As a result, the large elephant remains tied and stays in a small space.This metaphor(隐喻) can be used to describe what happens to human beings as we become trapped in a comfort zone. Just as the elephant's space determines what it can do, our comfort zone determines what we are able to achieve. Fortunately, humans are born with the ability to make conscious choices. The elephant doesn't try to break the rope free while we can easily leave our comfort zone.In order to expand our potential and succeed in life, we must expand our comfort zone into unfamiliar fields. You will never realize what you are truly able to achieve if you remain in your comfort zone. 36. The area where the baby elephant can move around is decided by _. A. the space covered by the elephant B. the length of the ropeC. the elephants comfort zoneD. the wooden post planted in the ground37. The large elephant does not try to break the rope, because _. A. the rope is too strongB. a wooden post is planted in the groundC. the elephant likes the small spaceD. the elephant thinks it still could not break free38. What can be the best title for the text? A. How to train elephants B. A cautious elephant C. A comfort zone D. Expand your comfort zoneBA jobless man Hambley applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test."You are employed" he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start."Hambley replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email." "I'm sorry", said the HR manager. "If you don't have an email that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy ten kilograms tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital（本金）. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with sixty dollars.Hambley realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go earlier every day, and return late. Thus, his money doubled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, Hambley is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker(代理人), and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email. Hambley replied, "I don't have an email." The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build a company. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?" Hambley thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!" 39. Hambley was refused by the HR manager because he_.

People that have their own truck.42. What is Hambleys opinion on Network? A. Its helpful B. He wanted to use it later. C. An office boy should use it. D. It doesnt mean everything.CIt remains a curiosity and a bit of a historical mystery why we don't all drive on the same side of the road. The fact is that most people are right-handed; that's why, for much of history, drivers have stuck to the left. Ancient Romans using two-wheeled carriages are believed to have held the reins(缰绳) with their right hands and a whip with their left; to avoid whipping the near drivers, they favored the left-hand side the road. It's also easier for right-handers to get on a horse from the left, so riders were attracted to that side to avoid the near traffic as they climbed on and off. Finally, knights(骑士) and the other drivers favored the left so they could do battle, if necessary, with their good hand.So why does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there's no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, people in upper class drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasantry to the right. During the violence, fearful rich people sought to mix with the peasantry by traveling on the right as well. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-handed conquest, like Great Britain, kept their left-handed tradition. 43. Who had a major effect on “keep-right” traffic law? A. Ancient Romans B. Hitler C. Napoleon D. Austrians44. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered. B. Hitler ordered right-hand traffic in Austria. C. Great Britain escaped right-handed conquest. D. The reasons that most of the world drives on the right side.45. What does the word peasantry in the last paragraph mean? A. People in upper class. B. Right-handers. C. Drivers. D. Poor people.46. Apart from Great Britain, which country mentioned in the text keeps left-hand traffic? A. France B. Ancient Rome C. Russia D.
