23、As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, he was surprised to see that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was clear that the elephants could easily break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t run 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 believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The man was surprised. These animals could at any time break free from their ropes but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck(困在) right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

24、My grandfather had a small farm. He also worked in a factory.
One autumn, he promised to help his neighbor harvest(收获) his corn. But after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa's little machine broke down.

25、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into the class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not c【1】 understand the homework and didn’t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out by themselves.
One week later, the students entered the classroom excitedly to share their s【2】. One student gave away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping an old man cleaning the house, and another student had been trying to f【3】 a long, lost friend. Students were energized(给予活力的) by the homework and wanted other people to be kind too. And luckily, the local businesses provided them some money and materials. With the s【4】 of them, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind—-not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.
Since then, kindness activities have been very p【5】 in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform different kind acts, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or r【6】 money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and think about how small actions can make the world a b【7】 place.
