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 educational 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 express 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 important to you—your home, your family, your friends and your jobs. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any danger.”
“Can anyone tell me what will happen 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 learn something.”
“Exactly, you are learning.” Our teacher turned to the blackboard and 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 put yourself out there. The result is that you learn something that you do not know to become a better person.” He drew a bigger circle around the original (原来的) circle, and added 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. 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 to be a better person.
1.The story happened on ________.
A.the first day of junior high school B.the last day of junior high school
C.the first day of high school D.the last day of high school
2.Which of the following is NOT included in the Comfort Zone?
A.Friends. B.Cars. C.House. D.School.
3.When people step out of the Comfort Zone, they will ________.
A.feel a little afraid B.learn something
C.begin to make mistakes D.miss their family and friends
4.The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A.stepping out of Comfort Zone can make people better

C.arrows help people make more friends
D.silence in the class means students can think more

One day a teacher did an experiment his students would never forget.
As he stood in front of the students, he pulled out a very big glass cup and put it on the table.

Everyone in the class said, "Yes."
He replied, "Really?"
He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of gravel (碎石), then put some gravel in and shook the cup, and the gravel went down into the space between the big rocks.
He asked the students once more, "Is the cup full?"
"Perhaps not," one of them answered.
"Good!" he replied.

"No!" the class shouted.

Then he took out a cup of water and began to pour it in until the cup was filled. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What can you get from this experiment?"
One eager student raised her hand and said, "The point is, no matter how busy you are, if you try really hard you can always put some more things in!"
"Good answer, but no," the speaker replied, "that's not my point. The truth this experiment teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the big rocks' in your life? In my life they are my education, my health, and my family. Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all."
