　　When one hitchhikes — travelling by getting lifts from passing vehicles without paying, one 36 long hours either waiting at a likely intersection (岔路口) or 37 heavily down the road, and when I was so engaged, I found 38 in singing songs or in reciting the many poems I had memorized, or 39 the latest postcards I had added to my art collection.

　　I was in many ways the 40 boy on the road, in other ways the richest, and I was always happy to be on the road meeting new people, hearing new stories and seeing new 41 .

　　I have 42 been clever enough to analyze the motivation or drive for my hitchhiking, but I doubt that it was related to any 43 weakness. I have never been out of mind. Home was not exciting enough to keep me 44 to it. I had no material 45 of any kind to hold my interest for long periods of time staying home. 46 I was not unhappy with my family, my school and my friends.

　　When I was 47 , hiking with very little money and a thousand miles from home, I was convinced that I would 48 my journey safely, for I was quite optimistic as a boy then with 49 life before me. So it was with me when I was at sixty — I was still optimistic with so many 50 behind me. It seems that I was born to 51 at the world, and such men do not write tragedies.

　　The simple fact seems that whenever I saw that 52 road outside my house, I was 53 to explore what it was like. What Walt Whitman once said would always push me to go on : “Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open 54 , healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever I 55 .” That makes a difference to my life.

　　36. A. saves B. spends C. enjoys D. kills

　　38. A. comfort B. bore C. adventure D. pain

　　39. A. sending B. recalling C. designing D. buying

　　With a presidential campaign, health care and the gun control debate in the news these days, one can’t help getting sucked into the flame wars that are Internet comment threads. But psychologists say this addictive form of vitriolic (刻薄) back and forth should be avoided — or simply checked by online media outlets — because it actually damages society and mental health.

　　A perfect storm of factors come together to cause the rudeness and aggression seen in the comments’ sections of Web pages, said Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. First, commenters are often nearly nameless, and thus, unaccountable for their rudeness. Second, they are at a distance from the target of their anger — be it the article they’re commenting on or another comment on that article — and people tend to go against distant abstractions more easily than living, breathing talkers. Third, it’s easier to be nasty in writing than in speech, hence the now somewhat out-of-date practice of leaving angry notes (back when people used paper), Markman said.

　　And finally, Edward Wasserman, Knight Professor in Journalism Ethics at Washington and Lee University, noted another cause of the vitriol: bad examples set by the media. “Unfortunately, mainstream media have made a fortune teaching people the wrong ways to talk to each other. People understandably conclude anger is the political vernacular (行话) , that this is how public ideas are talked about,” Wasserman wrote in an article on his university’s website. “It isn’t.”

　　In Markman’s opinion, media outlets should cut down on the anger and hatred that have become the model in reader exchanges. “It’s valuable to allow all sides of an argument to be heard. To a greater degree, someone who is making a reasonable point but with an angry tone is hurting the nature of the argument, because they are promoting people to respond in a similar way,” he said.

　　For their part, people should seek out actual human beings to communicate with, Markman said — and we should make a point of including a few people in our social circles who think differently from us. “You’ll develop a healthy respect for people whose opinions differ from your own; the back-and-forth negotiation that goes on in having a conversation with someone you don’t agree with is a skill and it’s not easy to master it,” Markman said.

　　58. Why do psychologists encourage people to stop attacking each other online?

　　A. The social problems are too complex to figure out.

　　B. The online media outlets will review the comments.

　　C. The action does harm to society and individuals.

　　D. The Internet users are easily attached to hot topics.

　　59. What can we learn from the analysis by Markman?

　　A. People are cautious to make vitriolic remarks online.

　　B. The targets online are more likely to be commented on.

　　C. Understanding the literal meaning is easier than oral language.

　　D. An argument with an angry tone can promote its power.

　　60. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?

　　A. To show different ways of expressing opinions.

　　B. To reveal the severe problems of the public media.

　　C. To raise the awareness of proper communication.

　　D. To urge people to carry out actual offline communications.

　　Scientists should be allowed to change a person’s DNA in ways that will be passed on to future generations, but only to prevent serious and strongly heritable (遗传) diseases, according to a new report from the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine. However, making changes to these genes in order to improve or change traits such as strength, intelligence or beauty should remain off-limits, the report authors concluded.

