19.    Comfort Zone is a state of mind where there is the least stress(压
力).However,  stepping into the learning zone can help to bring out the best in us. Here are the reasons.
▲ Challenging yourself can help you do at your best.
Stepping outside one's comfort zone is important to personal development. How can we
expect to make ourselves better if we only stick to habit and routine (日常)?  We should try something we might not succeed at.
▲Taking risks is what helps us grow.
As children,  we're natural risk﹣takers. But as we get older and learn to fear failure (失败), we start trying fewer new things. We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. There is no learning without some difficulty.
▲Facing new challenges can help us age better.
Our comfort zones seem to become smaller as we get older﹣but if we can keep expanding them, we'll open ourselves up to a greater world as we age.As we step into the learning zone, we will get more c
omfortable with the skills gradually and we'll start to move into the comfort zone.A study found that learning new life skills can help our brain stay sharp (敏锐的)as we get older.
However,  don't push yourself too far. Have you heard of "Yerkes﹣Dodson Law"?  It means performance increases as stress grows,  but only up to a point.If the level of stress becomes too high, performance will go down. When stress becomes too great for us to deal with,  we enter the danger zone.
厦门英语(1)Compared with the comfort zone, people in the learning zone may________.
A  feel less stress
B  face more challenges
C  make fewer efforts
D  refuse more changes.
(2)From paragraph 3, we will learn less if we________.
A  spend money
B  fear failure
C  take risks
D  feel natural.
(3)"Yerkes﹣Dodson Law" can be described by Graph________.
(4)The best title of the passage might be________.
A  Comfort Zone Makes Us Safe
B  What Is Comfort Zone
C  Step Outside Comfort
Zone        D  Never Fear Comfort Zone.
20.    I'd not heard of the word"slashie"until a couple of days ago.It's really funny how new words go mainstream(主流) .But, well, ________.
We all know slash is"/"',  so a slashie means a person with more than one job.Some people think slashies are those who can not find a full﹣time job,  or people who are lazy and don't want to work full time.I disagree.As long as the young would like to try,  there are plenty of full﹣time jobs here.And some slashies actually work even longer hours and have to be on call during weekends.Then why are people becoming slashies?
The trouble with working in a single job is that the security(保障) of that job is unsure.It is less possible for slashies to see all jobs gone at the same time.
