Asamanwaspassingtheelephants,hesuddenlystopped,confused...

問題詳情：

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.

【回答】

Some adult elephants, which could have easily broken away from the chains which confine them, chose to remain where they were. This is largely due to their conditioned thinking pattern, which were formed from their early age.(37 words)

The passage casts spotlight on the moral that once the fixed thinking pattern is deeply rooted in one's mind, it becomes extremely challenging for one to make any positive changes to the circumstances. Ridiculous as it may sound, it is not uncommon for us to see some vivid examples around. For instance, some of us invariably blame our failure in exams on our poor genes inherited from our parents, thus never adopting any effective approaches to polish up this subject.(80 words)

To eliminate this vicious thinking pattern, I should determinedly resort to my teachers or parents for help. I will talk my problems through and seek their suggestions. Once finding out the underlying reasons for my fixed thinking pattern, I will think out of the box and see things from a different angle.(51 words)