　　Changing the so-called germline (种系) is illegal in the United States. It has largely been considered ethically off-limits here as well, at least while bioethicists and scientists considered the unforeseen effects and unexamined moral dilemmas of using new gene-editing technologies.

　　However, scientists have moved forward aggressively to explore the possibility of changing disease genes in other adult human cells with a revolutionary technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. It is widely believed that gene editing of this sort could treat patients with metabolic (新陈代谢的) disorders, certain cancers, and a range of other diseases that arise from genetic mutations (突变) — without changing the germline.

　　Last year, Chinese scientists launched a trial that uses CRISPR-Cas9 in a treatment for lung cancer. While the trial’s outcome is awaited with high anticipation, scientists outside China have expressed concern that ethical reservations in the United States and Europe will put them at a disadvantage.

　　CRISPR-Cas9 makes gene editing more straightforward, more precise and far more widespread. As such, the National Academies’ report acknowledges that changing heritable DNA in eggs, sperm and early embryos is fast becoming “a realistic possibility that deserves serious consideration.”

　　The 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists who produced the report completed a comprehensive review of the issues raised by that prospect.

　　Clinical trials involving germline editing should only be pursued to treat diseases that cannot be improved with “reasonable alternatives,” the 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists said. In addition, they added, scientists should convincingly demonstrate they are targeting a gene that either causes or strongly makes a carrier likely to suffer from a serious disease or condition, and that they have weighed the likely risks and benefits of changing that gene.

　　Finally, scientists should conduct long-term follow-up studies to know how gene editing affects the next generations. Public debate and discussion about the technology should continue, the panel added.

　　61. In what circumstances can scientists change a person’s DNA?

　　A. Making a person look much younger.

　　B. Protecting future generations from some heritable diseases.

　　C. Using the most advanced gene-editing technologies.

　　D. Changing the germline for a better function.

　　62. What is the advantage of CRISPR-Cas9?

　　A. It can treat diseases more precisely without changing the germline.

　　B. It can successfully cure people of most deadly diseases.

　　C. It can change genes in adult human cells.

　　D. It can stop genetic mutations.

　　63. What possible conclusion can be drawn according to the passage?

　　A. Future generations will live longer and become more intelligent.

　　B. Chinese scientists created CRISPR-Cas9 and put it into use.

　　C. The gene editing is strictly forbidden for moral dilemmas.

　　D. The gene editing research is still at the primary stage.

　　64. What does this report mainly talk about?

　　A. A new gene-editing technology and concerns about it.

　　B. A germline-editing technology and approval for it.

　　C. Clinical trials of gene editing and social values of them.

　　D. Some germline clinical trials and scientific effects of them.

　　When Peter Fortune was ten years old grown-up people sometimes used to tell him he was a “difficult” child. He never understood what they meant. He didn’t feel difficult at all. He didn’t throw milk bottles at the garden wall, or tip tomato ketchup over his head and pretend it was blood, or slash at his granny’s ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He wasn’t noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyone he knew. His name was easy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him. Policemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to arrest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him?

　　It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many years that Peter finally understood. They thought he was difficult because he was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. ① Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the park. He liked to be alone and think his thoughts.

　　Now, grown-ups like to think they know what’s going on inside a ten-year-old’s head. And it’s impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summer’s afternoon, chewing a piece of grass and staring at the sky. “Peter, Peter! What are you thinking about?” they would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. “Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.” Grown-ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldn’t hear it or see it or feel it. They couldn’t tell Peter to stop it, because they did not know what it was he was doing in there. ② He could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called his name.

　　As for being on his own, grown-ups didn’t much like that either. They don’t even like other grown-ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what you’re up to. You’re up to what they’re up to. ③ Peter had different ideas. In fact, he thought, if people spent less time joining in and making others join in, and spent a little time each day alone remembering who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen...

　　The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesn’t say much is that the teachers at school, especially the ones who don’t know you very well, are likely to think you are rather stupid. ④ Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for an answer. But the truth was quite different.

　　65. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.

