Jim is a boy who thinks a lot and learns a lot. One day when he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He saw a group of elephants and these big animals had a rope around their front     . The rope was very      , so the elephants could break it easily. But to his surprise,      did not.
Jim saw a trainer near the elephants. Then he walked over and asked him   . “Well,” the trainer said, “When they were very young and much smaller , we used the same       ropes to tie around their legs and, at that age, they were sure they      hold(约束)them. As they get bigger and bigger, thy still believe the ropes can hold them, so they     try to get away.”
Jim thought a lot     that. These animals could break their ropes at any time, but because they       they couldn’t, they didn’t give it a try.
Like the       many of us believe that we can’t do something in our life, just because we didn’t do it successfully in the past.

A teacher began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.  He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, " How much do you think this glass weighs?"
"50 g!" "100 g!" "125 g!" the students answered.

After death, John went to see God. God looked at him, feeling very unhappy, “You’ve lived in this world for 60 years. Why haven’t you gotten any result at all?” God asked.
John argued, “My God, I couldn’t become a successful person just because you didn’t give me any chance. If you let that magic apple hit on my head, the man who found the law of gravity should be me.”
God said, “OK, we might as well try again.”
God rocked his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago.
God shook the apple tree for the first time, when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John’s head. John picked up the apple, wiped it and ate it up as soon as possible.
God allowed another bigger apple drop on John’s head and John ate it up once again.
God shook the apple tree for the third time, when a much bigger apple fell on John’s head. John got mad, picked up the apple, threw it out heavily. Then he shouted angrily: “The apple annoyed my sweet dream! What a bad luck!”
The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton’s head. Newton awoke and picked up the apple. After a long time of thinking, he discovered the law of gravity at last.
The time returned once again now.
God said to John, “John, do you understand it now?”
John asked, “My God, please give me another chance…I will …”
God shook his head and said, “No. The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same, but each person’s ability to catch the chance is different.” 
小题1:When did John die?
A.At the age of 50.B.At the age of 60.
C.At the age of 70.D.At the age of 80.
小题2:How many times was John hit by apples?
A.Once.B.Twice.C.Three times.D.Four times.
小题3: What did John do after he was hit by the apple for the second time?

C.He threw the apple out.D.He thought something over.
小题4: Which is the best title of the passage?
