What if I want to select the 8th to 14th element of the list? I tried
to use "[" again, but it doesn't work.

x[8:14]

"[" is a function, and you want to use it on each element of the list,
so...

lapply(x, "[", c(1:7))

and the call to c() is of course not necessary, since ":" will generate a vector.
