I had nothing for breakfast that morning. I was so ______ that I could hear my stomach growling (咕咕叫). So when the bell rang, I rushed to the dining hall at once. Minutes later, I stood in front of the counter (收银台), holding a plate full of food.

“Three dollars,” the lunch lady told me. I reached my hand into my ______ and the schoolbag was empty. I put the schoolbag on the floor to search for the money again. As I finally ______ the money wasn’t there, I could feel the ______ and fear washing over me.

Feeling quite ______, I didn’t notice that another person had stepped up to the counter. I finally looked up to tell the lunch lady my ______.

“I’m sorry. I don’t have any money with me.”

“Oh,dear, he paid for your lunch. You’re good,” the lunch lady said as she pointed to the direction the boy had gone.

I missed the chance to ______ him. He was nameless to me. He didn’t ______ know me. But he paid for my lunch. Although it was only three dollars, I couldn’t remember anyone doing something so nice for me.

A month later, on my way home, I saw an elderly woman struggling (费力) with heavy bags. I suddenly thought of the nameless boy who ______ me lunch.

“Excuse me, ma’am (夫人), do you need help?”

I’ll never forget her ______ as I rushed forward to lend her a hand. It’s the very prize for my act of kindness.

In my math class, Mr. Black drew a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house a car and a few friends inside the circle.

He asked us, “Can anyone tell me what this is?” Jack said, “The world?” Mr. Black said, “That’s close. This is your Comfort Zone (舒适区域). Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you—your home, your family, your friends, and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any danger. Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?”

Mr. Black then drew an arrow (箭头) pointing from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying, “When you leave your Comfort Zone, you will face the world that you are not comfortable with. The result is that you will learn something that you do not know and gain (获得) more than what you have.” He then drew a bigger circle around the first circle, and added a few new things like more friends, etc, into it.

The story tells us that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone, you will never be able to learn more. When you go out of your Comfort Zone, perhaps you will be afraid, challenge (挑战) your mind and grow to be stronger, and so become a better person.
