24、When I was about twelve years old, a girl in my class liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). She said I was very thin; I wasn't good at math; I talked too much; I was too proud, and so on. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and asked, "Are those things true or not? Jane, didn't you ever think about what you're really like?" Then he added, "Well, you have that girl's opinions. Make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true."

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change, like being very thin, but many I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, "Now you know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of great help to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do. "

Comfort Zone is a state of mind where there is the least stress. 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, 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 comfortable 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 sharp 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.

【1】Compared with the comfort zone, people in the learning zone may ______.

A．learn to fear failure

B．face more challenges

C．try fewer risks

D．feel less stress

【2】From Paragraph 3, we will learn more if we ______.

A．avoid difficulties

B．get older

C．take risks

D．feel natural

【3】The underlined word “expanding” means ______ in Chinese.

A．填充

B．删除

C．缩小

D．扩大

【4】“Yerkes-Dodson Law” can be described by Graph(图表) ______.

A．

B．

C．

D．

【5】The best title of the text might be ______.

A．Comfort Zone Makes Us Safe

B．The State of Comfort Zone

C．Step Outside Comfort Zone

D．Never Fear Comfort Zone

27、Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.

Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.

How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining(组合) words and we make them out of proper names.

Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.

【1】What does the writer think of the change and development of language? He thinks it is   .

A. not a bad thing B. a terrible thing

C. a bad thing D. an uncomfortable thing

【2】Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?

Because their   and education levels are different.

A. ages, jobs    B. jobs, height

C. weight, ages   D. weight, height

【3】How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4   D. 5

【4】Which of the following is NOT the way for young people to help develop language according to the passage?

A. They do it when they communicate with others of their own age.

B. They change words on their own.

C. They create them by making words shorter or combining words.

D. They make them out of proper names.

【5】What is considered a dead language according to the passage?

The one that   over time is considered a dead language.

A. always changes B. often improves
