He wondered why these huge animals were being held only by a small rope tied to their front, legs. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could break the rope at any time, but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why the animals just stood there and didnt try to get away. Well, the trainer said, when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same rope to keep them from running away. At that age, its enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break the rope. They believe it can still hold them, so they never try to break free. The man was surprised. These animals could break free whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldnt, they were stuck right where they were.How many of us go through life like the elephants- holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once before?Failure is a part of learning. If we failed once, it doesnt mean we can never succeed. If we try again and again, maybe we will succeed one day. So dont be afraid of failure and keep on trying.（1）The elephants never tried to break the rope after they grew up because they . A . liked being tiedB . were too weak to break itC . didnt want to break itD . thought they couldnt break it（2）The underlined word stuck in Paragraph 3 Means .
