26、How to Leave Your Comfort Zone

The comfort zone is a behavioral state within which a person uses a limited set of behaviors to deliver a steady level of performance, causing their progress to cease. But life is full of opportunities to step outside the comfort zone. Here are some ways one might try to do so.

Do everyday things differently. In everyday life, there are plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. Turn off your smartphone and television while having dinner, decide what to wear more quickly, or just slow down to take in the surroundings on a walk. 【1】

Try a new diet. Many people want to improve their diets and stop relying on “comfort foods”. 【2】 Shifting to a healthier diet can be as challenging as it is rewarding, with self-trust growing as you hit milestone goals along the way.

【3】 Many people are longing for this goal. For some, it can mean running their first 5K. But for others, it might be completing a marathon. Aiming higher with exercise is representative of leaving the comfort zone and a great way to get the ball rolling.

Get creative. Creativity—anything from writing a poem to building a business—usually involves an element of risk. 【4】 Therefore, failing and accompanying learning are expected outcomes. Exercising creativity is a good way to train yourself to have a growth mindset and let go of a need for perfection from the outset.

Challenge your beliefs. It’s easy to get stuck in our ways, but this can lead to self-satisfaction—a feature of being in the comfort zone. 【5】 While this can be uncomfortable, it enables growth and insight by challenging deep-rooted beliefs. This might take several forms, such as reading varied book genres, diversifying who you talk to, and visiting new places.

A．Take workouts to the next level.

B．Motivate yourself with a new sport.

C．Doing so often means trying something new.

D．Creative efforts are about stepping into the unknown.

E．Therefore, we need to explore alternative perspectives.

F．These changes break you out of old, comfortable routines.

G．Benefits of leaving the comfort zone won’t happen overnight.

27、   Last winter, I visited my sister and brother-in-law’s house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn’t have accessible parking. The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground — not many people had ventured out that evening!

When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that only my car was left there. Nervously, I quickly got into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.

All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror (后视镜), I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members — at least I thought that’s what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said “Excuse me, Ma’am, can we help you? You seem stuck.” Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said “I am stuck.” And the young man said “It’s okay, stay in your car and we’ll push you out of the snow.” And they did!

When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.

28、Most students of the University of Rochester(UR) will spend at least one evening at Tin Roof, the only bar located a block away from campus before they graduate. Kaleb Chitaphong, who spent numerous nights there as an undergraduate, bought the place.

Chitaphong didn’t intend to own a bar after graduation, instead hoping to follow his Political Science education through to a PhD and probably find a career in academia. But when his frequented place was facing closure last year during the height of the pandemic(疫情), Chitaphong decided he couldn’t let that happen. “I grew up in this area, so when finding out the business was closing, I contacted the owner. Initially, I had no plans to buy it. But when we got talking more, things worked out and I was able to gain ownership,” he said.

Chitaphong had experience in the restaurant industry from his family. But even with background knowledge, he still had a quick preparation in owning a bar the hard way—learning the laws, earning his alcohol license and understanding requirements—all during the pandemic. Chitaphong reopened the restaurant this past February, starting small.

Although Tin Roof is loved by students, Chitaphong hopes it can attract local residents as well, “It’s important for me to have a place where everybody can come and have a good time,” he said. While Chitaphong wants to have a bar that isn’t exclusive to just UR students, he also wants to remain close to campus life. “I want it to be a UR bar, in whatever way that means,” he expressed. “I’ve talked to sports teams of UR to get some jerseys(球衣) hung up.”

As pandemic limitation continues to ease up, Chitaphong has plans to host more events. In addition to Disco Tuesdays, he recently added Karaoke Fridays. He’s also planning cooperation with UR’s Stand-Up Comedy to try out Stand-Up Wednesdays.

Despite his big plans, Tin Roof isn’t Chitaphong’s end game. He may open up another business. But right now he’s focusing on this space to make it the best time for as many people as possible.

【1】What did Chitaphong do first when the bar was closing?

A．He made many ads for it.

B．He worked as a cook there.

C．He communicated with the owner.

D．He went there a lot.

【2】How did Chitaphong succeed in starting the bar?

A．He made many preparations.

B．He learned from some famous bars.

C．He gained help from his friends.

D．He only used his background knowledge.

【3】Why did Chitaphong contact the sports teams of UR?

A．To attract more players.

B．To promote various sports.

C．To win support for the teams.

D．To let his bar have a UR atmosphere.

【4】Which can best describe Chitaphong?

A．Knowledgeable and curious.

B．Hardworking and devoted.

C．Selfish and ambitious.

D．Honest and brave.

29、Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
