆ Is there shared respect among the players and coaches? ◆ Do players use words such as “we” when referring to the team? ◆ Have they created a positive (积极的) team image for themselves? ◆ Does the team as a whole want to improve their performance? ◆ Does each member consider themselves as a “team player” ?
A winning team has players that share common goals and a common dream. Teams come together through shared attitudes about a particular sport. They may come together for a number of different reasons, but their goals are the same — to achieve top performance and
