A number of years ago， a man went to visit a circus（马戏团） in New York．He was able to walk around looking at the lions， monkeys， bears and other circus animals．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， no cages．It was clear that the elephants could，at anytime，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 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 age，its enough to hold them．As they grow up．they still believe they can not breakaway．They believe the rope can hold them， so they never try to break free．"
"How could it be？"said the man．These animals could at anytime break free from ropes．But because they were always stuck right where they were， they believed they couldn't．

Hey! Mother's Day is coming. Have you planned anything good for your mom? If not, try one of these tips.
What's her favorite?
Most teens don't know what their mom's favorite is. You do? Then, what are you waiting for? Buy her something she likes and wrap it carefully. The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it.
Treat a queen
Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off and you can do the housework.
Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, she doesn't look good any more. Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look beautiful!
Have some of your time
Our mothers have special memories in mind. It is the time that they gave birth to their dear baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Have you ever had a good time with your mother not talking about your problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her for the life she gave to you, the time she cared for you? Maybe you can tell her how happy you are when she was there looking after you during your painful days in your life.
Tell the magic words
Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?

More than 50, 000, 000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them.
When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too. In 1900, there were 1, 000, 000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980, there were only 200, 000.
The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil(巴西). They have lived in the rainforest for about 10, 000 years and they use more than 2, 000 different plants for food and for medicine. But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and more than 45, 000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made over a hundred airports. The Yanomami people lost land and food. Many died because new illnesses came to the forest with the strange people.
The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger.
Many forest people try to save their forests. Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people. “I want the Amazon forest to help all of us—forest people, and all the Earth,” he said. A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.
In Brazil, people were cutting down the forest of local people to sell the wood. Local people tried to save their rainforest. They made blockades(障碍) across the roads into the forest. In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months. No one cut down any trees during that time.
In Panama (巴拿马), local people also saved their forest. They made a rainforest park which tourists must spend money visiting.
The number of the people living in the Amazon forest in 1980 was _______of that in 1900.
| A．half | B．one-third | C．two-fifths | D．one-fifth |
The people who _______have destroyed the rainforest of the Yanomami.

| C．pick fruits and kill animals to eat |
| D．have lived there for about ten thousand years |

I used to watch him from my kitchen window．He seemed so small as he played through some tall boys on the playground．The school was across the street from my home and I would often watch the kids as they played during breaks．
I remember the first day when I saw him playing basketball．He ran circles around the other kids．He managed to shoot jump shots from their heads and into the basket．The big boys always tried to stop him but no one could．
One day，I met him and asked him why he practiced so much．Without a moment of hesitation（犹豫）he said，"I want to go to college．The only way I can go is to get a scholarship（奖学金）．I am going to play college basketball．I want to be the best．My daddy told me if the dream is big enough，the facts don't count．"I watched him through junior high school and into senior high school．Every week，he led his school team to victory．
One day in the senior year，I saw him sitting in the grass with head in his arms．I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside him． Quietly I asked what was wrong．"Oh，nothing，"came a soft reply，"I am just too short．"The coach told him that he would probably never get to play for a top team﹣much less offered a scholarship．So he should stop dreaming about college．
He was heartbroken and I felt his disappointment．I asked him if he had talked to his dad about it yet．He told me that his father said those coaches were wrong．They just did not understand the power of a dream．
He told him that if he truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop him except one thing﹣his own attitude（态度）．He told him again，"If the dream is big enough，the facts don't count．"
The next year，as he and his team went to the Northern California Championship game，he was offered a scholarship．Finally，he was going to get the college education that he had dreamed of．

Today we can use the Internet for many things: shopping, business, writing letters, talking to people, getting information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we call it e-talk.
People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters， acronyms(首字母缩略词). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some are as follows:
BRB (be right back), BTW (by the way), LOL (laughing out loud), IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations include info (information), pic (picture), puter (computer), sec (second), etc.
We usually don't see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
:-) (happy) ;-) (joking) :-( (sad) :-O (surprised)
These days, many public discussions have picture feelings, for example:
(happy) (sad) (angry) ( (cool)
There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "burning" the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
Why do people type acronyms?
| A．To type them quickly. | B．To make jokes. |
| C．To make newbies puzzled. | D．To show their feelings. |
What does the sentence “BTW, my puter is not working well. :-( ”mean?
| A．The person is angry at somebody. |
| B．The person has to go away from their computer. |
| C．The person is happy about getting a new computer. |
| D．The person is sad because his computer is having problems. |
If someone is angry, what may he type?
A. LOL B. BRB. C. 
D. 
E-talk will probably____________.
| A．stay the same |
| B．keep changing |
| C．be used by people on the telephone |
| D．be easy for newbies to understand |
The best title for this passage is________.
| A．E-talk |
| B．Picture Feelings |
| C．How to Use Abbreviations |
| D．The Changing Internet |
