    Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(鎖鏈)， no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that rage, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”

How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.

Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?

___________________. We should never give up the struggle(掙扎) in life.

Students will get a coupon (優(yōu)惠券) if they eat up their food at East China University of Science and Technology. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.

“It’s been such a surprise,” said Sun Lijun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”

 The measure is part of a national “eat-up” campaign(行動(dòng)) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校園).

Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average.

The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.

“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.

   But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.

   “I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the “eat-up” campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao.

1. The underlined word “motivation” in Paragraph 2 means__________ in Chinese.
