Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. 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.[来源:学科网]
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 rage, it’s 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 couldn’
t.
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?
___________________. We should never give up the struggle(挣扎) in life.

Would you like to experience what going to school was like in the late 1800s?
to start with, imagine everyone in school only one classroom.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most American students went to a one-room
schoolhouse. A single teacher would typically(典型地) have students in the first
through eighth grades, and she taught them all. The number of students varied from
six to 40 or more. The youngest children sat in the front, while the oldest students
sat in the back. The teacher usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history,
and geography. Students memorized(记忆) and retold their lessons.
The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse probably looked much like your own.
The teacher’s desk stood on a raised platform(讲台) at the front of the room, however,
and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating. The
bathroom was outside in an outhouse.
In Honeoye Falls, New York, there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today
can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century. For a week
during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn the way children learned
more than a hundred years ago.
What else has changed about school since the 19th century? For more information,

A great way for teens to cool off during the summer is at water parks. If you
live near a water park, you might think about getting a season pass. This way you
can go as often as you like.
Check to see if there are any water parks around you. Many are indoor facilities.
So even if it isn’t warm enough where you live to swim outdoors, you can enjoy swimming
in a temperature controlled area.
The prices are usually good. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water
park, is only $5.
Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money.
Older teens shouldn’t have much trouble finding jobs.
An idea is to get some teens together to form your own summer job business. You
can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, collect rubbish, water flowers,
etc.
Being that it’s summer, many people go on vacation and could use someone to
look after their houses while they’re away. You can also think about other jobs
you can do for them.
Teens love freedom. Sure you would like to get to such places as the small, movie
theaters, the zoo, the beach, picnic, bowling and local amusement park instead of
staying home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be helpful. Check to see if
your area has one for you teens.
Such a pass costs only $10 for the whole summer. The price is reasonable(合
乎情理的) and also your parents don’t have to always drive.
56. Who is the text written for?
A. Teachers
B. Parents
C. Teens
D. Travelers
57. What is NOT mentioned as a part tome job for teens?

mom or dad agreed to is eating healthier food.__63_____ Examples are: I’ll eat five
fruits every day. I’l l eat breakfast every morning.

them to keep going. If you’re making a change together, you can say, “Well, I’
m sorry. Let’s start fresh and go on with our plan tomorrow.” ___64______ Let your
parents know you love and care about them for what they’re doing and that it means
a lot to you.
What if a parent says “No”?