　　A. Peter liked playing practical jokes

　　B. Peter wasn’t particular about food at all

　　C. boys generally did some crazy things

　　D. Peter knew why he was called “difficult”

　　66. Which of the following would Peter be most likely to do?

　　A. To walk around a lake for quite a while.

　　B. To break the neighbor’s fence for fun.

　　C. To tie a dirty dustbin to a dog’s tail.

　　D. To sleep in the tent with his friends.

　　67. Where can the sentence “You have to join in, or you’ll spoil it for everyone else.” most probably be put?

　　A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④

　　68. What is the main reason that Peter was considered “difficult” by grown-ups?

　　A. He was far from communicative.

　　B. He turned a deaf ear to others.

　　C. He did not do well in his studies.

　　D. He preferred to live on his own.

　　69. What might the author continue to write about in the following part?

　　A. Effective measures to help Peter out.

　　B. How the unique ideas Peter had amazed others.

　　C. Difficulties keeping Peter from learning well.

　　D. Further prejudice against Peter among grown-ups.

　　70. What can serve as the best title of this passage?

　　A. The Daydreamer B. The Troublemaker

　　C. The Hard Nut D. The Dark Horse

　　When it’s Not Quite a Wonderful Life

　　A 2011 study by researchers might make you think twice about holiday difficult emotions. They followed dozens of bus drivers for two weeks, looking to see when they flashed fake versus sincere smiles at their passengers. The results showed that on days when the drivers tried to put on an act and pretend to be in a good mood, their actual moods got worse. This was espe­cially true for women. And another research suggests that people who really want to be happy actually obtain less happiness from positive experiences, apparently because their expectations are too high. Again and again, trying to gain happiness despite no preference seems to have the opposite result.

　　The results of the bus-driver study can be explained by research­ers Oliver John and James Gross, who found that negative feelings like sadness or anger only intensify when we try to suppress (压制) them. That’s because we feel bad about ourselves when our outward appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside. What’s more, when we suppress emotions like sadness, we deny them the important function they serve. If we don’t recog­nize sadness we might not take the neces­sary steps to improve the situation. Expressing our sadness can also get comfort and compassion from those who care about us, strengthening our bonds.

　　Recently, scientists have also been paying special attention to the benefits of mindfulness. When you respond mindfully to an emotional trigger (诱因) , you pause rather than reacting, and then you can escape getting troubled by thoughtfulness. Rather than scold yourself, you simply notice what you’re feeling without judging that response as right or wrong. Studies suggest that a mindful response to a negative event reduces the amount of sadness we experience, is associated with less depression and anxiety, and may even carry physio­logical benefits, such as lowering our heart rates.

　　Unavoidably, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows. Perhaps the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well-being.

　　That was the key insight from a study published in 2014 by a team of researchers from Yale University. Their survey of more than 37,000 people found that, after experiencing a greater variety and abundance of emotions consistently linked to lower depres­sion, people took less medication, visited doctors less frequently, spent fewer days in hospitals, practiced bet­ter dietary and exercise habits, and smoked less.

　　In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are like so many other parts of the holidays, they’re nothing to fear. Just make sure you’re balancing them with lighter experiences.

　　As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, and no cages either. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

　　He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the rope of the same size to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away.”

　　The man was amazed. These animals can break free from their bonds at any time, but because they believe they can’t, they are stuck right where they are.

　　With a presidential campaign, health care and the gun control debate in the news these days, one can’t help getting sucked into the flame wars that are Internet comment threads. But psychologists say this addictive form of vitriolic (刻薄) back and forth should be avoided — or simply checked by online media outlets — because it actually damages society and mental health.

　　A perfect storm of factors come together to cause the rudeness and aggression seen in the comments’ sections of Web pages, said Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. First, commenters are often nearly nameless, and thus, unaccountable for their rudeness. Second, they are at a distance from the target of their anger — be it the article they’re commenting on or another comment on that article — and people tend to go against distant abstractions more easily than living, breathing talkers. Third, it’s easier to be nasty in writing than in speech, hence the now somewhat out-of-date practice of leaving angry notes (back when people used paper), Markman said.

　　And finally, Edward Wasserman, Knight Professor in Journalism Ethics at Washington and Lee University, noted another cause of the vitriol: bad examples set by the media. “Unfortunately, mainstream media have made a fortune teaching people the wrong ways to talk to each other. People understandably conclude anger is the political vernacular (行话) , that this is how public ideas are talked about,” Wasserman wrote in an article on his university’s website. “It isn’t.”

　　In Markman’s opinion, media outlets should cut down on the anger and hatred that have become the model in reader exchanges. “It’s valuable to allow all sides of an argument to be heard. To a greater degree, someone who is making a reasonable point but with an angry tone is hurting the nature of the argument, because they are promoting people to respond in a similar way,” he said.

