Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. 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 (锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, (A) 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, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”

How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.

Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?

(B)_________ is part of learning. We should never give up the struggle (挣扎) in life.

_________________________________________________________________

The Yanfang line, Beijing’s first driverless subway line connecting the city’s southwest suburbs to its central urban district started its first pilot run on Wednesday morning.

It is also the capital city’s first subway line that is fully automatic, and fully equipped(装配)with domestic technology.

The line is expected to officially open to citizens at the end of next year.

The difference between the driverless subway line and the ordinary line is that the driverless technology allows the subway train to automatically complete all running procedures, including traveling, dormancy, awakening, opening and closing train doors, as well as returning, without any operations by drivers.

A comprehensive(综合的)control center has been set up for the subway line to far away control and supervise trains. In the event of an emergency, passengers riding on the subway trains are able to contact the control center through the wireless intercom(对讲机)devices that have been set up on every carriage. The camera in the carriage can automatically transmit(传输) images back to the control center.

The first Chinese-made driverless subway train opened in Hong Kong on Dec, 28. The seven-km line extends the MTR network to the Southern District, allowing the special administrative region’s 18 districts to be served by rail.
