【題目】

Comfort Zone is a state(狀態(tài)）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(失�。�, 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 stay sharp(敏銳的）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.

本文是一篇科普說明文。人的精神狀態(tài)分為：舒適區(qū)，學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)和危險區(qū)。進(jìn)入學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)可以幫助我們發(fā)揮出最好的一面。學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)的人可能面臨更多的挑戰(zhàn)，可以幫助你做到最好。走出舒適區(qū)對個人發(fā)展很重要。冒險是幫助我們成長的。面對新的挑戰(zhàn)可以幫助我們成熟。但是，不要把自己逼得太緊。隨著壓力的增加，表現(xiàn)也會增加，但只是到了一定程度。如果壓力太大，表現(xiàn)就會下降。當(dāng)壓力變得太大而我們無法應(yīng)對時，我們就進(jìn)入了危險地帶。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第1段第2句至第2段“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.（然而，進(jìn)入學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)可以幫助我們發(fā)揮出最好的一面。原因如下。挑戰(zhàn)自己可以幫助你做到最好。）”可知“與舒適區(qū)相比，學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)的人可能面臨更多的挑戰(zhàn)”，故選B。

【2】主旨題。第3段大意是“走出舒適區(qū)對個人發(fā)展很重要。如果我們只堅持習(xí)慣和常規(guī)，我們怎么能期望讓自己變得更好呢？我們應(yīng)該嘗試一些我們可能做不到的事情�！保�可知“如果我們冒險，我們會學(xué)到更多”。故選C。

【3】主旨題。本文是一篇科普說明文。人的精神狀態(tài)分為：舒適區(qū)，學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)和危險區(qū)。進(jìn)入學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)可以幫助我們發(fā)揮出最好的一面。走出舒適區(qū)對個人發(fā)展很重要。學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)的人可能面臨更多的挑戰(zhàn)，可以幫助你做到最好�？芍�“這篇文章最好的標(biāo)題可能是走出舒適區(qū)”；故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。最后一段大意：你聽說過“耶克斯·道森定律”嗎？它意味著隨著壓力的增加，表現(xiàn)也會增加，但只是到了一定程度。如果壓力太大，表現(xiàn)就會下降。當(dāng)壓力變得太大而我們無法應(yīng)對時，我們就進(jìn)入了危險地帶。可知“耶克斯-多德森定律”可以用A圖表來描述。故選A。
