Comfort Zone

I would never forget what I learned from the day when I left my junior high school. On the last day our teacher told us something_______that I would like to share with you.

He began by drawing 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, “Can anyone tell me what this is?” In a long silence, one student decided to______his idea,”The world?” The teacher said, “That’s close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are inportant to you. Your home, your family, your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any______.”

“Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?” A strong silence came over the room. The same student replied,”You are afraid.” Another student said, “You may make mistakes.” The silence continued and our teacher smiled and asked,” When you make mistakes, what can the result be?” The first student said,” You______something.”

“Exactly, you are learning.”Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow（箭头） ____from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying,”When you leave your Comfort Zone, you put yourself out there, in a______that you are not comfortable with, The result is that you learn something that you did not know and you enlarge your knowledge to become a better person.”He turned again to the blackboard and drew a bigger circle around the original（原来的）circle, and______a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc.

A lesson from this story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone you will never be able to open your eyes to the outside world and learn, When you step out of your Comfort Zone, you will______make your circle bigger to challenge your mind and grow to be stronger, and all in all be a better person.

Mother's Day is a holiday that celebrates and honors mothers in the United States. It is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. It became an official holiday in the country at the start of the 20th century as a way to honor mothers whose sons had died in war.

The holiday is celebrated in a number of ways. People give mothers gifts like flowers，cards，and jewelry to thank them for all their hard work.A popular symbol of the holiday is the carnation. This is because when the holiday first began in the U. S. people were encouraged to wear a red carnation if their mother was alive or a white carnation if their mother was dead. Many people take their mothers out for a special meal. In fact，Mother's Day is the most popular date in the U. S. for people to go out and eat and it is said that people spend billions on meals and gifts. Mother's Day is also the most popular day to make long distance calls in the U. S.It is the second most popular gift-giving day after Christmas.

Since its establishment，Mother's Day has been criticized for becoming highly commercialized（商业化的）．In fact，the founder of the U. S. holiday，Anna Jarvis，began protesting the holiday and was even arrested for disturbing the peace for demonstrating. Jarvis's own mother started the campaign to establish（创建）a mother's holiday during the American Civil War.

Mothers are not the only people celebrated on this day. All mother figures including grandmothers，great-grandmothers，stepmothers，and foster mothers are honored on the holiday. In schools many students make special gifts，including handmade cards. While widely recognized，Mother's Day is not only celebrated in the U. S but in many other countries around the world，where they have their own version.

【1】Are mothers the only people celebrated on this day?

【2】When is Mother's Day celebrated in the U. S?

【3】Why did the U. S establish Mother's Day at the start of the 20th century?

【4】Who established a mother's holiday during the American Civil War?

【5】What's the second paragraph mainly about？

In one of my classes today we discussed the question of how our lives would be without a phone and I actually felt quite sad to hear how some kids these days cannot survive without their mobiles. Personally，I think nowadays we are controlled by our technology and pressurised（加压的）to keep up.

So let's see some of the points that came up in the debate and see if our generation really is addicted to electronic connections rather than true communication.

It is true that everything works at a fast pace these days，due to the quick access we have to pretty much anything and anyone. For example，you can contact someone who lives on the other side of the world within seconds. This is great if you think about bow connected we can stay to the people who are far away from us；however，on the contrary，can we be too connected to the people who are close to us? An argument arose（出现）about the fact that it is easier to message someone from your sofa than to meet them in person and talk. On one hand，it is easier and nice sometimes to carelessly chat to a friend this way．However，it is also lazier and rude to prefer to talk to someone on your phone rather than meeting up，if you are able to，in my opinion. Social skills are important to have and if you are not going to put effort into real-life communication，then you are not going to progress in this ability. Another point was that phones are very handy to look up something that you are wondering about. For example，if you don't know a word in another language,you can quickly and simply use a translator to help you out. This can be very helpful in many situations，but it can also make a person dependent on the internet to help with anything. This factor slightly takes away the diversity（多样性）“learning a language and speaking with people，as you are able to access everything you need by the web.

All in all，this question is very interesting to consider for oneself as we become day by day more dependent on technology. We should just realize how much we really need to be connected by our phones while considering the benefits and damage it can cause us.

【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A.They had a discussion about using phone.B.Few of us are controlled by technology.

C.The writer was in high spirit to hold the discussion.D.True communication has become less.

【2】What does the underlined phrase "is addicted to”in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.depends too much onB.has something to do with

C.falls into troubles ofD.moves on from

【3】What's the writer's main purpose in writing this passage？

A.To improve our social skills.

B.To tell us the disadvantages of talking by phones.

C.To persuade us to meet people who're close to us in person and talk.

D.To ask us to just think its necessity when we use electronic connections.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Can You Imagine Life without a Phone?

B.Talking on Your Phone or Meeting Up?

C.Does It Benefit You to Use Electronic Connections?

D.Do We depend too Much on Electronic Connections?
