When a man was walking by some elephants, he     1     (sudden) stopped. He was puzzled that these huge animals were being held only by a small rope(绳子) tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages.     2     was obvious that the elephants could break     3     (they) bonds at any time, but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and     4     (ask) why the animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used     5     same rope to keep them from     6     (run) away. At the age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are used to believing they cannot break the rope. They believe it can still hold them, so they never try    7     (break) free.”

The man was     8     (amaze). These animals could break free whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right in the place    9     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     10     we failed once, it doesn’t mean we can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we encounter failures in life.

A bear has an average weight of over 180 kilograms, and can run at     4     speed of 72 kilometres per hour and is good at swimming.

Last spring in Yellowstone, I walked along a path through a dark forest. I was fascinated by this     5    (amaze)scene.     6    (sudden),I found a bear staring back at me. I froze with my legs     7    (shake). Somehow, I forced my finger     8    (press)the button. After a while, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered     9    the shock, I found my most frightening but magical experience     10    (capture)forever in a single image.

The photo was a reminder to show respect to all animals.

When my father was a boy, he had a dog named Laddie. Laddie stayed constantly by Dad’s side—fishing, playing ball, and even     1     (follow) him to school. Laddie would simply follow Dad’s smell and track him all the way to school. Arriving after all the doors were closed, Laddie would sit outside the school, waiting     2     (patient). Eventually, someone would open     3     door and Laddie would slip in after him. Once inside, the dog would walk from room to room     4     he found his master. Of course, Dad’s teacher would immediately demand that the dog     5     (remove).

Later, my father went off     6     (join) his five brothers in World War Ⅱ, but Laddie continued to attend school, lying quietly each day     7     the feet of Dad’s younger brother, Dick. Laddie’s attendance was     8     consistent that Howard Junior High School awarded him an honorary diploma when Dick graduated. Now, that’s one smart dog.

Years later, when my dad was an adult, he met another dog: Casey. Casey went everywhere with Dad. In fact, I complained Dad spent     9     time with Casey than he did with any of his human family members. Casey trusted my father unconditionally,     10     sometimes Casey’s blind faith in my dad got them both into trouble.
