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，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？

Many people have a fear of speaking in front of people． According to a study， it has an influence on 3in every 4people． This fact is surprising and worrying， as most jobs require the speaking ability． The following will help you to make a speech better．
Write note cards． Write main ideas on your cards． Don't write details． Put in some fun facts， questions， and other activities on the cards to share with the class． Don't look at your note cards for a long time while speaking． If necessary， you're only going to have a quick look at the card for information， not read every word．
Smile at your class． When it comes to speaking， there's nothing that draws your class into your speech better than a good old﹣fashioned smile． Be happy， because you're about to teach your class something they didn't know before． Studies have shown that smiles are infectious． That means once you smile， it's hard for everyone else not to smile． So if you want your speech to go off well， smile． That'll make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile．
Make eye contact． Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or note cards． Relax． Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time． Talk the same way now． Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once． That way， everyone will feel like you're communicating with them． Also， you'll look like you know what you're talking about．
Use hand motions． Move your hands along as you talk， using them to express your key points and keep the class interested． It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place．

It was a Christmas night． I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival． When I was complaining（抱怨）about it， three people appeared at my desk ﹣ a tired woman and two children．
"Are you all sick？" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right．
"Yes，" the woman answered weakly and lowered her head．
But when they started to present their problems， things became unclear． One child had a fever， but his temperature was OK． The other child had an earache， but she could not tell me which ear hurt． It seemed that the mother was pretending to cough．
Something was wrong．But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them． "Take your time， please，" said the mother． I checked their charts ﹣ no address． Suddenly I knew， they were homeless while the hospital was warm．
The family huddled（蜷缩）together under the Christmas tree， smiling and talking with each other sweetly． Quietly， I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room． It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day． The nurses' station suddenly came back to life． All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency（急诊）"．
We took out our meals for our Christmas "patients"． We also put together oranges and apples as presents． We tried to exceedthe needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night．Later， the little girl kissed me and said， "Thanks for being our angel（天使）．"
