A hare was very popular with the other animals who all said they were her friends．But one day she heard the hounds（猎犬）getting close and hoped to escape them by the aid of her many friends． So，she went to the horse，and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back．But he refused，because he had important work to do for his master． He felt sure that all her other friends would come to help her．
She then came to the bull，and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns （角）．The bull replied，"I am very sorry，but I have an appointment with a lady；but I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want．" The goat，however，feared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon it．The sheep，he felt sure，was the proper friend to ask for help．
So she went to the sheep and told him the situation．The sheep replied，"Another time，my dear friend． I do not like to have anything to do with it，as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares．"
The hare then went，as a last hope，to the calf （小牛），who regretted that he was unable to help her，as he did not like to take the responsibility （责任） upon himself，as so many older persons than himself had refused the task．By this time the hounds were quite near，and the hare took to her heels and luckily escaped．

As my friend was passing some elephants，he suddenly stopped．He was confused by the fact that these huge animals were being held by nothing but a small rope．The rope was tied to their front legs． It was that the elephants could break away from the ropes at any time．But for some ，they did not．
My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and didn't to get away．
“Well，” he said，“when they are very and much smaller，we use the same size rope to tie them．At that age，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they are used to that they cannot break away．They believe the rope can hold them，so they never try to break free．”
My friend was amazed．These animals could at any time break free， because they believed they couldn't，they were stuck right where they were．
Like the elephants，how many of us go life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something，simply because we at it once before? How many of us are being held back by old，outdated that no longer serve us?

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. Finally, we must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "Learn through use". Practice is important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever(无论何时) we can.The most important things to learn a foreign language are________.
| A．understanding and speaking |

Talking to Teachers—Teachers are just people．Behind that desk, is a living, breathing human being．And just like any human being, they will probably be friendly to people who talk nicely to them．Teachers also seem to get along better with children who take schoolwork seriously and are prepared for class．And, just like any other human being, teachers like to be appreciated．The next time your teacher helps you solve a math problem or figure out a science project, say thank you with a smile.
Talking to Parents—Parents can be very supportive if their children ask for help．If you think there’s something your parents can do to help you socialize more or feel more comfortable around people, then ask them．Very often, parents want very much to help, but really don’t know what to do．Pick a quiet time of the day and ask to talk．Tell them how you feel．Maybe they had the same trouble when they were kids.
Talking to Stranger —This is always a tough one．How do you deal with a neighbor, the mail carrier, or someone walking down your street—situations that often seem to cause arguments between kids and parents．The answer to these questions will vary(变化) from kid to kid, from parent to parent because all cultures are different．Some folks live in small towns where a hello to everyone is “what’s done”．Then there are kids who live in the city who may have been taught not to speak to anyone they don’t know．If you’re having trouble with this and always feel awkward in these kinds of situations, you might want to talk to your parents or a teacher about it．Where do they think you should draw the line(线)?

In today’s fast paced，high stress world people are working longer hours than ever, and often exhaust themselves at day’s end in front of the television to relax enough to begin again in the morning. However, television watching, for most people, does not really lower stress. Studies show that TV viewing more than an hour or so actually creates stress and, especially in women, may lead to the blues. Most individuals are unaware that doing some exercise after work makes them more energetic since it increases energy levels.
Wise use of free time does not mean getting an advanced degree, although the mental encouragement gained through education is unbeatable in keeping your mind active. Learning new things nearly always adds a spark to your daily life, especially if it is a favorite topic, such as sport, fashion, or art. Also, look through your bookstore or library to find books on your interests. Try to replace a half hour TV watching with reading.
It is reported that in the United States recently, many individuals have as few as two good friends. Long work hours and car commute act to separate people from each other. This separation is deadly.

Taking a class will lift your spirits and allow you to meet others with similar interests. Hobbies are great for reducing stress and provide another opportunity for social interaction.
Using your free time to aid your health may include these elements and many more, such as going to concerts and spending time with family. Overall, the key is to spend less free time being passive.
