As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped and confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tying to their front leg. It was obvious that the elephants could break away easy, but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asks why these animals made no attempt getting away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they were very young, we use a same rope to tie them and at that age it was enough to hold them. They grow up, they still believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The man was surprised at that he heard. These animals just believed they couldn’t break away, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed once ago.

22. Most mornings, the line begins to form at dawn: scores of silent women with babies on their backs, buckets balanced on their heads, and in each hand a bright-blue plastic jug. On good days, they will wait less than an hour before a water tanker goes across the dirt path that serves as a road in Kesum Purbahari, a slum on the southern edge of New Delhi. On bad days, when there is no electricity for the pumps, the tankers don’t come at all. “That water kills people,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel (焦糖)-color1 ed liquid. “Whoever drinks it will die.” The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neighborhood. Women often use it to wash clothes and bathe their children, but no-body is desperate enough to drink it.
There is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but ex-perts usually put the minimum at fifty li-tres. The government of India promises (but rarely provides) forty. Most people drink two or three litres—less than it takes to wash a toilet. The rest is typically used for cooking and bathing. Americans consume between four hundred and six hundred litres of water each day, more than any other people on earth. Most Europeans use less than half that. The women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred litres that day—two or three buckets’ worth. Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesn’t go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon. She often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other way. Sometimes she just buys milk; it’s cheaper. Like the poorest people every-where, the people of New Delhi’s slums spend a far greater percentage of their incomes on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes.

A. a village
B. a small town
C. an area of a town with badly-built, over-crowded buildings
D. the part of a town that lacks water badly

A. the weather is bad               B. there is no electricity
C. there is no water                D. people don’t want the dirty water
48. A person needs at least ________ litres of water a day.
A. a hundred          B. four hundred         C. forty          D. fifty
49. Which of the following statements is wrong?
A. a hundred litres of water a day is enough for Shoba’s family
B. Americans uses the largest amount of water each day
C. in Kesum Purbahari milk is cheaper than bottled water
D. Shoba has a family of seven people
50. The passage mainly tells us ______.
A. how women in Kesum Purbahari gets their water
