Jim is a boy who thinks a lot and learns a lot. One day when he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He saw a group of elephants and these big animals had a rope around their front     . The rope was very      , so the elephants could break it easily. But to his surprise,      did not.

Jim saw a trainer near the elephants. Then he walked over and asked him    . “Well,” the trainer said, “When they were very young and much smaller , we used the same       ropes to tie around their legs and, at that age, they were sure they      hold(约束)them. As they get bigger and bigger, thy still believe the ropes can hold them, so they     try to get away.”

Jim thought a lot     that. These animals could break their ropes at any time, but because they       they couldn’t, they didn’t give it a try.

Like the       many of us believe that we can’t do something in our life, just because we didn’t do it successfully in the past.

My sister and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts（烟蒂）for seven years．

One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground．1．它们使小镇看上去如此丑陋以致我们决定成立一个阻止人们扔烟蒂的小组。 We called it "No Butts about It"．

At first, we drew pictures with "The Earth is Not Your Ashtray（烟缸）"written on them．We put the pictures around our hometown in parks, by beaches, and along roads．We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment．2．Most smokers don't think that dropping butts hurts the Earth．But it does! And so does all rubbish．

Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us．We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers．We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so that they didn't have to drop butts．

At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes．Some companies want to do it．Many people have started to join our group since it be- gin．Today there 45 other "No Butts about It" groups in America．And there are even groups in England, Australia and India．

Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years．And we have won many prizes for our good work．But we are not interested in prizes．We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people．One day it will be．
