A comfort zone is a place, situation or level 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 be at your best
Stepping outside one’s comfort zone is important for personal development. How can we expect to make ourselves better if we only stick to the routine We should try something we might not succeed in.
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 any difficulties.
Facing new challenges can help us grow better
Our comfort zone seems to become smaller as we get older—but if we can keep expanding it, we’ll open ourselves up to a greater world as we grow. 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 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.
26. What is a comfort zone
A．A place with high stress. B．A situation with the least stress.
C．A learning environment. D．A dangerous area.
27. According to Paragraph 3, what helps keep our brain sharp
A．Having a high level of stress. B．Taking fewer risks.
C．Learning new life skills. D．Staying inside comfort zones.
28. What does the underlined word “expanding ” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．getting it better B．leaving it alone C．making it bigger D．keeping it the same
29. Which of the following picture can describe “Yerkes-Dodson Law”
30. What’s the best title for this passage
A．A comfort zone makes us safe B．What is a comfort zone
C．Step outside a comfort zone D．Never fear a comfort zone

A 回答问题
Volunteering means that someone works to help without being paid. Volunteers help people who really need help. There are many places where you can see different volunteers.
At school gates, students can see some volunteers with red vests (马甲). They are parent volunteers. In order to become professional traffic volunteers, parents should learn how to give directions to students and stop them from playing soccer on the road. When students go across the street, parent volunteers put up a “SLOW” sign to let drivers slow down. Because of these volunteers, students can get to school and go back home safely.
Another group of “red vests” show up on main roads. They help cleaners pick up dirty paper, plastic bags, glass bottles and so on. They ask the passers-by not to throw the rubbish everywhere. Although their work seems simple, they still take it seriously.
Some teenagers spend their free time in hospitals or old people’s homes. They cheer sick kids up or look after old people at weekends. In the countryside, some college students play an important role in volunteering. They can provide science and technology help for farmers. Some volunteers work as teachers in village schools.
A lot of volunteers show their kindness by helping others. They can make a difference to people in need and the society.

书面表达范文
Good afternoon,everyone. I am Li Hua. I am happy to share my experience in voluntary work.
I began to volunteer in the nursing home last term. Every weekend, I visit the elderly there. I chat with them about their old days and teach them how to use mobile phones to video call their children. Sometimes I also help clean their rooms.
I feel warm and proud to bring them happiness. Volunteering teaches me the importance of care. I hope all teenagers can take part in volunteer service and pass on kindness.
That’s all. Thank you for listening!
