Mr. Black decided to know more about the different jobs of his students’ parents. But some of students were laughing as he talked with Mary. Betty shouted, "Mary’s father is a garbageman!"Then everybody in the class laughed out loud. Mary felt her face tum red.

“Be quiet! Stop laughing!"Mr. Black said, " It is difficult but useful to be a garbageman. We should all be thankful to Mary's father.”

Mary’s father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn’t run up to him the way she always did. When they got back home, Mary went to her room and cried for a long time. Her father came into her room, "What happened? Why are you so sad?”

Mary told her father what happened and looked at him sadly. He didn't seem angry or hurt, “Well. “He said, " They are right. Being a garbageman is a dirty job. Tomorrow’s Saturday. Come to work with me,Mary.”

Mary wrinkled her nose because of the bad smell. "Don't worry. In five minutes you won't smell a thing.”said her father.

Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Mary’s father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.

It was fun, but also hard work. At last, no more garbage was left and Mary felt very proud and happy.

“Garbage makes us uncomfortable and unhealthy but when we clear it away, everything is nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making others happy.”

In my math class, Mr. Black drew 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 us, “Can anyone tell me what this is?” Jack said, “The world?” Mr. Black said, “That’s close. This is your Comfort Zone (舒适区域). Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you—your home, your family, your friends, and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any danger. Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?”

Mr. Black then 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 will face the world that you are not comfortable with. The result is that you will learn something that you do not know and gain (获得) more than what you have.” He then drew a bigger circle around the first circle, and added a few new things like more friends, etc, into it.

The story tells us that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone, you will never be able to learn more. When you go out of your Comfort Zone, perhaps you will be afraid, challenge (挑战) your mind and grow to be stronger, and so become a better person.