　　For their part, people should seek out actual human beings to communicate with, Markman said — and we should make a point of including a few people in our social circles who think differently from us. “You’ll develop a healthy respect for people whose opinions differ from your own; the back-and-forth negotiation that goes on in having a conversation with someone you don’t agree with is a skill and it’s not easy to master it,” Markman said.

　　58. Why do psychologists encourage people to stop attacking each other online?

　　A. The social problems are too complex to figure out.

　　B. The online media outlets will review the comments.

　　C. The action does harm to society and individuals.

　　D. The Internet users are easily attached to hot topics.

　　59. What can we learn from the analysis by Markman?

　　A. People are cautious to make vitriolic remarks online.

　　B. The targets online are more likely to be commented on.

　　C. Understanding the literal meaning is easier than oral language.

　　D. An argument with an angry tone can promote its power.

　　60. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?

　　A. To show different ways of expressing opinions.

　　B. To reveal the severe problems of the public media.

　　C. To raise the awareness of proper communication.

　　D. To urge people to carry out actual offline communications.

　　C

　　Scientists should be allowed to change a person’s DNA in ways that will be passed on to future generations, but only to prevent serious and strongly heritable (遗传) diseases, according to a new report from the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine. However, making changes to these genes in order to improve or change traits such as strength, intelligence or beauty should remain off-limits, the report authors concluded.

　　Changing the so-called germline (种系) is illegal in the United States. It has largely been considered ethically off-limits here as well, at least while bioethicists and scientists considered the unforeseen effects and unexamined moral dilemmas of using new gene-editing technologies.

　　However, scientists have moved forward aggressively to explore the possibility of changing disease genes in other adult human cells with a revolutionary technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. It is widely believed that gene editing of this sort could treat patients with metabolic (新陈代谢的) disorders, certain cancers, and a range of other diseases that arise from genetic mutations (突变) — without changing the germline.

　　Last year, Chinese scientists launched a trial that uses CRISPR-Cas9 in a treatment for lung cancer. While the trial’s outcome is awaited with high anticipation, scientists outside China have expressed concern that ethical reservations in the United States and Europe will put them at a disadvantage.

　　CRISPR-Cas9 makes gene editing more straightforward, more precise and far more widespread. As such, the National Academies’ report acknowledges that changing heritable DNA in eggs, sperm and early embryos is fast becoming “a realistic possibility that deserves serious consideration.”

　　The 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists who produced the report completed a comprehensive review of the issues raised by that prospect.

　　Clinical trials involving germline editing should only be pursued to treat diseases that cannot be improved with “reasonable alternatives,” the 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists said. In addition, they added, scientists should convincingly demonstrate they are targeting a gene that either causes or strongly makes a carrier likely to suffer from a serious disease or condition, and that they have weighed the likely risks and benefits of changing that gene.

　　Finally, scientists should conduct long-term follow-up studies to know how gene editing affects the next generations. Public debate and discussion about the technology should continue, the panel added.

　　61. In what circumstances can scientists change a person’s DNA?

　　A. Making a person look much younger.

　　B. Protecting future generations from some heritable diseases.

　　C. Using the most advanced gene-editing technologies.

　　D. Changing the germline for a better function.

　　62. What is the advantage of CRISPR-Cas9?

　　A. It can treat diseases more precisely without changing the germline.

　　B. It can successfully cure people of most deadly diseases.

　　C. It can change genes in adult human cells.

　　D. It can stop genetic mutations.

　　63. What possible conclusion can be drawn according to the passage?

　　A. Future generations will live longer and become more intelligent.

　　B. Chinese scientists created CRISPR-Cas9 and put it into use.

　　C. The gene editing is strictly forbidden for moral dilemmas.

　　D. The gene editing research is still at the primary stage.

　　64. What does this report mainly talk about?

　　A. A new gene-editing technology and concerns about it.

　　B. A germline-editing technology and approval for it.

　　C. Clinical trials of gene editing and social values of them.

　　D. Some germline clinical trials and scientific effects of them.

　　When Peter Fortune was ten years old grown-up people sometimes used to tell him he was a “difficult” child. He never understood what they meant. He didn’t feel difficult at all. He didn’t throw milk bottles at the garden wall, or tip tomato ketchup over his head and pretend it was blood, or slash at his granny’s ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He wasn’t noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyone he knew. His name was easy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him. Policemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to arrest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him?

　　It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many years that Peter finally understood. They thought he was difficult because he was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. ① Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the park. He liked to be alone and think his thoughts.

　　Now, grown-ups like to think they know what’s going on inside a ten-year-old’s head. And it’s impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summer’s afternoon, chewing a piece of grass and staring at the sky. “Peter, Peter! What are you thinking about?” they would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. “Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.” Grown-ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldn’t hear it or see it or feel it. They couldn’t tell Peter to stop it, because they did not know what it was he was doing in there. ② He could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called his name.

　　As for being on his own, grown-ups didn’t much like that either. They don’t even like other grown-ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what you’re up to. You’re up to what they’re up to. ③ Peter had different ideas. In fact, he thought, if people spent less time joining in and making others join in, and spent a little time each day alone remembering who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen...

　　The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesn’t say much is that the teachers at school, especially the ones who don’t know you very well, are likely to think you are rather stupid. ④ Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for an answer. But the truth was quite different.

　　65. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.

　　A. Peter liked playing practical jokes

　　B. Peter wasn’t particular about food at all

　　C. boys generally did some crazy things

　　D. Peter knew why he was called “difficult”

　　66. Which of the following would Peter be most likely to do?

　　A. To walk around a lake for quite a while.

　　B. To break the neighbor’s fence for fun.

　　C. To tie a dirty dustbin to a dog’s tail.

　　D. To sleep in the tent with his friends.

　　67. Where can the sentence “You have to join in, or you’ll spoil it for everyone else.” most probably be put?

　　A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④

　　68. What is the main reason that Peter was considered “difficult” by grown-ups?

　　A. He was far from communicative.

　　B. He turned a deaf ear to others.

　　C. He did not do well in his studies.

　　D. He preferred to live on his own.

　　69. What might the author continue to write about in the following part?

　　A. Effective measures to help Peter out.

　　B. How the unique ideas Peter had amazed others.

　　C. Difficulties keeping Peter from learning well.

　　D. Further prejudice against Peter among grown-ups.

　　70. What can serve as the best title of this passage?

　　A. The Daydreamer B. The Troublemaker

　　C. The Hard Nut D. The Dark Horse

　　When it’s Not Quite a Wonderful Life

　　A 2011 study by researchers might make you think twice about holiday difficult emotions. They followed dozens of bus drivers for two weeks, looking to see when they flashed fake versus sincere smiles at their passengers. The results showed that on days when the drivers tried to put on an act and pretend to be in a good mood, their actual moods got worse. This was espe­cially true for women. And another research suggests that people who really want to be happy actually obtain less happiness from positive experiences, apparently because their expectations are too high. Again and again, trying to gain happiness despite no preference seems to have the opposite result.

　　The results of the bus-driver study can be explained by research­ers Oliver John and James Gross, who found that negative feelings like sadness or anger only intensify when we try to suppress (压制) them. That’s because we feel bad about ourselves when our outward appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside. What’s more, when we suppress emotions like sadness, we deny them the important function they serve. If we don’t recog­nize sadness we might not take the neces­sary steps to improve the situation. Expressing our sadness can also get comfort and compassion from those who care about us, strengthening our bonds.

　　Recently, scientists have also been paying special attention to the benefits of mindfulness. When you respond mindfully to an emotional trigger (诱因) , you pause rather than reacting, and then you can escape getting troubled by thoughtfulness. Rather than scold yourself, you simply notice what you’re feeling without judging that response as right or wrong. Studies suggest that a mindful response to a negative event reduces the amount of sadness we experience, is associated with less depression and anxiety, and may even carry physio­logical benefits, such as lowering our heart rates.

　　Unavoidably, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows. Perhaps the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well-being.

　　That was the key insight from a study published in 2014 by a team of researchers from Yale University. Their survey of more than 37,000 people found that, after experiencing a greater variety and abundance of emotions consistently linked to lower depres­sion, people took less medication, visited doctors less frequently, spent fewer days in hospitals, practiced bet­ter dietary and exercise habits, and smoked less.

　　In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are like so many other parts of the holidays, they’re nothing to fear. Just make sure you’re balancing them with lighter experiences.

　　As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, and no cages either. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

　　He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the rope of the same size to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away.”

　　The man was amazed. These animals can break free from their bonds at any time, but because they believe they can’t, they are stuck right where they are.
